title: How to use Power BI Desktop without uploading data into its cloud
body: <p>I want to use Power BI Desktop within my MVC application. All I could find about this is coupled with uploading the data<a href="https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-a-new-power-api-asp-net-web-sample/"> [1]</a>,<a href="https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-power-bi-publish-to-web/"> [2]</a> into a cloud but that is not an option for me since I am working with sensible company data. Is there any workaround you know off?</p>
  
  <p>And if not so are there any alternatives?</p>
