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.

Range Filter Mode not working and throws error in Power View (SharePoint 2013)

Hi,
I am using two filters in my power view report.
One for the contact type group and one for year.
First I select multiple contact type group for the first filter and everything works fine.
Then I try to select the year using the range filter and I get this error:

If I select List Filter mode and try to achieve this it works fine no issue but when I use range filter this weird problem occurs. Can't I select multiple values using Range Filter Mode ? Isn't that's what it is intended to do ? Is it a known bug ? Any kind
of prior experience or help would be much appreciated.

This looks like it could be a bug. You could file an issue at
http://connect.microsoft.com and include a repro. If this is blocking your business, you could also contact support services and if it is determined to be a defect in a Microsoft product, the support is free.

Cannot insert object error using Power View in Excel 2013

I created a short table in Excel 2013, positioned the cursor in the table and clicked Inset/Power View Report. I get a status window saying Excel is opening a Power View sheet but then I get a Power View error: Cannot Insert Object. I am able to insert new
tabs in the workbook. When I try the insert again, I just get the Power View error. I looked at other threads with similar issues and did the following:
Made the Formula bar visible - no change
Tried to repair Office 2013 but that option is not available when I right click on the program in the Control Panel
De-installed Silverlight - Tried to insert Power View Report. A Power View tab was created with the Power View picture and Power View ribbon. Got the message to install Silverlight and Reload. Installed Silverlight hit Reload and the Power View tab didn't
change. Hit Power View Report and got the Cannot Insert Object error message again.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Did you use PowerView first time? I notice you had found a similar thread and tested the solutions.
PowerView is an add-in in Excel2013, We must make sure that you check some option in the trust center and Add-in center.

Then you said that you couldn’t repair the Excel 2013, please refer to the following link:

Power View can only print one sheet at a time with Power BI Mobile Apps

I have PowerView for Excel 2013 on Power BI Preview. I have 2 reports sheet and 2 hidden data sheets on Excel.
I'm getting error on Mobile Application in Windows 8 RT tablet.
I should see 4 reports in preview page, but I see 2 correct reports and 2 errors.
Power View can only print one sheet at a time. Please switch to the desired sheet and try again.
Why this occurs? What should done in Excel?
Kenny_I

Thank you for reporting this issue. This is a known issue that we had fixed last week. In a few days, the updated version of the app will be available in the Windows store. At that time, your app should automatically get updated to the newest version, if
you have not changed your default settings.
If you still experience issues next week this time, please post back and perhaps share your workbook, so we can do a thorough investigation.
Thank you.

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 HTML 5 error

Hello,
We have the E3 license enabled. When we view our Power View reports online, the default view is
in Sliverlight, and there is an option on the B.R.H.S to switch to the HTML 5 view. In the HTML 5 view, we can no longer pop-out (expand individual objects).
When we share the Power View dashboard, from the generated link, the default view is in HTML 5, even when using IE. When within this view the report does not display correctly (not the same layout as in the Silverlightview) & no longer has the pop-out options
that are available when viewing in the Silverlight option.
How can we share the workbook so that it can be viewed with the Silverlight view, as is the case when we view it from One Drive, Power BI or our SharePoint team site.
Other times when I generate a share link to a workbook, when viewing the Power View sheet, it displays an Power View image with a red error circle icon.
Your help with these issues is appreciated.

"The feature Power View is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services" after installation of November CU for SharePoint

We had deployed Reporting Services / PowerPivot /Powerview for a customer and everything was tested and appeared to be working fine . However after installing the November CU we now get the following error :
"The feature Power View is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services"
Initially PowerPivot wasn't working either but that got resolved after re-installing the rssharepoint and sppowerpivot msi files. Has anyone faced this issue?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the PowerView not work after installing the November CU Updates.
I check the November CU updates, it have no affects on the PowerView or PowerPivot.
The reason for this issue may occur when the PowerPivot Service Application is not running after installing the CU updates.
Here is a detailed article for your reference:

Cannot connect to specific Cube through BI Semantic Model for Power View in SharePoint 2013

I'm trying to create a connection to an Analysis Services Cube through a BI Semantic Model connection in SharePoint 2013 to create a Power View report. I'm able to connect to other cubes on the same server, and I have SQL Server 2012 SP1 Update 9 installed
so it's not a versioning issue.
I've captured a log of two different connection attempts to show this in action. I can't post links, but just send me a message if you need it, just in case there's any interest in it. The first is a successful connection to an alternate cube
on the same server, and the second is an unsuccessful attempt that produces and error with "Internal error: An unexpected exception occurred.".
On the SharePoint side, the error is reported as:
Internal error: An unexpected exception occurred. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions.AdomdTestConnectionException: Internal error: An unexpected exception
occurred.
This cube was working the previous day, but it has since been edited and it no longer works now but there's no clear reason why. It can still be queried directly through SSMS with MDX queries, and produces no errors.
Any help is much appreciated,

