Causes:
This error message occurs when you are trying to create a thumbnail for a report with hidden tabs. A common case for this would be where the Data Settings have been deleted from a report, but the hidden tabs for Data Settings and Interface still exist.
Resolution:
To correct the issue, follow these steps:
- Save a copy of this report.
- Right click on Sheet1.
- Select Unhide.
- Choose DataSettings.
- Right click on the DataSettings.
- Select Delete.
- Go through steps 2 through 6 for Interface as well.
When you have this done, save the report and re-upload it to Portal. You should now be able to use thumbnails for your report.
