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..

I am working on power bi desktop for visualizations. I have SQL server dataset which is on my local machine. I have connected the Data using import connection mode of power bi and loaded the data set into my power bi desktop. I have installed gateway to make connection of my on premises dataset to the power bi service. I have successfully made the connection as well. But when I come to publish my reports It never gets published (taking ages to publish) and just keeps loading for hours that will get published but they never get published.
When I connect the dataset using Query mode connection the reports get published but I cannot further create calculated tables and play with measures and columns effectively.

Power BI Report Builder is not for Power BI Reporting Server. Power BI Report Builder is for Premium Capacities that support Paginated Reports, so you deploy to the service not a server.
Power BI Report Server, only supports reports built by Power BI Desktop for Report Server
You'll be able to use paginated reports with the new Power BI Premium per user license.
If you want paginated report, then installing SQL Server Reporting Services is your best option and using Report Builder, as this is the same technology as paginated reports, and what is Power BI Report Builder is based on.
Is there any way to connect Einstein analytics to some 3rd party BI applications such as powerbi? I am working on a one stop dashboard in PowerBI which should have data from multiple sources and I was wondering if I can include the einstein analytics attribution model in the same dashboard to have a one stop solution.
Unfortunately, Einstein datasets cannot be directly connected to PowerBI. Alternatively, you can connect to salesforce objects and replicate the same dataset using powerquery. There is also a catch here. When you connect salesforce object to power bi, scheduled refreshes doesn't work due to some limitations between salesforce and power bi. You would have to manually refresh from powerbi desktop and then publish your report to power bi service.
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.
