Data Anlaysis Report error with Bubble Chart

[Shafeeq]

Hi,
I am trying to create an analysis report in ps 2007 but when the type of
the chart is Bubble i always get the following message when trying to open
the view or edit the view, the error is:

"An error was encountered in loading the page, Refresh the page, or contact
your server aministrator if this problem persists".

Please assist, i have checked and found other users with the same problem
but no solution provided.

Thanks..

You may be out of luck. I had a similar issue last year, and was able to
easily reproduce it on multiple environments - including the downloaded VPC
demo from Microsoft.

As I recall, when I opened the bubble chart, I would get an error like that,
but upon clicking "ok" the error went away and you could see the bubble chart.
I'll need to dig up my notes, but I think that it worked if you just had
the chart, and not the table - or it worked when you had both the chart and
the table, and not the menu bar...? One of those combinations did show the
right data, but you still had to click through the error...

I'll see if I can find my notes.

Found my notes from about a year ago (MOPS07, SP1, IU):

Implementing a bubble chart in Data Analysis. Everything seems to work fine
w/ other DA views, but I get a peculiar issue with Bubble Charts:

1) When selecting the view from the DA dropdown, I get an “Invalid Callâ€
message. When click ok, the image renders fine.
2) When managing that specific view in the Manage Views page, I get
an “Error on Page†message, but after clicking through it, everything looks
the same.

There seems to be some issue w/ the toolbar displaying in the PivotChart.
If I have the toolbar displayed, then the chart renders. If the toolbar
is not displayed, the chart won’t render.

Hope that helps. For what it's worth I was just chatting with some of the
Microsoft Project Team yesterday about this very topic, and surprisingly
enough, despite the fact that bubble charts show up in every demo I've ever
seen, there really aren't all that many clients using them in the real world.

Here're a couple of other newsgroup postings of the same issue (from my notes):
