Answer 1

You need to make sure you have the PerformancePoint Service configured correctly.

Configure Secure Store Service Application: generate a new key and create a pass phrase.
Make sure you have created an unattended service account for PerformancePoint. Under Application Management, go to Manage service applications. Click PerformancePoint Service Application Settings and enter the user name and password of your unattended service account in the Secure Store and Unattended Service Account area.

PerformancePoint is different than some of the other applications: it creates its own Secure Store account.

You should now be able to create your data source, assuming your unattended service account has permissions to whatever data source you are trying to access.
