Hi Adilson Teixeira,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

In the Power BI Service (app.powerbi.com), a work or school email address is required to sign up, as personal email addresses (like Gmail or Hotmail) are not accepted.

Here’s how you can proceed:

Use a work or school email: If you have access to one from your employer or educational institution, you can use that to sign in.

Create a Microsoft 365 account: If you don’t have a work or school email, you can sign up for a free Microsoft 365 trial https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/try. This will provide you with an organizational email that you can use to access Power BI Service.

If you’re using Power BI Desktop, there’s no need for a work or school email—you can use the tool without signing in to the Power BI Service.
