Hi Jamie,

First is without preview enabled, second is with preview enabled. Notice the 'metro-style' branding on the latter.

You can switch back and forth here:

Hi Jamie, I assume that the data behind the Power View Report resides in PowerPivot. As you probably know PowerPivot is fully In-Memory and therefore it is understandable that PowerPivot is not supported in SkyDrive and therefore the Report cant't refresh/Display the data. The MS Datacenter would need tons of Memory if everybody could load up and view PowerPivot based Reports... (which bis the case for Power View Reports) Maybe MS is planning to support this in the near future as it looks like that Power View is already enabled. Anyhow - I assume we will see some strict limitations in terms of the PowerPivot model size - otherwise it will blow up the datacenter.

According to this microsoft link for whats new in excel 2013 power view will not be supported by sky drive.

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/whats-new-in-power-view-in-excel-2013-and-in-sharepoint-2013-HA102901475.aspx

When you create Power View sheets in Excel, you can view and interact with them on-premises in Excel Services, and in Office 365. You can only edit Power View sheets in Excel 2013 on a client computer.

On-premises, Power View isn’t supported on Excel Web App. In Office 2013, administrators can choose whether users view files with Excel Services or Excel Web App. If the administrator chooses to view workbooks with Excel Web App, you can’t view Power View sheets when viewing Excel workbooks in the browser.

In Office 365, you view Power View sheets with Excel Web App Data Center, part of SharePoint Online, rather than with Excel Services.

Notes

Power View sheets can’t be viewed on SkyDrive.

If you save an Excel workbook with Power View sheets to a PowerPivot Gallery, the Power View sheets in the workbook won’t be displayed in the Gallery, but they are still in the file. You’ll see them when you open the workbook.
