Using two R scripts in a PowerBI dashboard where script B depends on script A

I am trying to translate some code that we previously used in a software similar to PowerBI into some form that’s compatible with PowerBI. One thing that I need to do for that is to generate a model fit to some data and use that to display some data on the fit (in some further visual elements).

From a sequential point of view, this is trivial. Generate an object, then work on that object and print some data. But from what I understand about PowerBI, this kind of interdependency between R scripts / visual elements (generate an object, then hand that object to other procedures to generate further output) is not intended and since I need to use several visual elements, and all of them depend on the output of the first, I have no idea how to work this out.

Then the data needs to be created in Power Query and loaded into the data model. You can run R in Power Query to generate the data, and visualize it with regular Power BI Visuals and the R Visual.
