Power View / Power Pivot Enhancement Request: Allow a value to be associated with a consistent color

Just like you can specify a "sort by" column in SSAS tabular, allow the ability to specify a "rendering color" column with a hex value. We've had many requests to associate a certain value in reports with a consistent color.

Hi TheNotoriousBLG,
Based on my understanding, you want to specify color for the values in the power view report.
Power View is an interactive data exploration, visualization, and presentation experience that encourages intuitive ad-hoc reporting. We can easily create a report by selected expected fields, however, there is no feature for us to customize font color or
background setting within the Power View report. So for your requirement, it can’t be achieved currently. Please refer to link below:
No Customization of font color or Background setting in power view report using Office 2013
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,
Qiuyun Yu

Enhancement Request ADAPT00990551: "Read uncommitted to be available with OLE DB connection" has been submitted. The only notice there will be that this has been addressed is if it is listed in the Read Me for future service packs.

Any updates on this for OLE ?
We are using this in our connection on the universe

Power View Enhancement Request - Allow for columns to drop off PowerView when column name changes in data model instead of rendering the PowerView inaccessible

Currently in PowerView, if a column name changes in the tabular model, and that column is being used in a PowerView chart, the PowerView will become inaccessible.
It would be nice if it functioned similar to Pivot Table. If a column name changes for a column that is being used in a Pivot Table, the field is just removed from the chart, and the user can select the newly named column.

Hi plantm,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. After we change a column name which is used in a Power View chart, Power view will render the message that” The external data connection has been disabled for this Power View report. Please enable
the connection.” when we reopen the file.
To fix this issue, we can click Refresh button under POWER VIEW menu, then it would prompt us that” Power View was not able to complete the action due to a query failure. This can happen if the structure of your data has changed, in which case closing and
re-opening the application will resolve the problem.”
According to the error message, we should try to reopen the file to fix this issue. Power view will render the message that” Please refresh to see the data for this Power View Sheet. You can set properties in the Connection Properties dialog so that the
data refreshes automatically when you open the file.” when we reopen the file. Then we can refresh it again, the report will be displayed without that field.
Based on my research, inherently what the message means is that Power View cannot be used as a tool for snapshot reporting. With an Excel PivotTable, we can see the data last saved in the PivotTable. Power View, however, does not behave the same way – it
won’t render the last saved state. If we want to avoid this message when we reopen the file, there are two methods:
When we create the Power View report, we can select the checkbox that “Refresh data when opening the file”.
After it’s been set up, go to Connections on the Data menu, then choose Properties.
For more details about the settings, we can refer to the following blog:
http://www.sqlchick.com/entries/2013/3/30/creating-a-power-view-report-in-excel-2013-which-uses-an-ext.html
Hope this helps.

Power Pivot Field list in not displayed in Power Pivot-Ribbon / Missing Power View-Ribbon

Hi
I've got the following probem, when I add a Pivot Table from inside the Power Pivot Data Model I only get the ordinary Pivottable Field list.
When I look into the Power Pivot Ribbon there is
no 'Field list' inside the ribbon. Not even a disabled one (grey) is visible.
And there's another problem, I miss the Power View-Ribbon, there is nothing available in the ribbon, although the Power View-AddIn is activated.
My configuration
Windows 7 - 64 bit
Office 2010 - 32 bit incl. Power Pivot - everything with Power Pivot works fine
Excel 2013 - 32 bit incl. Power Pivot - here's the missing Power Pivot Field list / Power View-Ribbon
Does anyone has an idea for a solution? Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Joerg

There is no ribbon for Power View in Excel 2013, you need to go to INSERT tab > Power View Reports. Once you insert a Power View Report, you will see the Power View tab.
To answer your first question about PowerPivot, It is called PivotTabel Field List and it is not under PowerPivot tab, once you click on PivotTable, you should see at the top PIVOTTABLE TOOLS with Analyze and Design tabs.
HTH!

How to Create Power View Report using power pivot file in SharePoint 2013

H,
I have power pivot and Power View excel files. Now i want to create the Power View report in SharePoint 2013.
What steps should i use?
Can anyone help me on it.

Thanks & Regards
Poomani Sankaran

Hi Aditya,
Thanks for your reply.
I am using Enterprise edition of SharePoint 2013 only. SQL Server 2012 SP1.
I have configured Reporing Services also successfully. I got "Reporting" folder in "15" hive location "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\WebServices"
SSRS Service application also i have created success in CA Manage Service Application.
I have done "Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint" also which is "rsSharePoint.msi".
What should i do apart from this? Can you tell me. Its frustrating like anything.
I have added the "PowerPivot" excel in "PowerPivot Gallery" and clicked the icon "Create Power View Report"
Thanks in Advance.

Does SharePoint 2013 have Power Query services similar to Power Pivot and Power View?

Does SharePoint 2013 include services to host/support Power Query content similar to the way it hosts Power Pivot content in the Power Pivot Gallery?

Miguel. Is there an update to this? New information or new timeline?
We have SP 2013 Enterprise, on-prem. I'm finding that Power Query 's ability to get CSV or XML or other Web Services content, and then load it up to PowerPivot, is a way to address the lack of ODATA connectivity options on the web. :-(
I would very much like to be able to create an XLS doc, with a Power Query to a CSV file, Loaded to PowerPivot, and have SP's Excel Services/PowerPivot engine continue to update the content for me. It fails today, as you stated above.
Do you even think this will be updated for the on-prem version of SharePoint 2013 or will it only live in Power BI for Office 365?

