    Looking at what you have in the dialog it could be one of two things:

     

    1. The name of the server has to be the server name for the Analysis Server machine, you have myreportserver. Do you have Analysis Services installed on that machine?
    2. If you do have Analysis Services installed on that machine then you may have AS installed under a different instance name. If that is the case you will need to include the instance name in the server name (ServerName\InstanceName)?

    Once you have a valid AS Server name and instance in the box the option should no longer be grayed out.
