Hi @Harbs ,
You cannot directly connect with Power BI from a MAC. You do have to have parallels. AND, you have to have Power BI Desktop installed ON the parallels Virtual Machine that you have created. So, have you installed PBI on the VM? If so, what is the error you are getting from that machine when trying to connect?
