Converting SSRS from Native Mode to SharePoint Integrated Mode - reporting-services

I am trying to follow this article to convert an SSRS instance from Native Mode to SharePoint Integrated Mode.
I am stuck at section “Configure SSRS in SharePoint integrated mode”, step 9. As you can see by my screenshot, the option to change the Report Server Mode is disabled.
My SSRS instance is SQL Server 2012 SP1 Enterprise Edition.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Looks like a separate instance of SSRS for SharePoint is required for SQL Server 2012.

Data missing in HTML on SSDT16 and Report Builder

I'm having an issue with the soft render of a simple report in both SSDT and Report Builder environments in 2016. I'm sure there is a sample solution but I'm unable to find a solution on the web/forum.
I'm actually just using a simple tablix from AdventureworksDW2016CTP3 with a couple of fields inserted. The data might initially display but disappears after modifying the field length or switching between design and preview. More interestingly, the report views perfectly when utilising print preview and it exports to .pdf correctly... and also views correctly when deployed to the report server.
All is installed locally on my laptop with Windows 10 and Administrator privileges. I have repaired and upgraded Visual Studio and SSDT to the latest version but without any luck.
I've added images of the simple design, soft render and print preview as well as Visual Studio System Info at the bottom.
Thanks

After much testing it appears that the problem came down to my graphics driver - Intel HD Graphics 5500.
The problem still occurred after I updated the driver so I then disabled it... which solved the problem. I then reinstalled the driver and all is now working as expected.

SSRS Datasource connection to SQL Azure Data don't work from web based reports

I'm unable to generate a report from the web based interface (Report Manager). The same report in my Visual Studio project works perfectly.
The error which appear when trying to generate the report from the web is
"Cannot create a connection to data source"
The log file error is the fallowing
Cannot get edition information from catalog server.
The report data is retreived from an SQL Azure database.
How come the report can work inside my Visual Studio project but no more once deployed?
I've tried both SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2008 on fresh machines and both gives the same result.
Thanks,
After a half day of troubleshooting this issue, I discovered it was because the edition of SSRS I am using does not support Azure SQL Databases as a data source.
I am using 2008 Express Advanced Edition. It appears Standard or above is required for this.
See this article for more information:

How to integrate ssrs 2008 rdl into Visual studio 2005?

How can I integrate the SSRS 2008 Reportviewer and SSRS 2008 RDL into Visual Studio 2005 (.net 2.0)?
Is there any possibility to use SSRS Report Viewer 2008 in VS 2005(ver 2.0) either direct or using any .msi or using any other component??
Please help me....
Thanks in advance

You can use the report viewer web interface if you not running this locally by using the reporting web service. You will use the webbrowser control in your project and display the report right from the report server. This works nicely!

PowerView with SSRS

Is it required to have sharepoint server for working with PowerView in SSRS? I have SQL Server with MSBI 2012. I am BI developer. I wanted to explore with power view. I got an addon for SSRS from microsoft portal (PivotViewer Extension for Reporting Services – CTP2). But relese notes says that it needs Share Point.
I got an other link to download (Microsoft SQL Server 2012 With Power View For Multidimensional Models CTP) this is a 2 GB file and sounds like independent of sharepoint. I am confused. Please help me in understing the working of PowerView with SSRS. Many Thnaks.
Here is an ebook explaining all SSRS models available for SQL Server 2012, with walkthroughs

Sharepoint server is required for Power View in SSRS. Please check this document: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh231687.aspx
Power View also comes in Excel 2012 (see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/power-view-explore-visualize-and-present-your-data-HA102835634.aspx ). It can access data within worksheets as well as external data sources and has same visualization capabilities.
Power View is now available through Excel 2013 Professional Plus.
You can connect to external data source or use the internal PowerPivot model.
You can now use Power BI in SSRS to create a report such as 'Power View' reports.
