Great! This is included in the December release - so can be marked as "completed".

It may be worth learning R and how to manipulate and clean data. Try the tidyR and dplyR packages for anyone with SQL experience.
RE: use Power BI as data source for R
'@Anonymus: Agree – might be worth it.
But if you need to set priorities for your learning time in an environment with so many other things worth learning as well, new tools that deliver nothing real new might end up last.
So why not utilize what we already know and use our time for some R packages on statistics or optimization techniques that either cannot be done in Power BI at all or are comparably cumbersome?
Power BI has the potential to make us utilize our already generated knowledge – my pledge is to release it.
