I'm trying to connect to a Mondrian cube from Excel 2016 using XMLA_Provider. Except I still get the HTTP/1.1 401 error.
enter image description here
The Pentaho server is running, the cube I'm trying to connect to is also deployed at the Pentaho server. But connecting from Excel 2016 with XMLA_Provider fails

I am deploying a SSAS Tabular project that uses a ODBC datasource.
This datasource is a DSN created for Hive (cloudera).
I am using SSDT for developing the datasource. I had to install ODBC Driver for 64 and 34 bits with the same name (here the explanation https://ayadshammout.com/2013/07/13/ssas-tabular-using-hiveodbc-connection/)
I am trying to deploy this proyect in a remote server, but I get this error:
"The modifications to the server could not be saved. Error returned: 'Error de OLE DB u ODBC.
Could not connect to the data source named 'Hive_DES'"
Is it necessary that the ODBCs be created on the server with the same name?
Thanks
I resolved the issue. It is necessary configurate an user with permissions to get data. The ODBC should be well configured.
I am trying to connect to azure database from Power Bi. I can connect to the database using Managment studio and I can connect using power bi if I do not specify the database name.
If I put the database name (needed when I want to run a query), PowerBI not not connecting and it's telling me that the IP address is not registered (I have added the IP address on the azure firewall, which is proved by the fact I can perfectly connect and import tables if I just put the server name).
step 1 clean the stored credentials in the power bi -file>option and setting> data source setting> find your azure server and delete/clear permission
and then try to login to your azure sql
Am hoping i can count on skill set of the experts in the house.
I have a BI solution developed with Microsoft Analysis Services (aka SSAS) and am trying to connect to it via qlikview, the error thrown is
Ensure SQL Server browser is running
and upon ports opened it try to connect and endless asking for user credentials without browsing the cubes.
I have tried couple of suggested solutions such as :
Firstly, the SQL Server browser is running on the said server
Secondly, have opened up the port for SSAS using a fixed port as the instance is a named instance
Also, have opened up the port on which SQL Server browser runs.
Firewall has been switched off on the said port while remote connectivity has been allowed.
Yet the error persists.
Although I can connect with the SSAS database on the local machine.
The problem does lie with trying to connect to SSAS on a remote server connection.
N.B: Am using Qlikview version 11.20, SQL server 2012 while the remote server is Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard 64 bit
Kindly be of help here please.

I have installed a BI server community edition and create a DataSource. This DataSource connect with a PostgreSQL database in another server (JDBC). Now, I have the Report Designer and I want to use the DataSource created in BI CE Server.
I can connect with PostgreSQL database from Report Designer creating a JDBC Datasource, but I want to connect with the DataSource created in BI Server.
How could i do that?
Best regards.
You can do that creating a JNDI connection in Pentaho BI Server and Pentaho Report Designer (PRD). I leave this links of my blog where I have instructions of how to do it:
Configure JNDI Connection Pentaho BI Server
Configure JNDI Connection Pentaho Report Designer
Also, when you create a report using PRD you have to Publish it to Pentaho BI Server. I hope it helps you.
I am getting a strange error when creating Excel 2013 Power View sheets off an Analysis Services (SSAS) Tabular instance running on an Azure VM in the cloud. Here is the error:
Sorry, something went wrong while loading the model for the item or data source 'xxxxxx.cloudapp.net Tabular Model'. Verify that the connection information is correct and that you have permissions to access the data source.
The weird thing is that I can successfully create normal connected PivotTables from it; I only get the error when I try to make Power View sheets. Which would lead me to believe I am connecting to a multidimensional SSAS database, but I am not. Here are some things I have tried already:
Forwarded the default SSAS port 2383 in Azure and opened it in windows firewall (this allowed me to browse the cube with connected PivotTables)
Ensured my login has permissions on the SSAS database (I am not using windows authentication)
Checked the SSAS Tabular compatability version, it is 1103
Checked the SSAS Tabular SSDT project compatability level, it is also 1103
Made sure SQL Server Browser was running (I read somewhere that might be an issue)
Tried opening port 80 and 443 in case those were needed for something, didn't help...
Tried monitoring Excel's port usage to see if it was trying other ports, couldn't see anything besides 2383
Sucessfully connected to an intranet SSAS Tabular database (comparability 1101) and created a Power View sheet from it (which means there shouldn't be anything wrong with my Excel client)
Here are some details of my setup:
Server
Windows Server 2012
SQL Server 2012 SP1
SSAS Tabular default instance (compatability level 1103)
Client
Windows 8
Excel 2013 (15.0.4426.1017) MSO (15.0.4454.1002) 32-bit
Update (2/12/2013): I installed Excel 2013 on the server and can successfully create Power View sheets connected to the Tabular database. This implies that my tabular SSAS instance is setup just fine, but the problem still exists when trying to create sheets through the internet.
Update (2/15/2013): I updated my Excel to 15.0.4454.1503 with Windows Update to no avail. I had a coworker successfully connect with a slightly older version of Excel 2013. I am totally stumped. I also attempted installing a fresh copy of Excel on a VM that I updated to v 15.0.4454.1503 and it was giving me the same error.
Update (2/20/2013): I installed a fresh local VM with Windows Server 2012, SQL Server 2012, and SSAS Tabular compat 1103. I STILL cannot successfully make Power View reports from that server. I strongly believe there is some kind of bug with the Excel 2013 client.
Try starting Excel with different user. I was able to open remote SSAS Tabular in that way:
runas /netonly /user:SERVERNAME\Administrator "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\EXCEL.EXE"
This problem has something to do with Windows authentication. Maybe Power View don't have same kind of dialog to ask for password for remote login to SSAS.
According to this article http://blogs.msdn.com/b/analysisservices/archive/2013/05/31/power-view-connectivity-for-multidimensional-models-released.aspx
is not possible to connect excel to multi-dimensional models
I was having the same issue. I could not connect with powerview to a tabular cube using different credentials to the currently logged on user. Connecting with a normal pivot table worked fine. After installing CU7 and above for SQL 2012 SP1 this fixed the authentication problem. I then change the default port of my tabular instance and powerview could not connect again. I solved this by installing an app called portmapper. I mapped the default port 2383 to my server port. All works fine. It seems that powerview in excel expects the server to be on the default port and does not use the port specified in the connection.
