Problems with Microsoft Project office 365 Visual reports MSOLAP$cubes
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.
