Unanswered Performace point/Excel services OLAP cubes

    Running Sharepoint 2010 Ent fresh install.  I have created a new site and performance point service as instructed in the following tutorial.

    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/performancepoint/archive/2009/11/24/deploying-performancepoint-2010-soup-to-nuts.aspx

    I have then uploaded an Excel document which pulls data from OLAP cubes.  The Excel doc as a standalone works fine.  After it has been uploaded users can open it as normal etc but when changing slicers and trying to pull info from the cubes I get the following error..

    An error occurred durning an attempt to establish a connection to the external data source.  The following connections failed to refresh: "Name of out cubes here"

    I have been playing with the secure store and generating keys etc to no avail.  I have tried exporting the .odc file from the Excel document and uploading it to the data connections library/dashboard site but this doesnt help

    The anoying thing is that I had it working once and then the next day it failed for no apparent reason and even after a fresh install I cant get it to work again.  Any pointers or tutorials would be greatly appreciated!

    My guess is that the user is not mapped to the credentials in the Secure Store Service. Each user must be mapped eith individually or through a group.

    Hi Scot,


    Thanks for your reply.  Could you give me a brief run down on the best practice way of doing this or point me to a resource with instructions?

    You go into the Secure Store Service Application and set the members for your SSS ID that is being used to pass the credentials.

    Hi Clayton, thanks for the reply.

    I have added the users that need to access the files in the secure  store service that I created (set permissions) and also added the user account to the set credentials option.  I am still getting the same error, any further ideas?
