    Hi,

    I've heard that in SP1 we can now reference tabular perspectives in the RSDS connection string. I've looked around but can't find anything relating to this.

    Could somone give me an example string of how the perspective name is added to the connection string please?

    Thanks

    Mike

    It is something like this: 
    Data Source=localhost\TABULAR;Initial Catalog=Adventure Works Internet Sales Model Denali CTP3;Cube=Test Perspective
    From: Power View should accept an rsds with Cube=Perspective in the connection string

    We have the initial release of SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition (11.0.2100.60) and have a SSAS Tabular Database with perspectives. We need to access one  of these perspectives from Powerview so we created a .rsds connection file. The Cube parameter is accepted in the connection string but it doesn't work, Powerview keeps showing all objects of the cube. Is it needed an update to SQL Server 2012 SP1?

    Thanks
