I'd like to be able to sign up with a gmail address so I can try Power BI as a student - not someone with a work email

https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/B/A/9BAEFFEF-1A68-4102-8CDF-5D28BFFE6A61/PBIDesktop_x64.msi
or sign up for free on mobile when it sends you the link, forward the link to your email and open the link using your desktop
RE: Cant sign up without work email
I am trying to teach myself Power Pivot. After upgrading to Excel 2016 Pro Plus at vast expense I cannot use it without it crashing all the time. One solution given was to install and use Power BI. But I only have a personal email account, so once more Microsoft have forgotten the home and student users (ie, the many).
RE: Cant sign up without work email
This will definitely help me. I don't have a work email, but i want to learn to use Power BI.
RE: Cant sign up without work email
Not only companies need to share BI reports /data etc. NGOs and other not for profit organizations have staff and collaborators often using their personal email and still would need to access Power BI.
I also collaborate with former colleagues (with a work email) in a large organization on projects as an external consultant and prepare Power BI reports that I can only share by sending copies of the .pbix files (that cannot be even printed!) as with my gmail account I cannot register with Power BI
RE: Cant sign up without work email
I made the same request few month ago but I can't track it??
