Aaron: If this is the RTM version of PowerPivot for SharePoint, another possibility is that you don’t have any data yet to review. Give the system a day or so, or manually configure it to collect the usage data more often than daily and the control may start working. There is a knwown bug that it cannot render data (and thus the Red X) until there is data to render and the default Usage systemm timer jobs are configured to run daily. If you want to poke around my blog, you will see that I published a “how to configure Usage to run more often than daily” that might help, but by the time you read this, your 24 hr window may already be passed

Hope this helps.

I’m also having this problem. I do see the “loading history for workbook history bubble chart” error, and when I check installed programs, I see Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services ADOMD.NET version 10.0.1600.60 installed.
I downloaded what looks like the latest version from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=CEB4346F-657F-4D28-83F5-AAE0C5C83D52&displaylang=en and this installed version 10.1.2531.0, which hasn’t fixed the problem.

Any other ideas, or where can I find version 10.50.x?

SharePoint and SQL Services are installed on the same box by the way.

This looks like another configuration issue here.

I got the dreaded red X too. In my case it was a Locale issue due to the date format here (dd/mm/yy). The ULS file had this entry:
EXCEPTION: System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime. at System.DateTimeParse.Parse(String s, DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi, DateTimeStyles styles) at System.Convert.ToDateTime(String value) at Microsoft.AnalysisServices.SharePoint.Integration.WorkbookHistoryDataProvider.GetHistory(WorkbookHistoryDataSet& historyDataSet) at Microsoft.AnalysisServices.SharePoint.Integration.WebServices.PowerPivotOperationsServiceImpl.GetWorkbookHistory(WorkbookHistoryDataSet& history)
