Display Power Pivot Gallery on a page?

Using SharePoint 2013, I am trying to put the Gallery view of a power pivot gallery on a web page. I would like to do this so that I can have a couple of other web parts displayed on the same web
page. Thinking this would be pretty straight forward, I tried the following:
Use the list view web part to display the gallery view of the library. This didn't work, it just displays the list as if it were a standard document library. No Siverlight control was
rendered.
Copy the Gallery.aspx file from the library. Give a new name. My initial try of this looked hopeful but even though the SiverLight control rendered, no content was displayed.
Obviously, this isn't something that is supported out of the box. I'm wondering if anyone has done this and wouldn't mind sharing the steps.

Hi Matt,
For this issue, I'm trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at it.
Thanks,
Eric

Is it Possible to Add a Power Pivot Gallery App in Office 365

Hi,
I had created a site collection by using Business Intelligence center Template in Office 365(E3 Subscription).
But I am not able to see Power Pivot Gallery App to Add.
I tried to find and activate any feature depends on this. But could not find any
Is there any way to Add?
Thanks in Advance...

Power BI is the o365 equivalent of the power pivot gallery in on-premises sp.
It's an extra opt-in addon (more $) to the regular o365 subscription -

Don't believe it's possible to add a powerpivot gallery app to o365, but might be better to ask @ the o365 forums.

Can't save power pivot report back to power pivot gallery...file is read only

Hi eb
I have developed an excel pivot report in a power pivot gallery (all in 2013).
Next time i open that report from the power pivot gallery and attempt to save it again to the gallery
I am blocked with a msg: we cant save http://........./powerpivot gallery/myPwerPvt.xslx file is read only.
To keep your changes you'll need to save the woorkbook with a new name or different location.
Please help!
TIA
Rea

Hi Rea,
When you try to edit the PowerPivot workbook, are you open it as read-only mode? Please see the screenshot below:
The "Read Only" mode will not be able to save any changes to the workbook you are loading.
In addition, is it work for you while you save the PowerPivot workbook with a new name?

Does Power BI has similar feature as Power Pivot Gallery in SharePoint 2013?

Hi,
I have a data model in an Excel file, and I would like to publish it to the Power Pivot Gallery, so other people can connect to the data model in their workbooks and create their own visualizations. How do you achieve this in Power BI?
Thanks, Hilda

Is it possible that you have imported data from SQL Server into an Excel worksheet and then created a Power Pivot model from that data rather than importing the data directly from SQL Server into Power Pivot?
In the PowerPivot designer, click the Existing Connections button on the Home ribbon to verify the source of data for each table in your model.

To create a Power View report, start Power View from a
data model file in SharePoint Server 2010 or 2013. Models, or connections to models, can be in a SharePoint Server document library or in a
Power Pivot Gallery, a special purpose SharePoint Server document library that provides rich preview and document management for published Microsoft Excel workbooks that contain data models.

Does SharePoint 2013 have Power Query services similar to Power Pivot and Power View?

Does SharePoint 2013 include services to host/support Power Query content similar to the way it hosts Power Pivot content in the Power Pivot Gallery?

Miguel. Is there an update to this? New information or new timeline?
We have SP 2013 Enterprise, on-prem. I'm finding that Power Query 's ability to get CSV or XML or other Web Services content, and then load it up to PowerPivot, is a way to address the lack of ODATA connectivity options on the web. :-(
I would very much like to be able to create an XLS doc, with a Power Query to a CSV file, Loaded to PowerPivot, and have SP's Excel Services/PowerPivot engine continue to update the content for me. It fails today, as you stated above.
Do you even think this will be updated for the on-prem version of SharePoint 2013 or will it only live in Power BI for Office 365?

Is Power Pivot Gallary available in Sharepoint Online?

Dear Sir/Madam,
We would like to know whether the Power Pivot gallery is available in SharePoint Online. Please advise. Thanks.

