That’s because by default the Run64BitRuntime project property is set to True. Check out this blog post for more details. [...]

Comment on OLAP Reporting with Excel 2007: Use Member Properties!! by Davy

The only way to make sure the user always drops the property, is to disable the attribute: AttributeHierarchyEnabled = false.
But this also means the attribute is only visible as a property.

Comment on SSAS: Custom format string for “duration” using MDX by Nathan Griffiths

The OLAP Server formatting settings are unfortunately stored with the spreadsheet, not the ODC connection file. This means that when opening a spreadsheet from a connection file you have to enable these settings each time.
However, if you open a blank spreadsheet and then use the Get External Data.. method of connecting to Analysis Services then the above settings are enabled by default.

How can we get this Member Property displayed by default ?
What I mean is when we drop and dimension in to the Excel Row, along with dimenison, it should put the member property. Is there any way to do it

Comment on Excel Services: Data Refresh Failed by paul t

i need SERIOUS help. i’ve done all of this, i’m in a 3 server farm, it’s dev, so everything was configured using the same account, i know this account has correct permission. i’m using SSO, and the data will refresh just fine in the excel workbook, but i’m still getting this error in the excel services web part. i’ve tried all of this using two separate farms, and i’ve used two different sql servers in the domain for each farm to make sure it wasn’t a setting on the sql server. is there anything else that can be causing this issue (in my excel services settings, i’ve allowed data refresh, and i’ve allowed for all types of data connections (embedded et al). the report library is trusted as well as the data connection library. when i go into my logs, i see no excel services errors. HELP!!

Comment on Administrator has no access to the Report Manager (SQL2008 R2 and Windows7/Vista) by Mohsen

Hi
I am testing the custom security extension and am just using the Microsoft sample and getting the empty page. I have tested all of the steps which you have mentioned with no luck. FYI I have changed the directory security to anonymous but it’s running under a domain user which is a domain administrator. Any other reason do you know which can cause this issue?
Thanks
Mohsen
