Creating and attribute with a form with Image URL

Image URL Attribute:

<IMG src="../images/1.png" height=80 width=400>

Concat("../images/Dash/", Id, ".png")

ApplySimple(" '<img src=../images/Dash/'+ltrim(str(#0))+'.png height=120 width=120>' ", Id)

IF((StudioName = "OURS"), "Ours", "Competitive")

ApplySimple(" '<img src=../images/Dash/'+str(#0)+'.png>' ", Id)
ApplySimple( " '<img src=images/Dash/'+ltrim(str(#0))+'.png>' ", Id)
ApplySimple("'<img src= './images/Dash/#0.png' height='120' width='163'>' ", Id)

ApplySimple("'<img src=' x'7f' 'http://172.26.18.10/WEBSERVER/arrow.gif' x' 7f' ' OnClick=' x'7f' 'Javascript&colon;alert(' x'7D' #0 x'7D' ') ' x'7f' '>' " #0; ATTRIBUTE_NAME)

ApplySimple(" '<img src=http://localhost/MicroStrategy/images/'+Cstr(#0)+'.jpg>' "; )

ApplySimple("case when #0 = 'chicago' then '<font color=red>' + #0 + '</font>' else #0 end", [City])

ApplySimple("'<img src=' + #0 + '>  ' + #1", [Object_Image], [Object_Desc])

In MicroStrategy Web, image set as "Picture" type attribute form does not auto fit to the size of report grid in MicroStrategy Web. It displays as the original image size.

1. Resize the image itself to fit the desired display effect;

2. If resize image is not feasible, use HTML tag type attribute form instead of use Picture type

In HTML tag, use <img src=xxx HEIGHT= WIDTH= /> to define the image URL and size.

Possible Causes:

This is working as designed in MicroStrategy Web.

How to Fix:

An enhancement request has been logged to add this feature into MicroStrategy Web.

WORKAROUND:

1. Resize the image itself to fit the desired display effect;

2. If resize image is not feasible, use HTML tag type attribute form instead of use Picture type

In HTML tag, use <img src=xxx HEIGHT= WIDTH= /> to define the image URL and size.

Case This function evaluates multiple expressions until a condition is determined to be true, then returns a corresponding value. If all conditions are false, a default value is returned. Case can be used for categorizing data based on multiple conditions. This is a single-value function. Syntax Case ( Condition1 , ReturnValue1 , Condition2 , ReturnValue2 ,..., DefaultValue ) Example Case(([Total Revenue] < 300000), 0, ([Total Revenue] < 600000), 1, 2) sum(Case (Day@DESC in (“Sat”,”Sun”), Sales, 0) {~+} Sum(Case(Category@DESC In("Books","Electronics"),Revenue,0)){~+} CaseV (case vector) CaseV evaluates a single metric and returns different values according to the results. It can be used to perfo...

Prompt-in-prompt(Nested Prompts) in Microstrategy

Prompt-in-prompt(Nested Prompts) in Microstrategy Nested prompts allows you to create one prompt based on the other and other bases on another, nested prompts allows us to prompt the highest level(Like year) to middle level(like Quarter, then to the low level(like Month). Here you can see how to create a 3-level deep nested prompt that will prompt the user to select a year, then a quarter within that year, then a month within that quarter. Prompt-in-prompt is a feature in which the answer to one prompt is used to define another prompt. This feature is only implemented for element list prompts . The following procedure describes how to achieve this: Create the highest level filter. This is a filter which contains a prompt on an attribute element list. Create a filter on the attribute "Year."

Derived metric based on attribute values

Derived metric based on attribute values Here is how could create and display data correctly on using below simple steps. Create a report with Category, Subcategory and Revenue. Create New Metric in a report or VI. Case((Category@ID = 1), Revenue, 0) Booksand Name it as Revenue for where 2 is Category ID for "Books" Report will display result as below. Result for new metric is blank. Now to fix this create a new Derived metric on Category attribute first with formula as Max(Category) {~ } and calling Books Now Edit the "Revenue for Books metric and Replace Category@ID with this new Books metric formula would looks like this Case((Books = 1), Revenue, 0). Report result would now display as expected as shown below

"System Prompt" and its uses in MicroStrategy

System Prompt and its uses in MicroStrategy WHAT IS A "SYSTEM PROMPT"? "System Prompt" is a system object that was introduced back in version 8.0.0. The object is named as "User Login" and is implemented as a prompt object. The object can be found under Public Objects > Prompts > System prompts, as shown below: Unlike ordinary prompt objects, system prompts don't require any answers from the user. When a report containing a system prompt runs, the prompt is answered automatically with the login of the user who runs the report. On the other hand, like other prompt objects, answers to system prompts are used to match caches. Therefore, users don't share caches for reports that contain system prompts. For details on how caches are matched, refer to the following MicroStrategy Knowledge Base document: KB5300-7X0-0147 - How are caches matched in MicroStrategy Intelligence Server 7.x? WHEN ARE SYSTEM PROMPTS USED? System pr...

Configure a report for use with Bulk Export in MicroStrategy

Configure a report for use with Bulk Export in MicroStrategy The Bulk Export feature enables a large report to be saved as a delimited text file. Using this feature, it is possible to retrieve result sets from a large dataset without having to load the entire dataset into memory. PS: Once a report is setup for bulk export it cannot be used as a regular report. So if the report needs to be run as a normal report and as a bulk export report, the first step is to make a copy of the report for use with bulk export. Configure Bulk Export Bulk Export options are only available in MicroStrategy Developer. Open a 3-tier connection using MicroStrategy Developer and edit the desired report. Go to 'Data' on the top menu bar. Select 'Configure Bulk Export': Specify any additional desired configuration options.
