    terra: rspatial/terra: R package for spatial data handling https://rspatial.github.io/terra/reference/terra-package.html

    tidyterra: dieghernan/tidyterra: tidyverse and ggplot2 methods for terra spatial objects (github.com)


    PowerBI already supports several R packages for spatial data analysis, such as 'raster' and 'sf'.

    Terra provides similar functionality to raster, but with more efficient implementations. Adding terra to the supported packages would very much improve spatial data analysis with R in PowerBI.

    TidyTerra provides an interface between terra and the tidyverse. With terra, it would improve spatial data presentation with R in PowerBI.

    RE: Add 'terra' and 'tidyterra' to PowerBI supported R packages.

    Important to note that 'raster' has been deprecated as of 2024.'terra' is the officially recommended replacement.
