Dynamic Security - Power View Cabable of ?

Hi there,
i am currently trying to create some Dashboard Reports using Power View for all Employees.
But i can't allow for any Users being able to see the Data of the other.
Is Power View capable of Determining which user is logged on and give that to my Tabular Project, so it can filter the data through the Dynamic Security implemented in the Tabular Model?

Yes, Power View will work with the tabular model dynamic security. Power View does not do anything special, security is applied by the model.

Power View with dynamic connection string, but server-side

We'd like to evaluate using Power View to provide exploratory BI over data output from HDInsight, onto Azure Storage. We need to let users select which segments of data to load but through a web-ui (not Excel on the desktop). We expect to have a standard
data model, it's just the segments of data that will be dynamically selected by the user. Basically the Power Query will need to be updated dynamically, but on the server-side. Is this scenario currently possible?

Any suggestions for SFiorito?
Thanks!

Power View Reports Dynamic filter

Greetings Everyone !
I have a requirement to create a trend chart to show trend for last six months. So on trend chart, it should reflect previous 6 months (i.e. Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec) and value against each month.
Problem:
I am using Power view in SharePoint (for multidimensional model) to create this report from SSAS (SQL 2012 SP1) and it doesn't support any custom MDX query to filter data.
Please help if you have any solution for this.
Best Regards,

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add alert and subscription for the power view report in sharepoint 2013.
You need to Additional Configuration to provision for subscriptions and alerts when you install Reporting Services SharePoint Mode for SharePoint 2013.
The Reporting Services subscription and data alert features may require the configuration of SQL Server Agent permissions. For more information, see
Provision Subscriptions and Alerts for SSRS Service Applications
PerformancePoint Services is a SharePoint Server 2013 service application. It enables users to create business intelligence (BI) dashboards that provide insight into an organization's performance. You can create custom reports, filters, tabular data sources,
and scorecard transforms to extend the native functionality of PerformancePoint Services.
Power View in SharePoint is browser-based Silverlight application, a feature of the SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP 1) Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and 2013. Creating, opening, and saving Power View reports (RDLX files)
all take place in SharePoint Server 2010 and 2013.

Issues in persisting dynamic entity and view objects using MDS

Hi All,
I'm trying to create dynamic entity and view objects per user session and to persist these objects throughout the session, I'm trying to use MDS configurations(either file or Database) in adf-config.xml.
I'm facing following two errors while trying to run the app module:
1. MDS error (MetadataNotFoundException): MDS-00013: no metadata found for metadata object "/model/DynamicEntityGenModuleOperations.xml"
2. oracle.mds.exception.ReadOnlyStoreException: MDS-01273: The operation on the resource /sessiondef/dynamic/DynamicDeptEntityDef.xml failed because source metadata store mapped to the namespace / DEFAULT is read only.
I've gone through the following links which talks about the cause of the issue, but still can't figure out the issue in the code or the config file. Please help if, someone has faced a similar issue.

Hi Frank,
I m trying to save entity and view object xml by calling writeXMLContents() and saveXMLContents() so that these objects can be retrieved using the xmls later on.
These methods internally use MDS configuration in adf-config.xml, which is creating the issue.
Please share your thoughts on resolving this or if, there is any other way of creating dynamic entity/view objects for db tables created at runtime.

Error trying to create a Power View report against a Multi Dimensional SSAS cube

Hi all,
We have installed the Power View For Multidimensional Models CTP, released last November 27 on our Analysis Server instances. I am now trying to create a Power View report in SharePoint that is connected to a Multi-Dimensional cube.
I have followed the instructions diligently:
1. Install the CTP
2. Created a data connection of type "Microsoft BI Semantic Model for Power View" (see attachment #1)
3. Tested that the connection was valid (all is good here!)
I then select the "Create Power View Report" option from the data connection that I created above.
The Power View GUI appears, and then throws an error:
Error text:
"An error occurred while loading the model for the item or data source 'http://server/site/SalesVarianceAnalysis_MDX.rsds'. Verify that the connection information is correct and that you have permissions to access the data source."

