Missing menu in Power BI - powerbi

I installed the Reporting Services on my personal laptop. After running on the web Portal URL, I do not see the Branding menu. I'm logging with the admin user And I'm not the Power BI Desktop in setting menu I installed the Express version and my SSms edition is Standard Edition. what can I do?

Not sure of what is your current setup BUT
Setup needed :
SQL Server
Power BI Report Server (Superset of SQL Server Reporting Services)
And then on your server, the branding menu will be accesible with admin rights.

Cannot live connect to SSAS tabular but can do the import

I have installed SSAS tabular(2019) on my laptop and Power BI desktop (September 2021)
I make a project and deploy then I can see it in the SSMS when I connect to the analysis service. In power bi when I choose import I can see the model but when choosing the live connect it gives the error "The server you are trying to connect does not have any model or you don't have permission to access them".
As I search the net the result is because of the access permission. but I run the power bi as an administrator. I don't know which access is required and how I can check it.
can you please help me to solve this issue?
Perhaps you're running SSMS elevated, and you haven't added your individual account as an Analysis Services administrator.

Power BI RS web embedding in mobile web browser

We use Power BI reporting server on-premise solution. We can share reports as full screen when I add ?rs:embed=true to the end of URL published in our intranet.
I switched to Phone Layout section in PowerBI Desktop and prepared a mobile version of the report. But when I open the report in my phone's safari browser, I still see the dekstop version, not mobile.
Is mobile feature supported only on cloud version? How can I open mobile version of my reports in our on-premise reporting server solution?
I tried adding isMobile parameter like; http://companyintranet/webportal/powerbi/Reports/dashboard?rs:embed=true&isMobile=true but it didn't work.
Mobile version is supported in local Power BI Report Server, but you have to use an app to see it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/mobile/mobile-app-ssrs-kpis-mobile-on-premises-reports

Power BI Reporting Server - Portal Administrator Functionality

We've just installed the Power BI Reporting Server and we're running it in a trial based scenario. We cannot figure out how to get the Portal Administrator option to show up under the settings gear, it should be listed as Admin Portal.
Do we need to link into Office 365 to gain access to this functionality? The documentation we found only references Power BI via the Azure scenario.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-admin-portal
The documentation link provided says that,
"The admin portal is accessible to all users who are Global Admins in Office 365 or have been assigned the Power BI service administrator role."
So I think you are right, I think you need to link it with Office 365 as an Administrator or as a Power BI service Administrator.
I know this is not a Answer but a comment but I do not have the rights to comment right now.

PowerView spreadsheet throws error when displayed Sharepoint

I'm trying to access a PowerView spreadsheet in Sharepoint 2013 and I get the error below:
An error occurred while loading the model for the item or data source 'EntityDataSource'. Verify that the connection information is correct and that you have permissions to access the data source.
Here is what I have:
Server 1 - Sharepoint 2013 Server, with RS for Sharepoint Add-in installed, Analysis services feature installed
Server 2 - Contains the SQL Server installation which is used for holding the CRM 2013 databases as well as Sharepoint 2013 Config and Content databases.
I have created a Power View report in Excel 2013, using the OData
feed from my CRM 2013 organization. I saved this as .xlsx file and
uploaded to my Sharepoint site as a normal document.
I have
created an SSRS Application in Sharepoint Central Administration and
configured it to run under a service account
I have added the
following 'Servers' under my Excel Application -> Data Model settings
in Sharepoint
SQLServerName
SQLServerName\SQLInstanceName
SharepointServerName
SharepointServerName\SQLInstanceName
I have enabled the PowerView Integration Feature,
Report Server Integration Feature in my sharepoint site collection
features.
I am trying to browse to my sharepoint site and click to open the .xlsx file and I get this error.
Below is the detailed error message:
Cannot create a connection to data source 'EntityDataSource'.Microsoft.AnalysisServices.SPClient
We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.
We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.Microsoft.Office.Excel.Server.WebServicesWe cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.
This question has been asked a couple times on the SharePoint SE site.
There is an MS support article from Microsoft that addresses this error. It suggests you do the following:
In the Application Management section of the Central Administration home page, click Manage service applications.
On the Manage Service Applications page, click the Excel Services service application that you want to configure.
On the Manage Excel Services page, click Data Model.
Click Add Server.
In the Server Name box, type the name of the Analysis Services instance that you want to add.
Click OK.
If that doesn't work, someone solved this problem by installing SQL Server 2012 SP1.
Someone else solved this issue by ensuring that the account used for Excel Services is an SSAS admin and then rebooting
Thank you #mmarie for the answers/comments.
I was able to partially resolve the issue by 're-installing' the Analysis services on my Sharepoint server. So it turns out I installed it the wrong way first. Followed this article to fix it.
Analysis services for SP 2013
I'm currently experiencing problem with the 'Data Refresh' within the Power Pivot/Power View reports. I have added my service account to the '"Act as part of the operating system" role on the Sharepoint server based on this article Data Refresh, however it did not resolve the issue.
Please let me know if anyone has any inputs.

How can I enable Power View in SharePoint 2013?

I use SharePoint 2013 and Performance Point Service for create Business Intelligence report.
I need more functionality in report generate.
I found that Power View in this scenario can help me but I do not know How I can install and configure Power View in SharePoint 2013?
You can enable Power View for SharePoint by installing and configuring the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint 2013. There is a good guide for installing and configuring the BI features of SharePoint 2013 here. If you already have BI features on your SharePoint farm, here's how to configure Power View.
Basically, you need to:
Install SQL Server 2012 SP1 CTP3
Uninstall Report Services - Native if you have installed it
Install Reporting Services – SharePoint & Reporting Services Add-In for SharePoint Product
Install Analysis Services In Tabular Mode and Data Tools Install SharePoint Reporting Service
Install and Configure Power Pivot for SharePoint
Configure Performance Point Services
Configure Reporting Services
Check SharePoint Power Pivot Integration
Be aware that the data source for Power View must be a Power Pivot model, SSAS Tabular Model, or SSAS Multidimensional model (Power View for SharePoint only, must have SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU4).
