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).

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.
We develop a windows application that gets deployed with a SQL Server database to client's sites. On the site they may use SQL Server Express or a better version, depending upon their data needs, most would have Express.
We would like to embed and distribute Power BI files (pbix) in to our application. The Power BI files would connect to the client's own instance of SQL Server to obtain the data. Is this possible? If so, how do we go about doing this?
Very possible to do.
Embedding Power BI reports requires either Power BI Report Server (an enhanced SSRS) or Power BI Portal services. The report is embedded in an IFRAME or other embedded web browser. (They are HTML, CSS and JavaScript.)
Licensing will be a consideration for your project. While the Power BI Desktop client is free, the Power BI Report Server and the hosting of reports from the cloud are not. The users who publish the reports will need a Power BI Pro subscription. If you are looking for a free or inexpensive embedded report solution, this is not it.

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.

How do we access/view SSRS reports in SP 2013 (On-premise) from Office 365 SP site. Both SP sites in different domains.
You need to create and publish to a Reporting Library.
Here's Microsoft's documentation on the subject.
This is just the beginning stages and if you're unaware of this there's likely a lot more configuration needed on your farm to get this operating. I would strongly suggest bringing a SharePoint Administrator on board.
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.