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Kenny_I

Hi Kenny_I,
As per my understanding, I think this issue may be caused by your colleague has no permission to access to data source 'EntityDataSource', it is a Kerberos issue. When report server uses ‘Windows authentication (integrated) or SharePoint user’ as the credentials
to access the data source 'EntityDataSource', the authentication would be failed. So we should try to check if the issue is in this scenario. If in this case, we should change the credentials to stored credentials.
Besides, if we don’t configure C2WTS Service Account to use Local System, it needs the following local policy rights:
Act as part of the operating system.
Impersonate a client after authentication.
Log on as a service.
For more details, please refer to the following blog:
http://www.codeovereasy.com/2014/01/powerview-report-fails-no-credentials-are-available-in-the-security-package/
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Power View stuck in loading forever in SharePoint

Hi, we have just configured a new SharePoint instance. We've installed and configured PowerPivot, SSRS SharePoint mode, Excel Services, Performance Point Services, and Silverlight. We uploaded a workbook to a BI site. The workbook contains both standard
Excel sheets and Power View sheets. The standard Excel sheets can render without any problems. But the Power View sheets are stuck in loading. All I see is this loading circle:
There's no error message, and nothing stands out in the logs. We're indeed not sure what's going on. Since there's a loading circle, we assume SSRS is working? Does anyone have ideas? Thanks.
Shining Oh Blue Star

The post on
http://blog.qumsieh.ca/2013/08/19/ssas-sharepoint-2013-we-cannot-locate-a-server-to-load-the-workbook-data-model/ helped us to solve the issue. Basically, several ports on the SSAS server need to be exposed through firewall. These include:
SSAS PowerPivot port: 2382
Standard SSAS port: 2383 (may not be definitely necessary if you only use PowerPivot)
And also, the trickest part: A dynamic port that seems to be different on each installation. In the blog author's case, it was 49165. In our case, it was 62578. To find the port, use Power Query (or another query tool) to load SharePoint's
ULS log, and filter Category to see Data Model only. You'll see the port number in one of the logs which begins with "Uncaught CLR exception crossing the Interop boundary".
I take the problem as solved. But hopefully Microsoft can give us more information on why a dynamic port needs to be opened in firewall, and why it is so difficult to track down the root cause...

MDX not working in Power View on sharepoint 2013

I have this MDX statement below that should be able to dynamically give me a % of total for any dimension. IN power View (sharepoint 2013)
I am getting an error. It works in Excel and works in the AS browser but will not seem to work in power view. Any ideas on how to rewrite it so that it may work. I am surprised I cannot find anything on this online about this issue.
When you highlight the "#ERROR!" in Power view it gives a long description of
"The Axis Function was indirectly referenced from the context of a statement other than SELECT. Evaluations of Expressions involving this function succeed only
when indirectly triggered by a SELECT statement".
CREATEMEMBERCURRENTCUBE.MEASURES.[Percent

//Used to get % from total

NULL,
IIF(isempty( ([Measures].[Total Count],

1).Dimension.CurrentMember.Parent

Axis(1)(0)(
Axis(1)(0).Count-
1 ).Dimension.CurrentMember.Parent))),

Hey Mike, Thank you very much for the answer. Just need a little more help please???
I have added two separate MDX statements that should get the individual % for these two separate dimensions.
1. First does it look correct from what your saying individually. Would you write it different?
2. Next can you show me the MDX that would combine them into 1 measure. Once I can see how these two get combined into 1 measure I should be able to do this for the rest of the dimensions.
3. Will Power View ever allow Axis function? Just seems strange that it works in Excel Pivot but not in Power View.

Power View filters, able to save individual preferences?

Hi,
We currently have a PowerView report which uses the SSAS tabular datamodel as the datasource. This report contains metrics across many teams, and by default, shows the summary metrics across all teams. I've setup filters in the PowerView so managers
can go in and filter for their specific team. Now my question is, can managers save their individual prefences while not affecting the report for others? So for example, Melinda wants to see the metrics for team A so she filters for team A and saves the file.
The next time Melinda opens the report, it shows the metrics for team A. But Bill comes along later and opens the same report and sees the default metrics (ie. non-team A specific).
Is this possible without saving multiple copies of the same report?
Thanks,
Carter

Great suggestion! This feature is not yet available in Power View at this time. One way to mostly achieve the behavior you are looking for is to implement row level security on the model. With row level security, you can filter the data to the individual
users before it gets to Power View.

