Power View in SharePoint only shows current year.

I have a customer using the Power View add in for SharePoint 2013 based on SQL 2014. I have created a BISM object that connects directly to an OLAP cube.
When I build reports or Pivot tables against this object they work fine. However when I build dashboards in Power View they only show the current year's data
We do have a default date dimension which forces for some reason Power View to only display current year. Therefore the slider doesn’t work since it has only current year / date showing up.
After removing the date dimension in one of our dev. cubes, Power View showed all dates and we were even able to uses the date animation with slider worked fine.
We don't want to do this in production however, because many of our reports rely on the default date dimension.
Has anyone come across this or know a workaround?

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

List View in ios8 on iPhone only shows 1 year

List view in ios8 on iPhone only shows 1 year. Earlier events are there, and you can see them in other views, but not in List View. Any ideas?

OK, I solved it. Here is the solution if you have precisely the problem I had.
1. On the iOS device: delete the iCloud account.
2. Go to the Apple ID website and make sure the ONLY email there is the me.com email and that it is set as primary. If you Mac.com email is listed as a secondary email THIS will cause the problem. So delete the Mac.com email.
3. Log back in to iCloud on the iOS device.
Only you wanted to use the Mac.com address and not the me.com one, you could follow the above instructions just swapping me and Mac.

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.

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.

Power View in Office 365 vs. Power View in SharePoint

Hi all,
I am trying to find the best method to get PowerView reports into Dynamics AX. So far, I've simply created a form as ActiveX and navigated to the link to the excel file, but this is not desirable. I read that it is possible to have them embedded into Role
Centers/Enterprise Portal, but I need to have PowerView in "SharePoint" mode.
What are the differences between SharePoint mode and Office 365? Is there no way to export the PowerViews to PowerPoint or as Menu Items from Office 365?
Also, any information or tips on integrating PowerViews/Power BI with Dynamics AX would be great!
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Power View comes in two different flavors:
1. Power View as an Excel add-in (free with Excel 2013 Professional Plus)
If you have Office 365 with Power BI enabled, you can create visualizations(Charts etc) in Excel using Power View and publish them to a Power BI site which lets you share, view, and interact with reports. At the time of this posting, there is no way
to export a Power View Report (created in Excel) to Power Point.
2. Power View, as a Reporting Services(SSRS) Add-in for SharePoint Server(Enterprise Edition).
If you don't have Office 365(with Power BI), you can still publish Power View reports(created in Excel) to an on-premise SharePoint site.You can definitely
Export a report from Power View in SharePoint to PowerPoint
Integration with Dynamics AX - There are several options for integration and here is one of them.
1. Use Power Query to Discover all the data you need from Dynamics AX (SQL Server database),
Transform and Mashup the data. Create a data model in Power Pivot and then use Power View to create your visualizations and publish them to either an on-premise SharePoint environment or to a Power BI site in Office 365.
I have a Dynamics AX client and they wanted to use Power View. They have a Data Warehouse built on top of their AX database and an SSAS cube (Multidimensional) on top of their Data Warehouse. Since they don't have an Enterprise instance of SharePoint, we
extracted all the data from the Data Warehouse into a Power Pivot model, then used Power View(the Excel add-in) to create the visualizations.
Please take a look at this technet article
Microsoft Dynamics AX integration with Power BI for Office 365
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any questions.

How to show current year and last year sales in a WEBI Report

Hi Guys
How can show current YEar Sales in one column and Last YEar Sales in the other column based on a user prompt for the Current YEar Column.
For Example is user enter 2010 for Year how can i show a Column for Sales-2010 and Sales 2009.
Thanks

If you can modify your Universe add an object named New Object Last Year whose SQL is:( yourTableName.Year + 1)
Then in WebI create two distinct queries in your query Pane. In the first one you could do this:
Query 1:
objects: Year, Sales ... etc.
filters:   Year Equal to '1. Prompt Year'
Query 2:
objects: Year, Sales ... etc.
filters:    New Object Last Year Equal to '1.Prompt Year'
Then in your report you can drag each object on their respective columns.
If you don't want to use two distinct queries, use one like this:
Query 1:
objects: Year, Sales ... etc.
filters:        Year Equal to '1. Prompt Year'
             Or
                  New Object Last Year Equal to '1.Prompt Year'

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:

What is max size of slicer values in Power View on SharePoint?

I have Power View on SharePoint 2013 and OLAP Cube on SQL Server 2014 solution.
I should have 1000 values in DimCity, but not all are available in slicer.
Why? What is max value?
Kenny_I

Hi Kenny_I,
According to your description, you have 1000 values in a data field, but some of them are not available in Power View slicer. Right?
In this scenario, as we tested in our local environment, it's not related to the number of values. We tried 2000+ values in a slicer. It can return all the data field values properly. Please check if it has corresponding value for each DimCity. It has
no limitation on max number of values within a slicer.

