Can't even save a BI report with embedded data. Seriously?

What is with the crazy limitations?  I can't even save a BI report with embedded data to show the team a quick sample.

 

I have 2012 Standard, so my only option is MD with no live view.  It'll take me days just to setup a sample.

Sorry for the inconvenience, we are looking to support embedded models but we weren't able to get this in for the GA release. If this is for demo purposes you can install an evaluation version of SQL 2016 Analysis Services or you could create an Analysis Services DB in Azure, either option should hopefully unblock you.
