Black screen when exploring SSAS connection

I setup a connection to my Tabular SSAS server.  I think the connection was semi successful as I saw the list of cubes and was able to pick a cube for the connection.  The problem is that when I try to explore the connection and make reports, all I get is a black designer screen and no error messages.  I went back to the SSAS server and checked for errors in the event log and didn't find any errors.  Anyone run into this issue?

I goofed.  It's working now.  I forgot to add dashboard sheet and once I did, the designer for the data source became active and am able to browse the dimensions and measures of my tabular cube.  This issue is resolved.
