Using Power BI With Excel

Post by richlocus »

Hello:

I downloaded Power BI with the intention of creating the graphic options that it supports.
Unfortunately, installation requires a non-personal login (a school or organization). I even tried logging in with my Office 365 account with 5 users and my Outlook account. It still complained that it was a personal account (not a developer account).

Rather than going through the process of getting a developer account, can I use the Power BI desktop functionality without logging in? If I can't, then it really isn't a good tool for me. I was hoping to provide my clients with the many graphic options that Power BI delivers.

Thanks,
Rich
