"An error has occured" while opening PowerPivot workbook on Sharepoint - sharepoint

At the beginning I want to say that I'm newbie in Sharepoint and PowerPivot.
I've created powerPivot workbook and uploaded on Sharepoint PowerPivot Gallery. I also created data refreshing schedule.
But when I try to open uploaded workbook I get an error:
An error has occurred.
Please try again later.
When I check refreshing schedule status, there is "succeeded" but I can't open the workbook.
Does anyone know what is the reason of the issue and how to resolve it?
Thank you in advance.
Konrad

This can occur when a calculation on one or more pages encounters an error. Try looking at each page, including hidden pages, to see if there are any calculation errors in your pivot tables.

I created PowerPivot Gallery Site on Central Administration and I didn't have right for using excel application service on CA. That was the reason, why I couldn't open the workbook.

Unable to refresh powerpivot data in sharepoint

I have a SSAS cube and I would like to create some reports using excel out of the data. Since creating a report directly from the cube involved some performance issues, I loaded the data from the cube into Power pivot and then created reports on top of the power pivot data.
Now, when I upload my excel report to power pivot gallery of sharepoint 2013, I am not able to refresh the data manually as well as automatically (via a schedule). I get the error:
"An error occurred while working on the Data Model in the workbook. Please try again.
We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook.
The following connections failed to refresh"
When scheduling the report, I get the error:
"Call to Excel Services returned an error"
Can any one help me to solve this issue please!
Thanks in advance
Have you set up credentials in the Secure Store? Make sure you have set SERVER\POWERPIVOT in Manage Service Applications -> Excel Services Application - Data Model Settings.
Also, check ULS logs and post what you might find there.

Wow, that's a big workbook. Unfortunately, we can't open a workbook larger than 10 MB

I use Share Point 2013 and PowerPivot Service .
I create a report in Excel and Upload my report in SharePoint Document but when I want visit this report in my SharePoint web site, I get this error :
Wow, that's a big workbook. Unfortunately,
we can't open a workbook larger than 10 MB.
You'll need to open this in Excel.
How I can change max size of Excel Report in sharepoint?
I’m not sure if you ever got the response you needed but here it is.
FYI The posted before told you how to change the upload size restriction (can I upload a 10mb doc/xls or a 1GB doc/xls) and not how to correct the workbook setting within Central Admin so that that display a workbook in a web part (browser) using Excel Services.
Log in to Central Admin as a Farm Administrator
Click “Application Management” in the left nav.
Click “Manage service applications” under Service Applications.
Click “Excel Services Application” next to “Excel Services Application Web Service Application” Note: not the item in grey under this.. You want the blue item.
Click the “Trusted File Locations” link and then select the reports library or document library your web part is calling or where the files are.
Scroll down to “Workbook Properties” and change the ‘Maximum Workbook Size” if it’s set to 10mb’s try and change it to 50 or 100mb’s and save the change.
Go back to the page with the reports web part and refresh it.
This should fix your issue with “This workbook is larger than the maximum workbook size allowed to be opened in the browser" and Excel Services in SharePoint 2010.
Here’s a link to help you out.

Sharepoint 2013 Excel Services not rendering Power View reports inside a workbook

We want to be able to publish Excel 2013 workbooks containing Power View reports into SharePoint 2013 and see them via Excel Services application.
Currently instead of the actual report we see the default Power View error page without any error message or log entry.
Here is some additional information:
1. The rest of the workbook (regular excel and powerpivot sheets) is rendered correctly.
2. Power View reports created inside SharePoint document libraries (RDLX reports) are rendered correctly.
3. PowerPivot and Power View are reconfigured and veryfied according to official step-by-step guides.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what we might miss or done wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I did a lot of debugging and could finally find a related error message. It's a NullReferenceException in Microsoft.AnalysisServices.SPAddin.ReportGallery.SnapshotHandler.RegisterGlobalExtensionHandlers() method. This exception is thrown only once after application pool reset and when I upload an XLSX workbook to a document library.
I checked the method code in .NET Reflector and seems I've found the section where the exception is being thrown.
CustomCaptureSection customCaptureSection = (CustomCaptureSection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("ReportGalleryCustomCapture");
SnapshotHandler.MaxSnapshotsCount = customCaptureSection.MaxSnapshotsCount;
SnapshotHandler.SnapshotCaptureTimeoutS = (long)((int)customCaptureSection.SnapshotCaptureTimeoutSeconds);
SnapshotHandler.CreateProcessMethodForSnapshot = customCaptureSection.CreateProcessMethodForSnapshot;
In my understanding, runtime is not able to get that section from configuration. I tried to find the section name in SharePoint hive and inetpub but with no luck. Is there another place I can look for configuration files? Or can someone verify that this section exists at all?
Thanks.
If the workbook is stores on premise, your host config is in Office Web Apps Server view mode (SharePoint Server configured to render workbooks by using Office Web Apps Server), and your workbook is opened in the Excel Web App power view sheets are not visible. Is this the mode you're in? They're also not visible on Skydrive.

Error while opening excel pivot table report from sharepoint 2010

I made a pivot table report using excel 2010 that retrieving data from shareportint 2010 list, the report is working fine in excel but when I uploaded it to document library and put it in web part to view from share point it showing me this error :
Unable to refresh data for a data connection in the workbook.
Try again or contact your system administrator. The following connections failed to refresh:
owssvr[1]
what should I do to resolve this error?
Thanks.
You should refer to this artice in MSDN when working with external data connections within an Excel workbook. Before publishing the workbook into SharePoint you must make sure the connection belongs among the set of (administrator-defined) trusted connections.
I got a similar error when trying to refresh data in an Excel Web Part using SharePoint 2010.
Here is the screenshot of my error:
SharePoint Error
My problem was that I was setting the source of the Excel Pivot tables directly to the SharePoint list. In order to get it to work I had to:
Go to the SharePoint list to be used as a data source
Select the "Export to Excel" button to obtain the .iqy file
Save this file then open it in Excel which will open the list in Excel
Any pivot tables created must then use this table as the source, not the connection that is found under the "existing connections" button in Excel
