Connect to SSAS

Hello,

I am trying to test the tool, but I am not able to connect to SSAS cube. I get the message :


Analysis Services database error 0x80004005: Unable to connect to the Analysis server. The server name '.' was not found. Please verify that the name you entered is correct, and then try again
The drivers necessary to connect to Microsoft Analysis Services 2005 are not properly installed. If you are connecting to an Analysis Services 2005 server you will require updated drivers. You may visit http://www.tableausoftware.com/drivers to download driver setup files.
Unable to connect to the server. Check that the server is running and that you have access privileges to the requested database.

I tried to install the SSAS driver wich is under support/download, but I got a message telling me that my actual driver version is more recent than the one I am trying to install.

So ?

Thank you in advance for your response,

Philippe

Hi Philippe,

I don't know offhand. You may want to contact support@tableausoftware.com and provide the version number of your newer driver (or your Tableau log file, if you can't find that). They should be able to tell you whether a version is incompatible or supported.
