Error when using PBI on Parallels Desktop

Hello,

 

I'm getting an error for my visuals - An unexpected error occurred (file", line , function ") - see screenshot below.

How can I resolve this? I'm using a Macbook Pro M4 Pro and couldn't afford a new windows laptop for this.

 

Please help.

Hi, you may refer to below posts, It could be a version bug or some corrupted relationship/column definition. I don't think this is related to your computer system.

Your Power BI visuals are erroring out on Parallels because of ARM compatibility issues.
Fix it by installing the 32-bit version of Power BI Desktop, which works better on M4 Macs.
Avoid visuals with Date fields or use Power BI Web to bypass local rendering issues.