Hi Kenny_I,
Based on the error message, the issue may be caused by the incorrect configuration of Claims to Windows Token Service (C2WTS). The C2WTS is required because the communication between the web front-end (WFE) and the Reporting Services shared service will
always be Claims authentication.
The domain account used by the Claims to Windows Token Service needs to be granted the following rights through the Local Security Policy:
Act as part of the operating system
Impersonate a client after authentication
Log on as a service
We can find these settings under Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment. And we should add the service account to the local Administrators Groups ahead.
For more information, please see the following links:

Dynamic Security Tabular Model : No filters are applied

Hi, I am surprise because when I open my PowerPivot report on my Bi portal on Sharepoint 2013, no filter are applied, Dynamic Security not work,
unless I do a refresh of my report. When I refresh my report, with an other windows account, all the filter determined in the tabular data model, at the level of Role.
I use the User Authentification option at the level of my report PowerPivot.
Can you help to understand this bug and help me to resolve it.
Thanks for advance.

Hi,
I am not quite sure about your scenario. Are you using Power Pivot or SSAS Tabular?
Power Pivot itself does not have any security features so I guess you are talking about SSAS Tabular right?
Or are you moving data from SSAS Tabular into Power Pivot?
In this case if you you refresh the workbook a Service Account will be used and of course the securtiy settings will be derived from the credentials of this service which may be allowed to see all data

Error initializing Power View

Dear Sir,
When I try to create a Power View report based on a data model, I receive an error message "Activate message of OLEObject falied". Can you help to fix it? Thanks!
Regards,
Nuno

Hi Nuno,
Did you get this working? If not, make sure you have the latest updates for Office and the latest version of Silverlight installed. There was a security GDR for Silverlight a while back that blocks previous versions from working and that might be your issue.

Is there any plan to make Power View (charts and report) more customizable?

Hi,
I just was playing with Power tool chain in Excel and office 365, this a nice product well down.
I have a question about the whole idea, is there any plan to make charts more customizable for example user will be able to show the current filter value in the chart or view title (is good while drill downing) or some simple stuff like showing the
pie value not in tool bar but indicators in the chart itself or changing the type of chart while drilling down (start with a column chart then drill to a pie chart) or...
Or more generally some programming framework to customize Power View , for example some programming framework (writing add-in for an add-in :-))?!!
thx

Hi,
-Yes simply the option to add the drill filters' value on the chart title (not just in the filter panel).
- Yes, exactly. Showing labels On Pie Charts,
Also about changing chart's type, I meant somehow be able to change the chart while drill downing (when you go down you can preset chart type for next level)
- The ability of connecting views to each-other (something like linking views and sending filters or other expressions/parameters from one view to the second view
based on users actions like drill downing)
- Also more generally about API/framework (and quite hard to achieve maybe), the possibility to add some dynamic functionality like changing the color, show some dialog/ change the view navigation based
on the user interactions or add custom themes (maybe CSS) (UI
customization ) , the ability to call other data sources and change the report dynamically
Generally be able to add custom codes in the javascript/Html5 result report ( some )
Also ability to add custom controls
in designer part (and adding its client side behavior too ) something like Custom Report Item (CRI) in Reporting Service.
Br,

Power view in SharePoint - Changing the default save location?

Is it possible to change the default location when saving Power view back into SharePoint?
Our users are creating their own power view reports by clicking a power view shared data source in SharePoint document library.
When saving their reports, the default location is always the same location where the data source is. This is described here also:
https://support.office.microsoft.com/en-us/article/Power-View-in-SharePoint-Server-Create-save-and-print-reports-f616575e-02bf-46cd-b94a-b744245ef9d1?CorrelationId=a852221e-b063-4020-a20a-53d8e8fb8b8b&ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
Quote from the link: "The first time you save the
report, the default location will be the folder where the model is located."
Ok, understood. But is it possible to change this???

Hi again
Ouch! Not the network!
One of the hard learned issues that folks are unaware of until they encounter problems is that Captivate does not do well when a project is stored on a network. It's fine to keep projects there in order to back them up or as a transfer pivot location to allow others to edit, but you never want to open Captivate, click File > Open and browse to a network location to open a project for editing.
Best practice at this point is to keep projects on your local C drive when you make edits.
Cheers... Rick
