I just started to learn Power BI from today. I have installed Power BI Desktop from Microsoft Store in my personal laptop. I am unable to sign in as i am getting the error as " You can't sign in here with a personal account. Use your work or school account instead". I am restricted to use Power BI Desktop for my role in our organization.
I wanted to make use of this tool effectively for my learning purpose.
Could someone help me to fix this ASAP.
