Power BI Desktop via the Windows App on MacOS

[Anon_460]

The Windows App was just released recently and I am having trouble finding updated information about its capabilities, including on this forum, since the release. Under the Apps tab, is it possible to access PowerBI Desktop? I'm hitting a bug through my work account, and I'm wondering if it's worth asking my admin to work through it to access PBI.

In the bigger picture, I'm just trying to find the most cost-effective method to use PBI Desktop on my Mac. I'm on Mac M3, Sonoma 14.6.1. Thank you!

Hi  - Power BI Desktop is currently unavailable natively on macOS, including on Mac M3 with Sonoma.This virtual machine software allows you to run Windows on macOS. While effective, it does have a cost (starting at $99) and requires adequate resources (at least 16 GB of RAM is recommended)​
