Microstrategy removing rows with Zero metric values

Microstrategy removing rows with Zero metric values If there are more than one metric and want to remove the rows with Zero metric values. There are several ways to do this but I guess the easiest one will be creating a Metric which is the sum of all the metrics to be used in the report. Such as Sum Metric = Metric 1 + Metric 2 + Metric 3 +........... The Sum Metric should be included in the report and it can be controlled by any of the ways below: 1) Adding a view filter to the report where  Sum Metric != 0 which will bring only non zero values 2) Creating a filter definition prompt with the  Sum Metric , so that when the rpeort is prompted user cans elect  Sum Metric value is >0 . Or we can jsut had code the filter  Sum Metric >0 if we want to pre-filter the report with non zero rows for all the metrics in the report. We can also use the report limits with metric values >0 with an and condition between each metric c...

Microstrategy Report Services documents and dashboards

Microstrategy Report Services documents vs Dashboards A MicroStrategy Report Services document displays data coming from multiple reports, with the data laid out and designed in presentation-quality format. Most data on a document is from one or more underlying datasets. A dataset is a standard MicroStrategy report. Other document components that do not originate from the dataset, such as static text used for a title or heading, page numbers, and images, are added by the document's designer and are stored in the document's definition. A Report Services (RS) dashboard is a special type of document. An RS dashboard is commonly only one page long, is intended to be viewed online, and usually provides interactive features that let analysts change how they view the dashboard’s data, as well as what data they are viewing. A broad selection of widgets and a wide variety of formatting options allow you to design a customized, interactive dashboard. Both documents and RS dashb...
