There seem to be 3 tools to create and publish Power BI reports.
Power BI Report Builder
Report Builder
Power BI Desktop
Power BI Desktop (RS)
What is the use case of these 4 different tools? Is one the subset of the other? Does one support more features than the other?
Power BI Report Builder is a tool for authoring paginated reports that you can publish to the Power BI service.
Report builder is a standalone tool to design reports for SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
Power BI Desktop is used to build Power BI reports, which you can publish to Power BI Service.
Power BI Desktop for Power BI Report Server is used to build Power BI reports, which you can publish to Power BI Report Server.
No, they are not subsets. You can say that Power BI Report Server is a superset, or successor of SSRS, which along with SSRS (.rdl) reports can render Power BI reports (.pbix) too.
1.Power BI report builder is for paginated reports .
2.Report builder is the old SSRS. It is used to create static reports .
I find it outdated compared to Power BI desktop. Also it is hard to find videos /tutorials if you are new. Moreover if you are going to use large datasets, you will realise that it is slow.
3.Power BI desktop is used to build real time reports which you can publish/share to Power BI service.
4.Power BI for Power BI report Server is used to build your reports and publish them to Power BI report Server.
After exporting report in PDF format from Power BI desktop, it is showing only visible area data but not the complete table data which was available and visible after scroll down in Power BI Desktop report page.
I have generated the report in PDF format with complete data using below steps:
Prepared the Datasource using Power BI Desktop application and pushed it to Power BI Services in my workspace there.
Accessed the datasource from Power BI Services using Power BI report biulder and converted it to Dataset in Power BI report builder.
Got the DAX query from Power BI desktop application for same datasource to get the report from Power BI paginated report builder.

You can analyze statistics of user activities using the Power BI Activity log. You can download the activities by using a REST API or PowerShell cmdlet. You can also filter the activity data by date range, user, and activity type. In order to be able to do this, you should be a Power BI Service Admin. You have to install the Power BI Management cmdlets locally or use the Power BI Management cmdlets in Azure Cloud Shell.
You will find more details here : https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/the-power-bi-activity-log-makes-it-easy-to-download-activity-data-for-custom-usage-reporting/
I am using Sharepoint List and OData Feed for my Power BI reports using import. What I want to accomplish is that my power bi desktop to get updated data and publish to power bi service even if I'm not around. Is it possible? I have a colleague who can refresh it for me but the logic is that he'll be creating a new power bi project service (I think).
You cannot schedule a report to refresh in Power BI Desktop, you have to do it via a manual process.
You will need to publish the report to the Power BI Service, you can then set a refresh schedule there and the report will refresh automatically from your data source. You will not have to recreate the report or upload it again one it is there.
First publish your Power BI desktop to Power BI Services, which will enable auto refresh.
Power BI has direct connectors for SharePoint so you can set schedule auto refresh. And for connecting SharePoint OnPrem you can use Data connectors.
I have Power BI report server setup in my on-premise environment. Here I am trying to connect to the PowerBI report server (on-premise) via the Excel sheet add-in (Power BI publisher for Excel).
I followed the below mentioned article :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/publisher-for-excel
But in this case I am not able to connect to the on premise PowerBI report server. It is always connecting me with the cloud version of PowerBI.
Can any one help me to know how to fix this issue?
Currently PowerBI addon - publisher-for-excel only Support for PowerBI services not for desktop/On-premises/Report servers.
As it mentioned in the description that When you pin an element from Excel, a new tile is added to a new or existing dashboard in Power BI,
In our case the dashboard feature it-self would not be available in Power BI report server. Eventually, publisher for excel would not be in the consideration with Power BI Report server. For full features list..
