No more Count (distinct) : Power View in Excel 2013

Hello,
I used to create a Power View report using this field "Sport" where I choose
 Count (Distinct)
Today this option is not available in the drop down menu. What did I miss?
Thanks

Hi,
The issue may be caused the "Sport filed" is modified or it is converted from a text (non-numeric) field to a measure. It shows the "Count" option, please see the
article. We may try to remove the filed and re-add the filed to the field list.
If you want to know more about "based Power View Reports", we can download a sample with the below link and test the steps.

  • 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.

  • Power View in Excel 2013 not staying visible

    hello,
    i have only been using power view (and power query) for a little while, but noticed that when i open a workbook that has power view sheets, power view is not automatically opened. when i first open the workbook, i see a large blue square on a worksheet
    in order to use power view, i have to click on the  power view tab, then click the power view button.
    is this the way the software is suppose to work?
    if it helps, i am running office professional pro plus, excel 2013, with windows 8.1
    i don't know if this matters, but i checked to make sure that power view is installed and it is.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thank you

    hi ed and will,
    i think you guys are spying on me  -    of course, i am right-clicking on the excel icon on the task bar and selecting the workbook that i want to use. isn't that why the files are there - LOL
    okay, so i took the loooooooooooooong way, i opened excel, by clicking on the icon on the task bar. a blank workbook opened.
    then i opened the workbook that i wanted to use
    that power view window with the red circle appeared.
    i opened the add-ins screen and power view is installed/enabled.
    hmmm, if this hasn't been logged as an issue by someone else already, could there be something wrong with my workbook files or worse, my laptop.
    i don't see a frown/smile button in excel - where is it?
    this isn't looking so good.
    what do you guys think is going on?

  • Accessing Analysis Services MultiDimensional cube data with Power View in Excel

    At this point in time, does Power View in Excel have the ability to connect directly to an Analysis Services multidimensional cube?
    If not, is this functionality expected in the near future?
    davidg12

    Hi,
    As far as I known, the Power View for Excel does not support the feature yet, please see this article:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj969574.aspx
    I copied part of the article here:
    Native support for Power View            
    With this release, multidimensional models support analysis and visualization by using Power View in SharePoint mode. No special configuration of your multidimensional models is necessary. There are however some differences in how multidimensional model
    objects are displayed in Power View compared to other client tools such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Performance Point.
    This release does not support analysis and visualization of multidimensional models by using Power View in Excel 2013.

    We may use Power View for SQL Server 2014. For more detail information, please refer to the following link:

  • How to build high usability navigation for Power View on SharePoint 2013?

    I have Power View on SharePoint 2013. I have both SSAS Multidimentional and Tabular model in use.
    I have several Report.drlx file in Report libary in SharePoint.
    When I click the file, it works fine, but I feel that there are usability problems like:
    A) Getting back to SharePoint site is not intuitive. Difficult to find home.
    B) Diffucult to move between report to another. Need to return Document library.
    What is best practise for displaying several Power View reports on SharePoint?
    Kenny_I

    Hi Kenny_I,
    Just as you said, we cannot directly navigate to Home page when we view an .rdlx report in SharePoint site. We need click the Arrow to go to the previous page (Document Library), then click “Home” to navigate to Home page. If we want to move from a report
    to another report, we should still use the same way. This is by design.
    If you want to jump from one report to another report, we can add a hyperlink to a text box in a sheet or view. Personally, I understand your feeling and how frustrated when you find this issue. So, it is my pleasure to help you to reflect your recommendation
    to the proper department for their consideration. Please feel free to submit your situation on our product to the following link:

  • Query accessing SSAS cube is taking more time in power view report

    Hi,
    My SSAS server is having 16 Core's . I have created a power view in sharepoint site, which is accessing ssas cube.
    The report is taking more time to show the result.  I traced the DAX query using SQL Server profiler. When I ran this DAX query in SSAS server directly, then its taking less time but when the same query running from sharepoint server (power view) , it
    is taking more time. Number of records in the fact table is 300M . 
    Also i tracked the %process time in performance monitor, mostly the line is below 20%. I think the CPU is not fully utilized..
    Could you please help me to improve the performance of my report.
    Regards,
    Arun

    Hi Arun,
    According to your description, you create a PowerView report in SharePoint site connect to SSAS cube, the problem is that it take long time to show the result in the report, now you want to improve report performance, right?
    In your scenario, you said that it takes more time to return the result in PowerView report than run the query directly in SSMS. For a report, its run time contain retrieval data time and render report time. So it takes more time to return the result in
    PowerView report than run the query directly in SSMS. And there are 300M records in the fact table, the performance can be caused by large data. Here is a blog which describes tracks down Power View performance problems.