Hi Ryan Myers,
According to your description, when you tried to connect to an Analysis Services Cube in SharePoint 2013 through BI Semantic Model, you get the error message: Internal error: An unexpected exception occurred. But the MDX queries works fine in SSMS.
It's hard to give you the exact reason that cause this issue based on the limited information, please validate if the connection string is correct. Besides, we can troubleshoot this issue by using the Windows Event logs and msmdsrv.log.
We can access Windows Event logs via "Administrative Tools" --> "Event Viewer". SSAS error messages will appear in the application log.
The msmdsrv.log file for the SSAS instance that can be found in \log folder of the instance. (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS11.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP\Log)

Power View in SharePoint Server - The data extension type for a data source is not valid

Hi All,
All of a sudden I am getting following error when trying to create Power View report using shared report data source (no error testing the connection):
"The current action cannot be completed. The data extension type for a data source
'http://dev/Shared Ducuments/Sales.rsds' is not valid for this operation"
I already have a data source (I had created it after creating my site collection a week ago) and when I use this source to create Power View report then there is no error but I am getting above error when I create another similar data source and use it to create
a Power View report.
Please help me to resolve the error.
Thanks

I am going nuts! I had selected 'Analysis Services' instead of 'Microsoft BI Semantic Model for Power View'

Power View for Sharepoint 2013 'Feature not available'

Hello All,
We are trying to set up Power view in Sharepoint but every time I click the power button on a report we get the "The
feature: "Power View" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services." error.
Our setup consists of two servers. One is the sharepoint 2013 Enterprise server and the other is our DW server that sits outside of the farm.
The DW Server has Sql 2012 SP1 (Enterprise) and two instances of AS, one in multi-dimensional mode and one with power pivot for SP.
We were able to get power pivot working with Sharepoint without issue but we can't seem to get Power View to work. I've read through some threads but it still doesn't seem clear what I need to do. Someone mentioned that we needed to install Sharepoint
on the DW server but we would like to avoid that if we can due to the current load on the server. Another suggestion was to install the RsSharepoint on the sharepoint server and that would enable power view.
I know there is already an RS Service app, would that needed removed as well?

Only SQL BI and SQL Enterprise have the appropriate edition of Reporting Services to enable PowerView:

You would need to uninstall SSRS using SQL Standard and re-install with BI or Enterprise on the SharePoint server.

Power view couldn't load the model or data source because the data source type is not supported

Hi,
I have SQL 2012 standard edition in my local. I have developed SSAS & deployed in local. I have been asked to develop power view report in excel 2013 using this SSAS. But when I tried to do in Excel 2013 professional Plus, I am getting below error:
Power view couldn't load the model or data source because the data source type is not supported.
Does power view is supported in standard edition of SQL or it requires Business/Enterprise edition of SQL server?
Thanks in advance

What type of SSAS install are you using?
PowerView in Excel 2013 currently only supports Tabular data sources.
Only PowerView in Sharepoint 2013 supports both Tabular and Multi-Dim data sources. (provided you have the required Sharepoint and SQL updates installed)

Power View RDLX File Format - Connect to Source in SharePoint

I am currently trying to Open (and Edit) a Power View Report which i create on Excel, on my System, and then Upload with the workbook on SharePoint.
I have followed the following Tutorial in Order to accomplish this:
Configure Excel Services data refresh - External Data Source
After doing so, i was able to succesfully open my First Sheet (Power Pivot Sheet) from the Excel Workbook which i had uploaded, i noticed something about a Trusted File Location with the Excel Service on Central Admin (SharePoint) one had to Configure, i
did that as well,
but whenever i press the Power View Sheet, i get the following Error Message:
(-Used to get this error for the PowerPivot Sheet as well, but that got fixed after solving everything as said in the Tutorial, but it still remains whenever i open the Power View Sheet)
Which basically reads:
Error while refreshing external Data
The Data Connection File used
in the Workbook
DataSource.odc
Does not provide for a
Trusted Storing Location.
Error refreshing data from
TabularModel (Basically the Connection Name of the Connection created in Excel (and afterwards exported as DataSource.odc on SharePoint)
At least one Data Connection
in this Workbook could
not be refreshed, the following
Connection could not be refreshed
TabularModel
Has anybody ever been able to Upload a Power View Report, Created on Excel, to SharePoint, and connect that to a External Datasource ?
in the MSDN Tutorial, they said this was possible through this exported .ODC Connection file, but it only work good for PowerPivot and other Excel stuff, not Power View
Thanks a lot for your Help in Advance, always deeply appreciated

Interesting. Please review this documentation and see if it helps:
