that has a report in it but not for one that contains a filter.

Hi Roberto,
Dashboard layout and sizing in PerformancePoint is very flexible. This article covers nearly all of the sizing options available, one basic dashboard page scenario and a few common questions.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/performancepoint/archive/2008/01/07/performancepoint-dashboard-sizing-explained.aspx
Please go to the last question and answer: “filters are locked to auto-sizing,
so their width will override the size of their parent zone. Minimum filter width may be adjusted in the ParameterTree.css file. See the article
Working with the Monitoring CSS Files to Adjust Settings in Deployed Dashboards on the PerformancePoint team blog for more detail.”
As a best practice, put dashboard filters in a separate zone from where you put reports and scorecards. Otherwise, items such as chart legends or reports might not be displayed correctly.

Performance Point Dashboard Designer filter and SSRS parameter problem

I've created reports in SSRS, with parameters, but can't get the filter in Performancepoint to have any affect on the SSRS parameter/reports. My SSRS reports are using shared datasets I've created, with no cubes. My SSRS parameter is text data type.
In the Dashboard Content window, I have the filter in the header, and have drug (at different times) the display value and the member unique name to the report.
In this header area (with filter), clicking the down arrow, there is no Edit Connection option. Should there be? Or would that only be to connect to a higher up filter? When clicking Create Connection, under the Items tab, 'get values from' lists header
and Date and is greyed out, I can put the report name in 'send values to', but under Connect To, there are no options. Why? And the OK button is greyed out.
In the report area, the filter name (Date) is listed underneath Connections. And right clicking the filter for this connection and clicking Edit Connection, under the Items tab, under 'get values from', it says header and Date, and under 'send values to',
zone 1 - and the report name is listed. Under the Values tab, the parameter name (DateNameParm) is listed in the Connect To, and I've tried both member unique name and display value for source value.
There's another thread on here titled "Performance Point - Dashboard Filter Not Working with SSRS Reporting Parameters" (won't let me post link), where someone here says they had to change the filter data type
from GUID, but I see no place to do this.

"Unable to find report specified by URL,Please verify that both Server URL and Report URL are correct". Performance Point Dashboard Designer (SP 2013), SSRS 2012 Report.

Hello Everybody,
I am using Sharepoint server 2013 , SQL Server 2012 SP1, PerfomancePoint and Reporting Services in SharePoint integrated mode.
I built one report in SSDTusing an Analysis Services Cube. This report has 3 parameters. So the idea is use Dashboard Designer to use this SSRS Report and connect it with some PP Filters.
The issue is that I am always obtaining "Unable to find report specified by URL,Please verify that both Server URL and Report URL are correct".
I have the following settings in the PP Report:
Server Mode: SharePoint Integrated
SharePoint Site: http://MySharrepointSite:PortNumber/sites/bicenter
Document library : Documents (selected from drop down, my report is deployed to document library)
Report : report.rdl
When I select the report from drop down list its giving the error in a pop up message box as "Unable
to find report specified by URL,Please verify that both Server URL and Report URL are correct".
I have tried to use the most simple report, only with one parameter, but is always displaying the error above.
When I open the report directly from documents library its working fine and even it is working fine (
when I deployed the report) but the issue is parameters are not showing.
Any idea? Please help.
Thanks in Advance.

"Unable to connect to the server at CALYSTO\ReportService.
Hello Tom,
It should be "ReportServer" in the URL, not "ReportService".
In "Reporting Service Configuration Manager" look up the correct URL. Open Internet Explorer with right-mouse click => "Run as Administrator" and open the URL, this should work. Navigate to "Side setting" (on top right side),
go to tab "Security" and add your account with role "System Administrator". Afterwards you should be able to open the URL without running IE as admin.

SSRS Report inserted in Performance Point Dashboard fails to display when accessing through https.

Hi,
I have a annoying issue : I created a SSRS 2008 R2 (SP Integrated) Report using report builder, I inserted it in a performance point dashboard and everything runs fine, on the SP Server. It means, when i'm accessing everything using local adress and
http protocol, it works fine. But once i'm accessing from my machine using SSL, the report is not displayed. I get first a warning asking me if I allow IE to display unsecure content, then the web part stays empty for a few second and finaly IE throws an "Internet
Explorer cannot display the webpage" in the webpart. I've been trying to put the https URL of the report in the PP Dashboard Designer but I get an unable to connect error. What is suprising me is that I do not have this issue with the report
itself, it works perfectly on the server and on clients.
Knowing that it is forbidden to connect to the server with designer tools from the clients, I'm in a dead end...
Anyone had this kind of issue?
Thanks!
Maxime

Do you generate a GUID error message with this error? I suspect the problem will be more on the access than the item itself.

