Power BI desktop for mac URGENT!

Submitted by on ‎03-27-2025 08:56 AM

You should have a Power BI Desktop app for Mac… There are many people working within the Apple ecosystem, and yet there’s no official app for these users — myself included. Also, considering that I live in Argentina, where salaries aren’t the best… It’s not feasible to use a virtual machine to run it since virtual machine apps are expensive ($$$$).

Plus, how can I improve if I can't even use the program? And honestly, I don't use any other app like Power BI…

So, I kindly ask you to please consider this and make it possible because, from what I see, there are many Apple users who need your support.

Best regards!

100% agree. These days the Mac laptops are by far the best options for technical development, and almost everything is now natively supporting apple Silicon. To have to run Power BI desktop in a virtual machine is really slow and painful - please do prioritise this move to native Apple support - or at least Arm support which would perform better on Macs

 

BTW. I am using UTM running Windows Arm to run Power Bi - it is free and does work, but it's very slow.