To create a Power View report, start Power View from a
data model file in SharePoint Server 2010 or 2013. Models, or connections to models, can be in a SharePoint Server document library or in a
Power Pivot Gallery, a special purpose SharePoint Server document library that provides rich preview and document management for published Microsoft Excel workbooks that contain data models.
Please refer to the links below to get report in Power View in SharePoint server:

Page Component View - Enhancement Request

Minor enhancement request:
Add a link directly to the Javascript section of the Page attributes, similar to HTML Header, Template etc.
This would also have the benefit of being able to determine if functions were declared in this section w/out having to drill into the page.
Thanks!

Hi plantm,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. After we change a column name which is used in a Power View chart, Power view will render the message that” The external data connection has been disabled for this Power View report. Please enable
the connection.” when we reopen the file.
To fix this issue, we can click Refresh button under POWER VIEW menu, then it would prompt us that” Power View was not able to complete the action due to a query failure. This can happen if the structure of your data has changed, in which case closing and
re-opening the application will resolve the problem.”
According to the error message, we should try to reopen the file to fix this issue. Power view will render the message that” Please refresh to see the data for this Power View Sheet. You can set properties in the Connection Properties dialog so that the
data refreshes automatically when you open the file.” when we reopen the file. Then we can refresh it again, the report will be displayed without that field.
Based on my research, inherently what the message means is that Power View cannot be used as a tool for snapshot reporting. With an Excel PivotTable, we can see the data last saved in the PivotTable. Power View, however, does not behave the same way – it
won’t render the last saved state. If we want to avoid this message when we reopen the file, there are two methods:
When we create the Power View report, we can select the checkbox that “Refresh data when opening the file”.
After it’s been set up, go to Connections on the Data menu, then choose Properties.
For more details about the settings, we can refer to the following blog:

Power Query; How do I reference a Power Pivot table from a Power Query query

Hi,
It's pretty awesome how you can define Extract Transform and Load processes within Power Query without having to type in a single line of code. However how do I reference a Power Pivot table from a Power Query query to avoid me repeatedly accessing
the same data source (CSV) file with a view to increasing performance?
We are aware of the reference sub menu option with Power Query. However the new query created by the "reference" option still seems to refresh data from the data source (CSV) rather than just referencing the base query. Is this understanding
correct? There does seem to be a lot of hard disk activity when re-running the new query which is based on a base query rather than a data source. So we were hoping the new query would just need to reference the base query in memory rather than rescanning
the hard disk. Is there any way to ensure that the reference query just rescans the base query in memory?
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

Hi Kieran,
This sounds like something to be suggested for a future release. At the present time, Power Query will always re-run the entire Power Query query when refreshed. The Reference feature is analogous to a SQL view whereby the underlying query is always re-executed
when it's queried, or in this case refreshed. Even something like using the Power Query cache to minimise the amount of data re-read from the disk would be helpful for performance but the cache is only used for the preview data and stored locally.
It would be a good idea to suggest this feature to the Power BI team via the feedback smiley face.

How to create and export a sharepoint list connection file to excel connection file library from power pivot?

Hi All,
I'm new to SharePoint and Power BI.
I've to use share point 2013 lists to create power view reports. For that, I need to create Power Pivot in Excel 2013.
I'm fine with the above. We normally take a data feed of a list and create connection to that. We need to create a connection file (.odc) and export it into a excel file connection library of Share point. The connection to be made to share point list. The
power pivot will be having multiple related lists.
How can I create a connection file which is referring to share point list
Please suggest.
Regards,
Julie

Hi All,
Finally, I could find the answer for this question after a long search.
First of all, open a new excel file in server.
Data-->From other connection-->From data connection wizard-->data feed-->Location of the data feed-->
http://sharepointsite/sitename/_vti_bin/ListData.svc
-->next-->select the lists which you need-->next-->only create connection-->properties--->export connection file
-->ok
The connection file has been created and .odc file exported to the specified location.
Open power pivot and check the connection in existing connections.
Exported file has to be uploaded in Excel file connection library of share point 2013. So that you can refer the same in this excel file when you upload it into share point.
Regards,
Julie

Getting an "unable to Load the tables in the power pivot window" error

Hello,
I have 2 worksheets in a excel file and would like to load both into a power pivot table. When I click the 'create linked table' in the pwer pivot ribbon, The powerpivot window open and looks like its about to load the data but then I get
a popup dialogue box with the following error:
Unable to load the tables in the powerpivot window

has Anyone seen this error before and know what to do?
Thanks,

Hi
I get first the same error as above but after I look into the details I see the following error message:
in translation the error message is: There is already a item with the same key added.
I can open the power pivot window in diagram view. And after I refresh the data in one of the tables I can open it in the table view. I have already searched for "!" signs in the calculations and searched for calculations with same name but that
is not the problem.
Also I can't open the synonym window. I think this has something to do with it because I've made changes in the synonyms.

How do I filter on multiple values / labels within a Pivot Table which points to a Power Pivot Model

Hi,
How do I filter on multiple values / labels within a large data set within a Pivot Table which points to a Power Pivot Model. I am current using Excel 2010 64 bit. I intend to empower users to achieve this by simply using the Excel user interface, not by
using Excel formula or DAX. Please find the attached screen shot as a worked example, also in my real life example not all the values are available in the drop down. You can't use a slicer for the same reason as you can't use a drop down. I guess what I was
hoping for is for the user to be able to enter AND or OR within the associated dialog box. Is there any way around this?
Kind Regards,
Kieran.
