SharePoint BI in Windows Azure

Question

Dear all
I have setup a BI demo environment on Windows Azure to show PowerPivot, PerformancePoint Services, and Power View. The demo environment include 3 VMs: DC, SQL 2012 SP1, and SharePoint 2013.
Every demo works fine when I use IE inside SharePoint VM. Then I creat a HTTP endpoint for the SharePoint VM on Windows Azure.
Now I can use IE to browse my SharePoint site from my laptop, and PerformancePoint Services works fine.
But when I click excel workbook from PowerPivot Gallery, the Excel Services raise an error shown as below:
Unable to Open the file
We couldn't find the file you wanted.
It's possible the file was renamed, moved or deleted.
besides that, if I click the Power View icon, IE will show the following error:
Sorry,
something went wrong
The Web application at
http://xxxxx.cloudapp.net/PowerPivot%20Gallery/BI.xlsx could not be found.
Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving
existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL
mapping to the intended application.
How to solve thie problem?
Thank you.

Hi  Bird007,
According to your error message, it says the web application  could not be found. The issue can caused by alternate access mappings for the web application.
Please verify that the site works correct in a browser and double check that the server is correct registered in the AAM settings
