Problems with Microsoft Project office 365 Visual reports MSOLAP$cubes
Dale_HowardMVP I was having this problem on and off but could keep retrying and eventually the report would run. Sometimes just renaming the file would do the trick.
As of yesterday, no success at all. Have you found any resolution?
I've contacted Microsoft Support and they have stated the following:
We have tested this behavior internally and unfortunately, this issue is persisting and we are able to re-create/reproduce this issue. It has already been highlighted to our escalation/senior peers and a fix would be rolled out in upcoming months, apologies but currently no ETA is confirmed
Only workaround at this moment is a rollback to: Version 2008(Build 13127.20910)
Kind regards,
Jeremy
- Jeremy I also contacted MS Support and we found that I had taken on an MS Office update that was not compatible with my Microsoft version. I pushed some Microsoft updates through and the Visual report function in Project is back to running pretty consistently as before. Occasionally a report won't run but I try again and it runs.

Thanks for letting us know the resolution to this problem. I have to admit that your problem was a real head scratcher to me!I have used MS Project for decades and the Visual Reports have always been iffy. Multiple releases, multiple windows versions, multiple office versions, all have problems. Using Office 365, brand new and it's deja vu. Run a visual report for Cash Flow for example and it gets stuck on "Gathering reporting data..." about 50% of the time. For me, the whole install and update, remove the program and reinstall, send your screen shots, check your version, etc are red herrings. I've probably tried to use Visual Reports on 10 different computers, with 8 different versions of windows and who knows how many generations of office (am I in the 100's of permutations yet?) and have always had problems. It is a great tool when it works and it would be spectacular if the integration with Excel (two-way? possible? a dream? sort of exists but not really) was complete.
