Configuring PerformancePoint Service and other BI when you're on an O365 Sharepoint site

Sharepoint online is great. Easy to use. relatively stable. But I cannot find any protocol, in absence of having access to Central Administration (how I wish I did), to configure PPS and other elements I need to begin leveraging reporting and dashboards.
Does anyone know how I do this? Do I have to hand feed the steps to some CIM Sharepoint Tier engineer to execute for me? Or is there another way.

O365 does not support the traditional BI features (PerformancePoint, Excel Services with connected data sources, PowerPivot to external data sources, etc). The reasons for this are numerous (no connections back to data centers, use of claim tokens, use of
shared webapps and therefore shared app pool accounts, etc).
For several reasons, this is why MS is pushing "PowerBI", which is a separate half-answer to the whole hosted BI issue. But this is NOT the same as PPS/etc.
If you want BI, you need on-prem (or hybrid, where the BI components are on-prem).
