I was getting the following error with PerformancePoint recently…
Unable to retrieve list.

I had recently enabled more than one authentication provider for my web application which contains
the list, and I think in order for PerformancePoint to retrieve list data from SharePoint, the list url needs
to be a url that is only windows authentication, not Forms or SAML. It is also worthwhile to try to open
the list url inside a browser opened from the server running PerformancePoint – most likely an
application server. If you can browse the list data logged in as either end user accounts or the
unattended service account, using windows authentication from the application server running
PerformancePoint, you should be good to go.
Here are some similar errors that should have the same solutions
