I want to know if I can sign up for a POwer BI Free option without a office 365 user id

I want to know if I can sing up for a free POwer BI option without having a Office 365 user id and log-in.

When I attempt to sign up , it keeps saying you are already signed up and asks for  Office 365 login credentials. 

Also is it possible sing-up for PowerBi Pro without a office 365 credentials.

Please help.

Hi @CheenuSing,

Yes, you can sign up but what most likely is happening here is that the email you're using is already associated with an O365 account and therefore defauting to that option. If that is not working you should contact your IT department to find out why Power BI is not working when trying to sign up.

Another option is to use another email address not associated with O365.

Last but not least, you do not need an O365 account for Power BI Pro, but the they work better together, especially for collaboration purposes.
