Download Power BI on Mac

[vincenti]

Hi guys,

I am using a Macbook Pro and am hoping to use Microsoft Power BI to run analytics for my small business. Is there a way for me to download it to my Macbook? If not, is there a timeline on when a Mac version might be released? 

Thank you,

Vince

As of now, Microsoft Power BI Desktop is not available as a native app for MacOS. There is no official Mac version released.

However, Mac users can use the following options:

• Use Power BI Service (web version) fully in a browser like Safari or Chrome on your Mac to create and interact with reports online.

• Use virtualization or emulation software on Mac (like Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion) to run Windows and then install Power BI Desktop within that Windows environment.

• Use Boot Camp on Intel Macs to dual boot Windows and install Power BI Desktop there (Apple Silicon Macs do not support Boot Camp).

There is no official timeline announced for a native Mac version of Power BI Desktop, so the best choice is to work with Power BI Service or Windows via virtualization.

This is the common approach for Mac users wanting to use full Power BI Desktop functionality currently.

Microsoft Power BI is primarily designed for Windows, and there isn't a native Mac version available. However, you can use Power BI through your web browser on your Mac. For updates on a potential Mac version release, please check Microsoft's official announcements or support channels for the latest information. For more details visit us - Power BI for MAC

I also bought 1 MAC, but you do not know Power by any. I did not find related documents.

Vince, another option to look at is Turbo.net, which can stream Power BI to your Mac from the cloud:

Run Power BI Desktop on Mac - Turbo.net

This doesn't require running any VMs on your Mac. This service also streams apps to iPads, tablets, and other devices.

Best,

No mac version... This is unfortunate.

Hope to see Power BI offer a Mac version - and I understand why it's not a priority .

Best,

I'll add my two cents - I'm getting a lot of pushback on Power BI at my org because it doesn't have a Mac version. Get on it, MS!

I have a similar situation.  I've invested time in learning Power BI (PBI) but we're switching to Tableau given the limitations of PBI regarding sharing, security and permissions, especially when related to macs.

It's unfortunate because PBI is intuitive and has many features I like, but we work with stakeholders throughout the world and the use of macs is a part of that.  Limitations are forcing businesses decisions that stop favouring MS products due to their limitations in comparison to their competitors.

What limitations are you referring to specifically? There is no Mac version of the desktop app for authoring, but for sharing you can use any browser and only need the desktop app for authoring.
