PowerPivot KPIs
You can connect to Excel instead of importing it. WHen you do that, you can render the workbook in full fidelity including your KPIs.

Thanks for the input.
I tried the proposed approach - got data from a connected Excel file with PowerPivots and KPIs there. When I try to view/edit the file from PowerBI, the file is opened in Excel Online and there KPIs are rendered. This however is not what I would like to achieve - to be able to use the new visuals in PowerBI together with the KPIs from the Excel PowerPivots.
The service does not yet render Excel in high fidelity for me as well. However, Microsoft did go on record that this feature is coming and at some point we will be able to pin Excel charts to dashboards the same way we can Power View charts. (Although I don’t know if Desktop/Service charts can still be technically called Power View or whether there is a new name for this visualization technology)
Today is now September 20, 2015 - almost 2 moths after launch - any updates to both full fidelity rendering of Excel and KPIs?