  • Different behavior for Power View between Excel and Power Bi Site

    Hello,
    this problem is driving me crazy...
    I have a PowerPivot Data Model and created a PowerView that includes three charts for the 
    Year, Quarter, Brand and a matrix that allow me to drill down the different projects. Each Project in the matrix can be clicked to view the project details.
    The strange thing is that in Excel on my Desktop and in the Power Bi App for Surace RT when i press the Project in the drill down the previous filters remains set, while if i do the same in Power Bi Sites the filters are lost. I tried with Chrome and IE
    but behavior the same. Am i missing something?
    Thank you so much

    Dear Will,
    thank you so much for your reply.
    I'm attaching come screenshots from Power bi site i remove the clases and the data, but you should have an idea of the scenario. Actually I'm not setting the Year and Quarter filter as view filters in the Power View.
    I'm just using Cross filtering and i realize that the behavior is different between Excel Desktop and Power Bi Surface RT app and the bi sites (with all browsers).
    First image with 2014 set (just clicked on 2014) the data on the Matrix have been deleted.
    After i select the drill down:

  • 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".

    //Used to get % from total
    IIF([Measures].[Total Count] = 0,
    NULL,

    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.

  • 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,
    Ryan

    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)

  • Conditional formatting and extensibility in Power View for SharePoint 2013 on-premises

    Good day,
    Is there a way we could apply conditional formatting in table objects, specifically at cell level (green, yellow and red) to a Power View dashboard in SharePoint 2013?
    If not, is there a way to extend Power View to support these requirements. I know that SSRS and PowerPivot provide a wide range of customization tools, unfortunately so far the only customization capabilities that I've found in Power View are themes , fonts
    and backgrounds but nothing that could allow this level of formatting. What are the available options, only SSRS and PowerPivot?
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Marcelo Estrada MCP-MCTS-MCITP-MCSA-MCSE

    Hi Marcelo,
    As you know, generally themes , fonts and backgrounds are supportted in power view, more details information:Format Power View reports
    Currently, there is no way to extend Power View to support these requirements. I recommend you to submit
    an wish at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/
    If the suggestion mentioned by customers for many times, the product team may consider to add the feature in the next SQL Server version. Your feedback is valuable for us to improve our products and increase the level of service

  • Power Map in Excel 2013

    I have recently managed to persuade my company to provide me with a standalone copy of Excel 2013 so that I can use the functionality provided by Power Map Preview for Excel 2013. This is despite the fact that the company currently standardises on Excel
    2007. I have had the product installed and activated and it also appears to recognize the Power Map Add on, however the Power Map button remain greyed out. There is nothing to suggest that this version of Excel is incompatible with Power Map Preview however
    I cannot get it to work. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. _thanks

    Hi,
    As far as I know, Power Map Preview is available in the Office Professional Plus and Office 365 Professional Plus editions, and in the standalone edition of Excel 2013.
    And make sure we have enable the Add-in. Go file tab> Options> Add-ins> Com add-ins> Check Power view.
    Then, please we need to drag a geographic field such as Country/Region, State/Province, or City to the Power View sheet or view to create a table.
    If we do not choose the filed, the map button is greyed out.
     Tip    A geographic field might be marked with a small globe icon. This identifies it as a geographic field.
    Drag a numeric field such as Sales to the table.
    On the Design tab, click Map.
    Click Enable Content to send the data to Bing for geocoding through a secured web connection.
    Power View creates a map with a dot for each value, such as each city. The size of the dot represents the value.
    To convert the dots to pie charts, add a category field to the Color box for the map.
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/excel-help/maps-in-power-view-HA103005792.aspx
    If the Power Map still does not work, please try to install the update to fix it.

  • 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:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993(v=sql.110).aspx#Reporting
    You would need to uninstall SSRS using SQL Standard and re-install with BI or Enterprise on the SharePoint server.
