Performance Point Data Source - performance

Working in Performance Point 2010, trying to get the data source connected to a new Scorecard. Ive created a data source from my SSAS cube and I can create a scorecard, but I want to be able to place dimensions (on the right of Dashboard Designer) and drag them into the workspace. Problem is it doesn't show any dimensions from the cube although I know they are in there. Anyone ever had this issue before?

Looking at the screenshot, it looks like a data source needs to be selected. If the data source is not listed when you first add it to the workspace, you will need to save the workspace before you are able to use the data source in filters, scorecards etc.

Sometimes the datasource has been created, but not actually added to the cube. Go back to the SSAS cube in visual studio and open the Cube Structure window and make sure the dimensions are included
Also note that Dashboard Designer needs to be closed and re-opened in order to pick up and structural changes in the SSAS Cube (some sort of dumb caching issue).

How to format tile view in Microsoft SharePoint

Currently my SharePoint website looks like this image
I was wondering if there is a way to make the section with the links smaller (maybe by about 25%) and into two rows of five while still keeping that default tile view SharePoint provides. I've looked into custom formatting with JSON, but I'm not sure how to replicate the default tile view using this method. Also, I'm completely clueless on how to edit a whole section's size as there is no option when editing the web part. Any help is appreciated.

How do I change the colour of the results grid borders in Azure Data Studio?

There must be a way to do this, because switching between different themes changes the colour of the borders in the results grid. But I want to customise it for one of themes I'm currently using. (Which I know is possible based on this question.)
The only reference I can find in Microsoft's documentation is this page for Visual Studio Code:
https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/theme-color
...but seeing as the results grid is an Azure Data Studio feature, there's nothing in there talking about it.
Anyone have any thoughts??

Why my Revit view are blank?

We are working on a project using workset. Recently we start to find our views blank when we start our Revit project, we need to zoom all to see the view content. It was not like that befor a new member come to our team. The same thing start happning in other project when she started working with it. What is the possible reason to that?
There is likely an element floating in space that is stretching your view extents. It could also be an element in a linked file, revit or cad.

Crystal Reports will insert certain images but not others

Are there specific requirements for images that are to be inserted into CR?
I’m trying to insert an image into Crystal reports, but nothing happens after I select my file. I have a different image that I’ve used for testing that inserts with no problems so I’m assuming that it has something to do with the JPG file settings when saving the image. Note that this is just a static logo for a page header – nothing is being dynamically loaded.
I know that GIFs cannot be used, so I’ve tried JPG and PNG to no avail. I’ve even saved my “working” image again through Photoshop and it will insert. I’ve then used those settings to save the non-working image, but that image wont insert. I’ve used Crystal Reports a lot in the past and this is the first time I’ve come across this issue and my searches lead me to a variety of resources for dynamic image inclusion, but nothing to for this hopefully simple issue.
I’m using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010.
Link to images used in testing
After messing with this problem all day, I found out it’s a bug in the Crystal Reports IDE.
Here’s how to duplicate the issue:
Right click on your report and select Insert >> Picture
Double-click on the image that you wish to insert.
Depending on your image and how the image was saved in Photoshop, it may or may not insert into the report. I’ve had mixed results and apparently some images work and some do not. I haven’t quite figured out the pattern yet, but I believe it has to do with the color profiles of the image. I probably won’t waste any more time investigating it, because the following resolution has worked for me every time and I can import every image that I’ve created in Photoshop regardless of how the image was saved and the settings used to save the images. (Assuming that they’re all JPGs, of course.)
Resolution:
Right click on your report and select Insert >> Picture
SINGLE-click on the image that you wish to insert to select it.
Click “Open”
The image should insert into the report properly.
It’s a subtle difference, but I hope this saves someone else a few hours of debugging.

Worked AOK for me. Check if you have all the latest patches. I've attached a screenshot in Crystal 2011 and saved the .rpt for you to try and open in Visual Studio 2010: http://speedy.sh/RGgfg/crimages.zip
The reason is because the format is not supported, I had exactly the same problem but when I saved the file as JPG it started working perfectly!.
i think crytal report does not accept some image formats but what i did when i encountered the problem was to
1. open the image with coreldraw
2. copy the image content of the image and paste it in the crystal report instead of using the insert tool on crystal report and it worked
hope this will also be helpul.

creating a customized Bing Map

I'm currently working on a project (Water Information System) and I really need to create a simple customized map for the software I'm currently working on.
The maps would only have info. about the communities around, water links and closest water purification chambers
How do i create a create a customized bing map where
1. Map Admins can create and update the map (by adding new water chambers/ info)
2. Users can easily view only the customized map.
I'm having problems doing that with the BING MAP SDK + Visual Studio 2010 + Silverlight.
Please any possible solution, hint or suggestion. Thanks
Not sure if you're still looking for help on this ...
I have done something similiar but instead of using the Silverlight BingMaps control, I've used the AJAX instead, and controlled it all via Javascript.
You'd want to have 2 screens for your project - one where the Admins can plot and drop their data (water chambers) and you save those to a database with their Geo coordinates.
the 2nd screen would be the end-users loading the map, and you would create another EntityCollection layer holding all of the data pulled from the database.
Here is a sample project I found that should provide you a template to get started
