This seems to be a issue with the march release of power BI. Try revertong to Feb release
I've had a call from MS support saying that MS is not supporting the use of PBI desktop on Mac/Parallels (any more). Therefore, he can't help me and the dev team will probably not work on a solution.
Maybe we should go back to using Tableau ...!
The issue is not specific to Mac. Microsoft has ARM Based Windows OS Builds and is now supporting ARM Based processors such as the Snapdragon. Microsoft Power BI not being supported on Windows 11 ARM builds is a huge issue. Why is Microsoft not supporting their own software on their own operating systems!!!!
Oh, that's interesting. Maybe all dev energy is put into Fabric and PBI Desktop will become obsolete one day - which would make it OS-agnostic. But until then ...?
Hello to all possibly affected or interested - it seems that in the May 2026 release of PBI Desktop this is solved! I have had the workaround of using an old version of PBI Desktop for the affected data model and reports. With that, the issue did not hurt so much. Instead I had a frustration at the back of my mind that I could not give priority to opening a ticket to Microsoft on this and one day I will end up with an unsupported (too old) version of PBI Desktop and not being able to edit or publish my model any more.
So anyway, I will be keeping an eye on this but hopefully it is over now!
