I followed tutorial in the link below to create Power BI Embedded resource.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/power-bi-embedded/power-bi-embedded-get-started
Surprisingly, it failed at step #3 - when i click the Power BI Embedded button, all I get is learn & learn links, no option to create the resource!
Anyone facing this problem?
As far as ventured to solve the problem, I got disappointed as Power BI announced in its website that Power BI service and Power BI embedded came together under a same umbrella beginning this month. So, you need at least Pro license to experience the embedded feature. Closing this as the answer, and thanks guys for all the efforts.

I am going through the tutorial and I am a bit confused about the View Tab of the Query Editor.
In the tutorial it's presented as a panel where I would be able to select "Data View" and "Schema View" like here:
When I installed the Power BI Desktop (I tried both 32 and 64 bit versions from here).
I see following items in the View Tab:
I am a bit perplexed whether I am using the same product described in the tutorial since I don't see the expected "Data view" and "Schema view" options.
The tutorial is basing snippets from the Power BI Service, as opposed to Power BI Desktop. Power BI Desktop is the downloadable software that you will use on your local machine. That being said, Power BI Service does allow users to develop reports in the Service. Development in the cloud (Power BI Service) will be very similar to development in Power BI Desktop (the local software), but there are some slight differences. Overall, I believe, Power BI Desktop has more functionality than Power BI Service when it comes to report development.
This may sound confusing, but really its pretty typical of Microsoft's app offerings. Think of Excel and Word, both of which have local software you can download and use. But they also have the minimalized functionality that exists in the cloud.
And to answer your question specifically, no, it appears that Power BI Desktop does not have those views at this time.
I'm researching Microsoft Power BI in order to see if it would be a good fit for my organization. It's important that we can use the graphs made in Power BI on an external facing web application. I've watched videos over Power BI Embedded and all I can find are the solutions that look like an iframe, like a Widget. I want the flexibility to control each component of the report, put the items where they need to get in the web page, but maintain the interactions and data between these elements. Is that possible with Power BI? Does anyone have examples of data visualizations on external facing web applications that aren't wrapped up in an iframe? Any recommended documentation?
Yes you can pick out reporting elements in a Power BI report and embedded them into a web page. The Power BI Javascript api demo, does show some examples

I am currently doing a computer science degree. As part of my industry project for my university, I am developing a BI solution for a client. Having gone though the project I'd like to develop it using Liferay. Does anyone know whether it is possible to embed Microsoft Power BI into Liferay.
The ideal scenario is that the client logs in to a Liferay portal and views power bi dashboards on the portal. Can this be done, is it possible? If so how can this be achieved?
If not what are the alternatives?
I would appreciate your help.
By the way I have to use power bi as part of the project
Well, yes, of course it's possible. What do you need to do? It depends. You can use an iframe immediately or rewrite the reports UI in a portlet. You can even write the whole administrative UI as a portlet. These options were all in increasing amounts of effort you'll have to put into it (and frankly, rewriting all of the UI would be ridiculous, I don't expect you to do this).

Options for BI to be integrated in any other applications, its API (might be: iframe, distinct media - e.g. images, JSON representations of reports etc)
The amount of seamless integration you need - e.g. is an extra click accepted? How many resources (time) do you have to implement the integration?
This was meant to be a comment, but it's too long for that.
PowerBI.com, Power BI for Office 365, or some of the on premises offers like Power View in SharePoint 2013?
For www.powerbi.com, embedding dashboards is something we're looking at. You can vote for it at the link below to keep updated when it is available.
https://support.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi/suggestions/6769940-embed-visualizations-in-an-external-webpage
For Power BI for Office 365, you can embed excel workbooks that contain Power View sheets in web pages, though if you're building an applications this may not be ideal.
Let us know more of the details you're looking for.
Appreciate your using Power BI.

I am developing a windows 8 app . The app should render the PowerBI charts and reports hosted in a sharepoint site. I need to know whether there is any way to do this. I need to know if it is possible to view the charts made by PowerBI inside a windows 8 app.
Thanks
Thanks for the question. If you'd like to do this with Power View in Office 365, there's a way to do it. You can read about it here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powerbi/archive/2014/12/11/embed-power-view-interactive-reports-in-your-blogs-and-websites.aspx
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/shishirs/archive/2014/02/13/analyzing-search-trends-using-powerbi.aspx
This works for embedding a canned report that is saved somewhere in Office 365. This probably won't work well for your Windows 8 application.
Embedding in applications is something we're looking to add in Power BI, but it's not available right now.
Please submit an idea at the link below to help us prioritize and keep you updated when we add this to the service.

I need to display content from an OLAP cube in Sharepoint. This could be done using PerformancePoint Server but unfortunately Microsoft has decided to drop support for that product some time ago. Their plan is to integrate some of the functionality directly into the next version of Sharepoint instead. The problem is that I can't wait that long and it would not be wise to base the solution on abondoned software.
How can I solve this, should I use Excel Services and/or how can I do this?
How would you solve it?
With regards
