    Hi guavaq,

     

    In the end, I found out that I needed to make myself a 365 Admin of my own account

     

    took about 2.5 hours to dig through, including finding out how to get into my Gmail (petersigurdson.net) to set a TXT file in the DNS for my google domain which is hosted by GODADDY.

     

    I teach Networking. I am not sure what Microsoft's vision is for how a "regular" user is supposed to manage this.

     

    Anyway, I have my power bi pro account now --thanks! for all your advice.

    And the idea about Power BI Desktop via App Store is GREAT!  Got my learners going superbly!  Again - thanks!

     

    The power and capacity to generate detailed reports with PowerBI is awesome. I could never get students this interested in Excel. Students were climbing over each other to show their friends new data visualizations they had found.

     

    Happy Future Power BI Analysts at Pures College, Toronto!
