Anomaly Detection unavailable in PowerBi Desktop

Good Morning Dear,

I have 02 serious worries:

1- the 'Anomaly detection' functionality does not appear in the configuration settings of my PowerBI Desktop
version: 2.124.2028.0 64-bit(December 2023). Please help me with this first concern because I have not made any progress
in my work for over a week.

2- In the 'My workspace' of my powerbi service account, I cannot create a dataflow; When I want to load my Excel file,
I receive an error message like this: 'Your account does not have a sufficient license for OneDrive for Business to complete
the requested action. Please contact your organization’s Office 365 administrator.’

Please Guys, i need your Help

Regards, Joel

Anomaly detection is only available with very specific conditions (the type of visual you use, and the data types in them) - check the last section of this page for more details: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-anomaly-detection

You cannot create a dataflow in My Workspace - either create a new workspace, or create a dataflow in any other workspace in your organisation. It is in the second paragraph of this page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/dataflows/dataflows-create
