As per available documentation, power bi reports and dashboards will be published to microsoft cloud. Can we configure on-premise server to host power bi reports just like SSRS reports?
Not yet, it's something we're looking at. Please use support.powerbi.com to get notified when we have that capability.

This feature was in the Idea site of Power BI and they have just rolled out a preview.

You can access the preview in the form of a Azure VM here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sqlrsteamblog/2016/10/25/announcing-a-technical-preview-of-power-bi-reports-in-sql-server-reporting-services

I'm using Power BI for Desktop, trying to learn how to connect it with Adobe Analytics. So far it seems I can only connect to Adobe Analytics through the connector that Power BI has.
Screenshot of said connector
However, the first time I logged in, I chose a sandbox organization.
Now all my subsequent connections automatically default to that org. Even after I clear the Power BI permissions.
Is there any way to change the organization?
We're currently developing Power BI dashboards using Power BI Desktop and Power BI Server for hosting. At the same time we have SSRS reports hosted on SSRS server. We now would like to add Power BI paginated reports as it has richer graphic features comparing to SSRS. So I've got questions about Power BI Reports:
For hosting, do we need to install separate Power BI Report Server or Power BI Server that currently hosts dashboards can be re-used?
For developing reports, can Power BI Desktop be used for paginated reports' creation or additional software needs to be installed?
What is file extension for paginated reports - pbix (like Power BI dashboards) or rdl (like SSRS reports)?
Can Power BI Reports be hosted by SSRS server?
Appreciate your help.
I think I can help on a few of these points:
No, you host them in a workspace and or App on your server. But you need to user Premium Per User License.
Download and install Power BI Paginated Report Builder:
PBI Report Builder
It creates RDL files.
I'm not sure but I think they should be able to as I think they both produce RDL files. Please feel free to correct.
Hope this helps.
I'm new at the Power BI.
I created dashboard on Power BI and I have published to the web
when opening the dashboard on custom URL I need to export the dashboard to excel report
can I do this in Power BI or not
I new I can to do this in Power BI web APP but I need do that in my dashboard URL
thank you
This "custom URL" that you mention makes me think that you used Publish to web. One of the limitations of this feature is that you can't export the data:
Reports using row level security.
Reports using any Live Connection data source, including Analysis Services Tabular hosted on-premises, Analysis Services Multidimensional, and Azure Analysis Services.
Reports shared to you directly or through an organizational content pack.
Reports in a group in which you are not an edit member.
"R" Visuals are not currently supported in Publish to web reports.
Exporting Data from visuals in a report, which has been published to the web.
ArcGIS Maps for Power BI visuals.
Reports containing report-level DAX measures.
Single sign-on data query models.
Secure confidential or proprietary information.
The automatic authentication capability provided with the Embed option doesn't work with the Power BI JavaScript API. For the Power BI JavaScript API, use the user owns data approach to embedding.
You can vote for this feature though.
I have been using SSRS and .Net framework to create reports for my applications.
Now I want to generate reports and create dashboards using Power BI Embedded. But the documentation/demos for Power BI always say that we need to create Power BI services on Azure. I wonder if there was any way to do this without Azure.
I referred to this link
but the answers there have no approvals/comments,please help.
You may want to take a look at Power BI Report Server. It is a super-set of SSRS, which can host Power BI reports. For more information you can start from these articles:
Power BI Report Server
What is Power BI Report Server?
Quickstart: Embed a Power BI Report Server report using an iFrame in SharePoint Server
Essentially, embedding reports with Power BI Report Server is performed by adding "rs:embed=true" parameter to the report's URL.
Look at Embedding for your Organization in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedding
Where is PowerBI being hosted. If I make a power BI report and provide a link to the report or dashboard. where is that link being referenced from?
From our Azure DB?
Is it possible to have power bi hosted in a VM? So that the links I provide to the report are directly from and referenced from the VM?
Thanks.
Power BI is currently cloud hosted by Microsoft, but it will be integrated into SSRS, so it can be hosted in-house. For details follow the SQL Server Team blog from Microsoft.
The January Blog Post announces the technical preview for download.
Picking up on your Azure DB comment, Power BI is independent from the data sources. If you were to host Power BI in-house you would have to set your Azure DB firewall to allow access from that server. Alternatively you might also migrate the database in-house as well.
