Explanation
Excel Web Access shows this error when you open a PowerPivot workbook in a browser and you click the Details button for the message, Unsupported Features This workbook may not display as intended.
This error occurs because the PowerPivot workbook contains Slicers whose layout is controlled by a hidden Shape object in Excel. The Shape object controls the formatting and positioning of the Slicers in horizontal and vertical placements.
Excel Services cannot render a Shape object, but because the object is hidden, the fact that it does not render is not an issue.
User Action
This error can be ignored. Click OK to close the error message and proceed to use the workbook and Slicers with no problem.
Internal-Only
None.
