Power BI Desktop on macOS

Description

Many organizations are increasingly adopting macOS as a primary endpoint platform. However, Power BI Desktop remains available only for Windows, forcing macOS users to rely on virtual machines, remote desktops, Windows devices, or limited web-based alternatives.

We would like Microsoft to provide a native version of Power BI Desktop for macOS, enabling Power BI developers and analysts to create, edit, and publish reports directly from their corporate Mac devices.

Business Impact

• Large enterprises are deploying growing numbers of managed macOS devices.
• Data analysts, controllers, and business users working exclusively on macOS cannot use the full authoring capabilities of Power BI Desktop.
• Current workarounds (Windows VMs, Azure Virtual Desktop, remote Windows PCs) introduce additional licensing, infrastructure, support, and security complexity.
• Web authoring in Power BI Service and Microsoft Fabric is improving but does not yet provide full parity with Power BI Desktop.
• A native macOS application would improve user experience, reduce operational overhead, and strengthen Power BI adoption in organizations with mixed Windows/macOS environments.

Thank you for considering this request!
