Current Python Version Compatible with Power BI

‎03-04-2021 11:01 AM

Just wondering what the current version of Python will work with Power BI Desktop?  Also, should I install using Anaconda or just Python.  Thanks.

Hi @iaaw100a 

Yes the latest ver of Python will work.

You can use Anaconda (it's more complicated to set up and launch) but Microsoft recommend using the official distribution from Python.org

 

Run Python Scripts in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
