When I get data from SQL Server Analysis Services database and finished designing report in Power BI desktop, in "Save As" menu, I can not see “SQL Server Reporting Services”.
Can you help me activate this important option?
I use the last version of Power BI desktop.
Thank you

I am a software developer and have basic knowledge in Power BI.
I have following concerns in Power BI Embedded which is PaaS. Can you please have a look and let me know.
I know that using powerBI Embedded, we can embed power BI reports into any web application.I want to use azure Sql DB and Power BI embedded.
Questions:
Other than accessing the embedded power bi reports via my web
application, do we have any other way where i can publish the power
bi reports similar to SSRS report server?
As app.powerbi.com is SaaS, do we have any alternative
deployment type for PaaS for deploying power bi reports which are
embedded in web application?
You can deploy the reports to Power BI Report Server installed on your server on-premise, or in a Windows VM in the cloud, and then embed them in your app. To license this Power BI Report Server you either need to buy Power BI Premium P SKU, or to buy SQL Server Enterprise with Software Assurance.
I have created an SQL database in azure portal. But there is no tools section in the overview of my DB, so as there is no query editor for me to use.
Instead i have connect with option where only visual studio is shown and not the query editor. Kindly give me a solution why no tools section and how can i get Query Editor.
I had enable(ON) the allow access to all services in the Firewall settings also.
Now, Azure SQL database supports Data explorer (preview), you could use it to query.
Note: It only show limited object. For full capability please open SSDT.
There is a Query Editor available on Azure Portal. You can find this experience by navigating to your SQL database and clicking the Tools command and then clicking Query Editor (preview), as shown on this Blog post.
I think I had a similar experience when using Firefox Quantum on a Mac - found the query editor no longer available. I tried using the new 'Data Explorer' and found the query editor window was not working (though I was able to open a query written with an external editor):

I opened Azure Portal with Chrome v.63 on my Mac, and was able to use the query editor in the Data Explorer:

About a week or so ago, when the 'Query Editor' was available through Azure Portal, I was able to type entries in the editor using Firefox.
Other options that work with Windows, Mac, and Linux machines that are provided by Microsoft to query Azure SQL databases include Visual Studio Code with the mssql extension and SQL Operations Studio. Both have continued to work throughout this time for me.
I created a report using Power BI desktop APP. Publishing the report from Desktop application doesn't publish report to PowerBI workspace in azure.
Here is report that I uploaded using Desktop app
I used this article to get my uploaded report [https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/power-bi-embedded-get-started-sample/] from my Power BI embedded but the code doesn't return any report
You can not publish a report into power bi embedded with the desktop application. The power bi desktop will publish reports into the "power bi service" not power bi embedded.
You need to use the "Provision Sample" from the application on GitHub here.
When you run the provision sample choose option 6 to "import" your pbix file into the workspace you have created in power bi embedded.
Hope this helps.
The Power BI Embedded team also recently released a Node based command line tool that will allow you to import PBIX files into your Power BI workspace collection in Azure.

npm install -g powerbi-cli
powerbi import -c <collection> -w <workspaceId> -k <accessKey> -f <file> -n [name]
Is it required to have SharePoint server for working with Power View in SSRS? I have SQL Server with MSBI 2012. My client is inclined towards using Power view. Do I need need to install SharePoint (and pay for it) to use Power view in SSRS with SQL Server 2012 ?
Short answer is yes. From Microsoft:
Power View is now a feature of Microsoft Excel 2013, and is part of
the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services add-in for Microsoft
SharePoint Server 2010 and 2013 Enterprise Editions.
And:
Power View is a browser-based Silverlight application launched from
SharePoint Server 2010
More details:

I signed up for a free 30 of Azure. I logged in, created a database. I am able to connect (=Test Connectivity). But that's it. I don't see anyway to create tables, etc. Also how can I connect this db to vb.net (I am using vs.net 2010)?
To point SSMS at the DB, simply specify the server and user name. The server name was assigned when you created the SQL Azure database "server" and has a name like .database.windows.net.
Alternatively, you can select the database you want to work with and click on "manage" in teh toolbar along the top. This will launch the "Microsoft Database Manager for SQL Azure". It used to be called "project Houston" and is essentially a silverlight app that lets you perform most basic tasks against SQL Azure.
You might want to look at the visual studio tools and training kit from Microsoft. I beleive you will find your answers there.
You can use SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio
