Excel services - Access denied
Having a play with excel services and kpis.
Added a trusted file location and then added a excel web access web part to a new page. No problem.
Now I am trying to create a "kpi list"
I supply the url for the workbook but when I click the button to specify the cells/range and kpi values I get an access denied problem.
The trusted location is a UNC location where domain users have full control.
Sooo I uploaded the document to a document library and put that in my web part, like the other it displays fine.
So I go back to create a kpi list and have exactly the same problem.
What have I missed? I am farm/collection admin and the site creator.
The excel file (both the unc one and the one I uploaded) was created by myself.

I don't see anything about excel services in that area (see image).
If I click through to either of these links I see web app settings but nothing about Excel services.

Found where (I think) you meant under SharedServices1
I change it to use the process acount, went back and still got access denied

I have this in the windows event viewer for excel calculation services
Failed to load 'http://xxxx/BI/Documents/Weekdays.xlsx' with error: 'The workbook is not in a trusted location.'.

I have added it as a trusted location and am able to show the spreadsheet in a web part so I'm not sure why it's complaining?
