Hello @FatimaZahra 

 

Please make sure you are Using a Valid School Email
• Power BI only accepts work/school accounts (e.g., `@university.edu`). Personal emails (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) are blocked

 

 

Some institutions disable self-service sign-ups. Contact your school’s IT department to confirm

 

Clear browser cache or try incognito mode

If your school email is tied to a personal Microsoft account:
• Create a new `onmicrosoft.com` account via Microsoft 365 Trial

if this is helpful please accept the answer