Performance point dashboard slow in rendering

Hi,
we have some performancepoint dashboard deployed on SharePoint 2010. These dashboard access an olap cube and display some data from cube.
Sometimes rendering of dashboard is slow. Analyzing pages using developer dashboard we found that when rendering is slow we have a lot time spent in wcf calls to performancepoint services.
For instance we spent 30 seconds in one wcf method call to GetFilterDisplayData method.
If we run profiler in sql we don't see any query on analysis during these slow calls, so we assume there are some problems in wcf calls to PerformancePoint Service.
Also we looked to this article for applying some caching settings:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/performancepoint/archive/2010/04/16/a-general-caching-overview-for-performance-point-services-for-sharepoint-2010.aspx
Pages' filters don't contain too much data except for time filter that is a multi select tree filter that contains all days from January 2010 until today.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

lookalike MSFT know about this potential performance, i think you need WCF throttling.
WCF throttling settings
PerformancePoint Services is implemented as a WCF service. WCF limits the maximum number of concurrent calls as a service throttling behavior. Although long-running queries could hit this bottleneck, this is an
uncommon bottleneck. Monitor the WCF / Service Model performance counter calls outstanding for PerformancePoint Services and compare to the current maximum number of concurrent calls.
If needed, change the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) throttling behavior. See the WCF
service throttling behaviors (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=200612) and Wenlong Dong’s blog post on WCF Request Throttling
and Server Scalability (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=200613).

Color and styles of the performance point scorecard changing between designer and published version.

Greetings specialists!
I'm experiencing a problem with one of my scorecards. I designed the scorecard using performance point dashboard designer and used it to color the top level KPI letter white. The rest of the letters is using a dark grey, but when I use the socrecard in a
webpart in a performance point webpage all the letters appear colored in dark grey including the top level kpi letters which in the designer have been parametrised to use white.
Is it some sort of problem or known bug? It there any reason that can explain this erratic behaviour? Maybe it's inheriting the style from something else??! Any ideas clues or something I can do to help solve the problem?
Thanks in advance!

The first thing will be to determine what is overriding the colors. Follow this guide to select the object that is the wrong color and post a screenshot of the CSS styles that are being applied (in the right panel).

Business Intelligence and performance point problem

Hi Everyone,
Please does anyone know why creating a dashboard from a Sharepoint list is such a hassle. I have configured performance point services, a secure store and a business intelligent website that has a data connection library and Performance Point content
list . Unfortunately anytime I try to use dashboard designer to create a new data source and specify the site settings(using unattended account method) I can't save it. It gives me an error claiming that I either don't have permissions or the data source
doesn't exist.
A search around the web for answers doesn't seems to solve my problem as it suggests that the problem is associate with many things which I'm not clear about. Please could someone who is good at this at least tell me the critical things to check and the
clearest way to set this up.
Thanks,
Dominic

Hi Dominic,
According to your error " I either don't have permissions or the data source doesn't exist", it should be related to the unattended account permission.
Once the unattended service account has been configured, you must grant that account access to your data sources:
For SQL Server data, the account must have a SQL logon with db_datareader permissions on each database that you want to access.
For SQL Server Analysis Services data, the account must have read access to the cube or an appropriate portion of the cube, depending on your needs.
For Excel Services data, the account must have access to the Excel workbook in a SharePoint document library.
For data in a SharePoint list, the account must have read access to the list.

Performance Point - need to limit permissions to Sharepoint lists

I set up Performance Point Dashboard Designer.
And as per Microsoft's instructions, I set up an Unattended Service Account for the Performance Point Service Application.
And I gave this account read permissions under the Web Application's "User Policy".
However, this gives a user access to see all sharepoint lists when they're creating a data source.
When a user is creating a data source in Dashboard Designer, I want to limit their permissions to SharePoint lists to only what they normally have access to on the SharePoint sites.
How can I configure Performance Point service application another way , instead of using an unattended service account?
Please help!
thanks!
Also want to mention that I have Business Intelligence Centre set up as a Site Collection, and I only gave this user "Contribute" permissions, but it still gives them access to see everything in SharePoint sites when they create a data source,
which shouldn't be!!
How can I get it to reflect the same permissions that the user has in SharePoint? They shouldn't see Lists that they don't have access to.

Does anyone know how to limit permissions for Dashboard Designer??
any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

SharePoint 2013 - Dashboard Designer Connection erreur

I have put this site in my trusted site, try login on with different credential but I can't have access. I also tried the connect option into the designer option in the GUI and still can't access it.

Hi,
From the error message, please verify you have granted service account access to the content databases where PerformancePoint data will be stored.

