    Hi SwaroopRoyM,

    The application is the same but the processing performance is superior in 64 bit. At some point with large data models (eg in the millions of rows), 32 bit will most likely stop responding. If you have a choice, use 64 bit. Please mark the right or helpful reply as answer. More people will find workaround easily.

    Thanks,
    Angelia

Thanks for your response.

 

Actually my doubt was, which version of Power BI is recommended? Power BI [32-bit] or Power BI [64-bit]? What are the advantages/disadvantages?

 

Thanks,

Swaroop
