    hi, Anonymous 

    The application of 32 bit and 64 bit is the same but the processing performance is superior in 64 bit. At some point with large data model, (eg in the millions of rows), 32 bit will most likely stop responding. If you have a choice, I'd like to suggest you to use 64 bit version, it support more memory to use on power bi desktop.

     

    Best Regards,

    Lin