Performance Point Services - Unable to connect to site from Dashboard designer

Recently we moved the Reports site collection from one environment to other. So the Performance point content is also copied.Now I wanted to change the report paths that were deployed using Performance point services. When I try to open the report file from
perforamnce pointcontent list it shows unexpected error. If I am trying to connect to the using Dashboard designer it says URL is not available does not reference Sharepoint Site or you do not have permissions to connect.
Pleasee see the attached file for more details.
How do the reports be fixed when they are to be deployed using Performance point services(Dashboard designer). Unfortunately we do not have the dashboard designer ddwx file with us. Its been developed by vendor and they have not given us.
How should the Dashboard reports(SSRS Report ) be moved from one environment to other.What is the best way to move the performance point dashboards from one environment to other.
Environment- Sharepoint 2010

At both site-collection level and web application level you need to enable SharePoint designer. Did you do that ?
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mcsnoiwb/archive/2010/07/01/locking-down-sharepoint-designer-2010.aspx
Opening site in SP Designer also needs WebDAV to be enabled on the web front end servers. If the problem still persists, simultaneously open up fiddler and see what's the error message you are getting. That may give you some clue to proceed

Last member based on date in Performance point Scorecard

Hello,
I have a scorecard in performance point with data parameter Month-Year. We have data for few months only like March, Aug and Dec for 2014. On my date drop down parameters, we have last 12 months Month year list. Like May 2014-Apr 2015. Now when user
select June 2014, I need to display data for March 2014 as we dont have data for June 2014. If user selects march 2015, then we need to display Dec 2014 data as we have Dec 2014 data. How can I do that in Performance point? Do I have to write logic in KPI
custom MDX or I have to write logic in connection formula in performance point dashboard? what logic I need to write?
Thank you!

Hi Satish,
Have you tried below:
Create Month1 object as =Month([Month]) and [total]as =Sum([Measure])
Then drag both Month1 and total objects in report block.

Yuvraj

Issue with Performance Point Filters and SSRS when visibility is toggled

I have a SSRS report that has the visibility toggled with the (+/-) sign. The report is SQL Server 2008 R2 / SharePoint Integrated in a SharePoint 2010 Site. The reports datasource is an Analysis Services database.
I am displaying the report in a Performance Point Dashboard and am connecting it to Performance Point filters using the member unique name. The report filters correctly when the dashboard filters change. However, when I click to expand a plus sign to toggle
the visibility, the report goes back to it's default filters of '[Dimension].[All]' and all data is returned, and the visibility is not expanded.
I have confirmed that the report visibility toggling works in BIDS and via the report that is stored in SharePoint. I have also confirmed that it works when the report is stored in the native mode report server, and integrated with Performance
Point in the same manner.
So, I 'think' I have whittled the problem down to be the combination of SharePoint Integrated and Performance Point.
Anyone have any ideas?
Jewels

Hi,
I am having a similar issue with PerformancePoint SSRS and visibility togle. Were you able to figure this out?
I have a report which calls a sub report. When I click on the report it passes parameters to sub report which works fine. But as soon as I click the visibility toggle, it goes back to default. Strange thing is that it works in PerformancePoint as a
stand alone report (sub report alone in PP). Just when it is a sub report and parameters are passed through url this issue happens.
Any suggestions are welcome. I have spent hours trying to figure this one out.

Performance Point Filter Scorecard by Time Dimension (without Time Intelligence)

Hello,
I use Performance Point 2010 and want to build a Performance Point Dashboard with Scorecard. My requirement is to provide a List of Years as a Filter for a Scorecard.
In the Scorecard I have a KPI which I want filter by Time Dimension. I can do this when I use "Time Intelligence" and "Time Intelligence Connection". But I want to use the "Member Selection Filter" to filter the Scorecard
KPIs by Years (Selected from a List).
I created a "Member Selection Filter" with certain Time Dimension and put Filter to a Dashboard. In my KPI Mapping Source I added a "new Dimension Filter" and choosed the same Time Dimension as
in the "Member Selection Filter".
When I try to connect the "Member Selection Filter" to my Scorecard, I can only choose the "Curent Date Time". As I know "Current Date Time" have to be used when Time Intelligence Filter is in use.
How I have to connect the Scorecard with the "Member Selection Filter"?
Thank you very much

Hi ShebUK,
I don't think we can achieve this requirement on the front end, but you can discuss this issue at the following forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?category=performancepointserver
I'm not familiar with PerformancePoint Services and not sure that we can implement linked dimension to achieve this. A linked dimension is one that exists in one Analysis Services database, but reused in another Analysis Services database of the same version
and compatibility level. For more information, please see:
Define Linked Dimensions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175648.aspx
Hope this helps.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply Rani .
I can not use tree option as i want dropdown for filters also everytime the page loads by default it should load all data instaed of the selected items. BTW: got some solution, we need to change the stored procedure in performance point database so that
filter value not get stored in the DB, by design the filter values get stored in PPS database.
