Excel Pivot (molap) will not refresh from an SSAS box that is not part of the Farm

I have spent hours trying to get this working going through many links.  One of the best ones is this.
http://whitepages.unlimitedviz.com/2010/12/connecting-to-cubes-and-external-data-with-excel-in-sharepoint/
However even after doing all of this it is still not working.  Here is my set up.  I have a sharepoint 2013.  I am trying to connect to my DW SSAS server that is on a different domain and not part of the farm.  Everything else seems to
work but excel.  I have power view connecting and creating great reports with refesh working perfect.  I have performance point working.  I have Reporting Services working.  We installed adventureworks on the local SSAS farm version and
excel is working with this and refreshed just fine.  I can ceate and excel report and save it to sharepoint but when I open it I get the famous error.
An error occurred during an attempt to establish a connection to the external data source. The following connections failed to refresh:
I can open in excel and then refresh all from excel and all works fine.  I do not want my users to have to go through this.  They should be able to use excel in sharepoint.  Any ideas on what I am missing.  I have tried to follow exactly
what the link above says but still not working.

The first article is checking to make sure power pivot is installed and local ssas is running. This could not be an issue since like I mentioned I can create a Excel report to the local farm version of ssas and it opens and refreshed fine.  That
would mean that power pivot is installed and the services are running right:)?
The second article I have done over and over and I am pretty sure this works.  Again I can export to excel and it works just fine meaning my Data source is valid right?  yes I have chosen "none" as well.
The third article talks about the different viewers.  Mine is using
xlviewer.aspx so I would assume this is not the issue. 
Here is what I am seeing in the logs but I am not sure what they are saying.  I used uls view somewhat like you would profiler. I started it tried to open excel and then stopped it.  Below are logs that look like they pertain to this action.

    - Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
    System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

    Hi ,
    There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
    However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
    I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
    Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

  • Printing directly from a mobile device that is NOT on a wifi network

    I would like to print directly from an ipad, that does not connect to a home wifi connection. 
    I have read in some forums, that the HP 6520 can create a direct ad-hoc style wifi connection that the IOS device can connect to, but this is not clearly stated in the feature set on this website. 
    Can a support admin please clarify whether printing directly from a mobile device that is NOT connected to a shared wifi network is possible?

  • My photos are not streaming from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 7.  The settings are correct and it always has before I had a recent holiday in Cuba. Those photos didn't stream and now new photos since home in Vancouver, Canada are not?

    My photos are not streaming from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 7.  The settings are correct and it always has before I had a recent holiday in Cuba. Those photos didn't stream and now new photos since home in Vancouver, Canada are not? Both are updated to IOS 7.1.2

    Hmm... It looks like they are gone forever now then. I can't think of any other way of getting them back apart from restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup. Somebody else might be able to help but I think they're gone forever. I don't know why they were wiped from your iPod but it could be something to do with security. In the future I would recommend syncing to iTunes or iCloud to prevent it from happening again. You can always make a reservation at the Genius Bar and see what those guys can do because it seems that they are still there, they are just 'hidden' from view. http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/gb/en/techsupport/

    how to transfer Ipad music NOT purchased from Apple to MacBook Air.  Answers found in the Community does not seem to deal with similar questions posted to the Community.

    You can only transfer purchases from iTunes on the iPad into iTunes on your computer. If you bought the music from another source, you need to use the source app to transfer the music, or you need a third party app to transfer the music.

  • How do I recover a file of images I removed from LR 4.3 that is not found in my desktop recycle bin?

    How do I recover a file of images I removed from LR 4.3 that is not found in my desktop recycle bin?

    I would try the following, in order
    Have your operating system search your entire hard disk(s)
    If that doesn't find the files, restore from backup
    If you don't have backups then perhaps you should consider making backups of both your catalog file and your photos from now on
    Locate, download and install and run an "undelete utility" (freeware versions are available) -- if you are going to do this, do it immediately, do not perform other tasks on your comptuer

    Why is it on the photo app is that when you add your photos to new albums and when you are deleting from camera roll it will delete photos from everywhere so therefore once your photos are in the albums you have chosen you cannot delete from camera roll

    Your photos are actually all in the Camera Roll.  The album you create only contain pointers to these pictures.  Albums are like music playlists; when you delete a song from the playlist it doesn't delete the song from your music library.  But when you delete a song from your music library it will also be deleted from any playlists that it may have been in as well.

    why do I keep getting emails saying my iTunes account will be disable in 48 hours if I do not validate my account?  or that I have to verify the email associated with my iTune acccount?

    Because someone's trying to mislead you into giving them your iTunes Store login information. Forward all such emails to [email protected] and then delete them.
    If there's an actual problem with your iTunes Store account, you'll be told at the time you try to purchase or download something.

    I have turned two computers on to home sharing. I am now on this computer wanting to put my music on to this itunes and i know i need to find the other computer in the drop down menu from " Home Sharing " but that menu isnt there on the left?

    If you have the horizontal menu bar showing (File, Edit, View,...), select View, then select Show Sidebar. 
    If the menu bar is not showing, dorp down the menu in the very upper left corner and select show menu bar, then follow steps above.
    Hope that helps.  Good luck.

  • How to Resize Dialogue Boxes that do not have Resize Controls

    Windows CS3 5.0.3
    Is there a way to increase the default size of a dialogue box that does not have re-sizing controls? Specifically the "New Page Reference" box for building an Index. The Index is becoming a little large and I'm having to do a lot of scrolling through the alpha list.

    Well, there is the dreaded (for programmers) DPI Setting in your monitor settings. It attempts to re-size dialogs, to cater for larger or smaller fonts (and the reason it is feared by programmers is that it may fail spectacularly). It may or may not influence the size of Windows dialogs in InDesign.
    But that really doesn't matter. If the dialog
    i does
    get drawn larger, that will be because the texts in it are larger. You will not suddenly have more items visible -- it's a different kind of "resize".

    I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?

    Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.
