Is Azure Synapse Analytics supporting R Language?

Question

Apart from the image below I can't find documentation on this topic. I also tried creating a new notebook from my Synapse Workspace but I can only choose between PySpark, Scala, .NET Spark and Spark SQL.

Is Synapse Analytics supporting R notebooks?

Answer 1

Hi @Fabio Carello ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum and thanks for your query.

Unfortunately R support within Synapse Spark is currently not available.

Here is a feature request suggestion shared by an Azure Synapse User : https://feedback.azure.com/d365community/idea/e3fc527d-0b25-ec11-b6e6-000d3a4f07b8

I would recommend you to please upvote and/or comment on the above feature request suggestion as it would help to increase the priority of feature implementation.

Also could you please share the MS document link that shows the above image you shared, so that I can work with internal team to update the image appropriately.

Hope this information helps.