Power Pivot 2013 Using SharePoint 2013 List as Source Data

Background: On a SharePoint 2013 site, there are lists that have the exact same columns but due to their size I had to create a different list for each year.
These are essentially my data lists or tables that end users enter data into. These lists have look up columns in them, referencing columns from look up lists or tables located on the same site.
Goals:
1) Create a Power Pivot Gallery on SharePoint 2013 that is able to leverage the "manage data refresh" feature using the SharePoint 2013 List data that is on the same SharePoint 2013 site.
2) Combine all the data lists/tables into one table once in Power Pivot 2013. The Look Up lists/tables will remain separate.
Challenge: Being able to merge or do a union query to the "data lists" and still maintain the ability to leverage the "manage data refresh" feature.
This is a tactical, quick fix solution, and I
cannot use SQL Server and am operating under the assumption that I do not have Access Services 2013 as an option.
Failed Attempt #1: What I already tried was linking the lists to an Access 2013 database and did a Union query from Power Pivot which merged the data from the different data tables
as I wanted it to. Then I uploaded that Access Database to a document library on that same site, thinking that I could maintain the ability to leverage the "manage data refresh" feature but I was wrong.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers, Johnny
Johnny

You can connect to SharePoint Lists using Power Query (and of course Union multiple Lists and more using Pwer Query) - but Automatic refresh would not work with SharePoint. Power BI (Cloud service) allows auto refresh of Power Query, but not on SharePoint.
Hopefully some day soon.

How to make a report to display next 18 months of data with when user select a particular month from the filter in power pivot tabular model.

Hi,
i have a dimension table with month_key having values (201201,201202,201203.......202011,202012) and month name ( Jan 12, feb 12,......NOV 20, Dec 20) and a fact table with columns (month_key ,measure_types, Amount)
My requirement is to create a power pivot report in which when a user select a month from the filter, the report should display the (selected month+18 ) month's data against each type . when JAN 12 is selected ,the jan 2012 +18 = june 2013
, month name should be populated with months till june 2013 only .
i tried creating calculated column"END DATE " in the fact table with dax expression to calculate the 18th monh from the current month as below
month_key END DATE
201201       201306
201202       201307
and thought of filtering the table with month key <= ENDDATE but it is not working as expected. could you please guide me on this ? Is there any time intelligence function that serve the purpose . Iam using excel 2010
..hence could not do any calculation on the report side also. please suggest .
Thanks in advance

Do you need to show the measure calculated for those 18 months as a total on 1 row, or do you need to select a single month and then display on row filters 18 distinct rows?
The first is trivial as driezl has suggested.
The second will require a second calendar table.
I created this example workbook for a coworker who had a similar problem. You will have to use the disconnected table as your filter and pull your related table onto the rows.
Finally, the easiest way to deal with the sort of date arithmetic you need to do is to restructure your date table to have a series of "Sequential" fields. These fields should be the number of units of time since the beginning of your calendar.
For example, consider a calendar starting on January 1, 2010. For January - December 2010, [MonthSequential] = 1, 2, ..., 12. For January - December 2011, [MonthSequential] = 13, 14, ..., 24, and so on, incrementing by 1 for each sequential month in time.
Assuming you have this set up in your date tables (one related to your model - DimDate - and one disconnected - DisconDimDate) your measure would look like this:
18 Month Measure:=
CALCULATE( [Measure]
, FILTER( DimDate
, DimDate[MonthSequential] >= MAX( DisconDimDate[MonthSequential] )
&& DimDate[MonthSequential] <= MAX( DisconDimDate[MonthSequential] ) + 18
Please review this example along with the workbook I have linked above.

Power Pivot Field list in not displayed in Power Pivot-Ribbon / Missing Power View-Ribbon

Hi
I've got the following probem, when I add a Pivot Table from inside the Power Pivot Data Model I only get the ordinary Pivottable Field list.
When I look into the Power Pivot Ribbon there is
no 'Field list' inside the ribbon. Not even a disabled one (grey) is visible.
And there's another problem, I miss the Power View-Ribbon, there is nothing available in the ribbon, although the Power View-AddIn is activated.
My configuration
Windows 7 - 64 bit
Office 2010 - 32 bit incl. Power Pivot - everything with Power Pivot works fine
Excel 2013 - 32 bit incl. Power Pivot - here's the missing Power Pivot Field list / Power View-Ribbon
Does anyone has an idea for a solution? Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Joerg

There is no ribbon for Power View in Excel 2013, you need to go to INSERT tab > Power View Reports. Once you insert a Power View Report, you will see the Power View tab.
To answer your first question about PowerPivot, It is called PivotTabel Field List and it is not under PowerPivot tab, once you click on PivotTable, you should see at the top PIVOTTABLE TOOLS with Analyze and Design tabs.
HTH!
