Sorry about my late reply, thank you for your advice 🙂
Hi @Red465jgnn3popj,
Based on my research, Power BI requires that you use a work, or school, email address to sign up. You cannot sign up got Power BI using email addresses provided by consumer email services or telecommunication providers. This includes outlook.com, hotmail.com, gmail.com and others. You could refer to below link:

Because you need an Organizational Account to sign in to Power BI and publish your reports to Service
Thanks for your reply.
So if I wanted to create my own personal dashboard. For example if I wanted to keep track on video game scores or something. I wouldn't be able to use it for personal use on my mobile phone, I would have to be a part of a company or college?
Technically speaking, Yes!!! You should have some Organizational Account to use it....
