How can I check out Power BI?

  • Article

If you want to check out the entire Office 365-hosted incarnation of Power BI, you can register to get in the queue for the preview now at https://office.com/powerbi. Microsoft will start churning through the queue in about four weeks. In the meantime, you are more than welcome to install the components you'll need on your machine to make it all work:

You can grab Power Query and Power Map from this location: https://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/power-bi-download-add-in-FX104087144.aspx. Note that the Power Map add-in still uses the old "GeoFlow" code name as of this writing.

You can, of course, get Power Pivot from https://www.powerpivot.com if you are running Office 2010 at present.
