PerformancePoint and Sharepoint list as a data source

Question

I was asked to create a very simple dashboard using a Sharepoint list as my data source using the Dashboard Designer tool. I can create the datasource, retrieve the list and see the data in a tabular format. Now, when I try creating a KPI or a ScoreCard out of that list, I get a 'Unable to retrieve list' error. Has anybody else run into this? It doesn't seem to be a connection or a permission issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, -Alex

Answer 1

Have you been through the MSDN Virtual Lab on Performance Point? It has a complete walkthrough of creating a list and configuring the dashboard to talk to the list.

Answer 2

Thanks for the tip Tom. Yes, I actually follow through the Virtual Lab. The problem I was having was related to the internal configuration of our Sharepoint server. I was also missing the service account access on the Sharepoint server.

Answer 3

Hi Alex, could you tell me more about your internal sharepoint configuration? I got the same error. Thanks, Benoit
