i think to start use power bi as an visualization platform of BI,
i use alots of map and i got an esri server on my company, there is an option to connect the power bi desktop to this server?
or to use power bi with offline maps?
Not currently. This is a good idea to post to our idea.powerbi.com page.

ArcGIS Maps for Power BI is now available.

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I find it outdated compared to Power BI desktop.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.
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 just starting out with Power BI. So far it has been easy to learn. My goal is to create a dashboard like this:
https://dc-js.github.io/dc.js/
I am just wondering if someone knows an interactive power bi sample like this. Is it even possible to create such reports in power BI?
Thanks.
Yes, it is possible to create dashboards like this. See for example Power BI Embedded Playground or Microsoft Sales & Returns report (download or view in browser):
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..
Right now we are trying to implement Power BI embedded as a solution. I am wondering if there is a way to send a token, parameter, variable, etc. from Power BI to our host page. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance