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
of Total] AS
//Used to get % from total
IIF([Measures].[Total Count] = 0,
NULL,
IIF(isempty( ([Measures].[Total Count],
Axis(1)(0)(Axis(1)(0).Count-
1).Dimension.CurrentMember.Parent
)), 1,
[Measures].[Total Count] / ([Measures].[Total Count],
Axis(1)(0)(
Axis(1)(0).Count-
1 ).Dimension.CurrentMember.Parent))),
FORMAT_STRING="#,##0.00
%;-#,##0.00 %";

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.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Percent] AS
Case
// Test to avoid division by zero.
When IsEmpty ([Measures].[Total Count]) Then Null
// Test for current coordinate being on the (All) member.
When [Status].[Status Name].CurrentMember.Level Is [Status].[Status Name].[(All)] Then 1
Else ( [Status].[Status Name].CurrentMember, [Measures].[Total Count] )
/ ( [Status].[Status Name].CurrentMember.Parent, [Measures].[Total Count] )
End
, FORMAT_STRING ="#,##0.00 %;-#,##0.00 %"
SELECT
{ [Measures].[Total Count],[Measures].[Percent] } ON COLUMNS,
{ [Status].[Status Name].[Status Name]} ON ROWS
FROM [Report]
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Percent2] AS
Case
// Test to avoid division by zero.
When IsEmpty ([Measures].[Total Count]) Then Null
// Test for current coordinate being on the (All) member.
When [Order Placed Date].[Order Placed Date].CurrentMember.Level Is [Order Placed Date].[Order Placed Date].[(All)] Then 1
Else ( [Order Placed Date].[Order Placed Date].CurrentMember, [Measures].[Total Count] )
/ ( [Order Placed Date].[Order Placed Date].CurrentMember.Parent, [Measures].[Total Count] )
End
, FORMAT_STRING ="#,##0.00 %;-#,##0.00 %"
SELECT
{ [Measures].[Total Count],[Measures].[Percent2] } ON COLUMNS,
{ [Order Placed Date].[Order Placed Date].[Order Placed Year]} ON ROWS

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

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)

Power view in SharePoint - Required fields not working!!!

Hi,
We have SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2014 and SSRS in SharePoint integrated mode.
We have a "Microsoft BI Semantic Model for Power View"-data connection in a document library and by clicking it users can create their own Power View reports.
We have in the document library defined a couple of columns as required.
When a user saves their Power View report(File->Save as) to the document library, the required fields are left blank. They are not checked!!!
WHY?
Does Power View use REST when saving to the document library?
This question should be in SQL Server/Power View/SharePoint -forumns, but MSDN forces you to select only one.
How can we enforce the checking of required columns???

It might be the result of nested script tags.
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
<!--
Remote one of those opening tags and remove the closing tag in between the scripts.
Also, I'm not sure if you are aware, but your site looks completely broken in Firefox. Edges are ragged and the text runs off the page in places. This is the result of using a graphics program to create your html. Image ready slices are fine for prototyping, but not suitable for production work because they create code that is fragile and too rigid.
I also would not use the Flash header you have used just to display imges. I suggest using a more accessible method.

Getting Power View on Sharepoint to interpret latitude and longitude correctly

After pulling my hair for a few dozen hours I come here with a simple question.
I have a SQL Server 2012 View - joining 3 different tables, one of which contains latitude and longitude in Decimal(9,6) format.
I have a Tabular model using this view which I push to Analysis services and further on to Sharepoint 2013.
However, when I pull the longitude and latitude columns to the corresponding fields in Power View, the data is just placed standardly in the Artic Sea. Now I have tried changing to and from commas and periods as decimal separator but nothing seems to work.
I can get it to work using Power Map and Power View for Excel 2013 but not on Sharepoint.
I have spent a great deal of time on Google searching for answers but nothing seems to adress this issue, despite it being asked before

I too have been frustrated by this behavior. I also have issues with locations in Puerto Rico showing up in Europe using the zip code and/or state. I've found when I use lat/long things look correct which makes resolving this
issue even more pressing for me.
Unfortunately in the SharePoint construct you cannot control how the api interrupts the address like you can in Excel. I think that is why models in excel recognize latitude and longitude without issue but in SharePoint it's a no go. I have
not tried to see if the tabular construct recognizes lat/long.

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

Why is my Week view in calendar only showing 3 days on one screen?

When I go online to check this out, I see that everyone else's week view (in portrait mode) has the full 5 days on one screen. Mine only shows 3 days at once and I have to swipe to the next screen to see the rest of the week.
Any help appreciated! Thanks!

Does any body have any idea?
