Case functions Microstrategy

Ca se functions Microstrategy Case functions return specified data in a SQL query based on the evaluation of user-defined conditions. In general, a user specifies a list of conditions and corresponding return values. 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.

Microstrategy Report Execution Process

The Report Execution Process Report execution process at a high level: The report execution process is a three-step process: 1. Query Stage : Retrieve data from the warehouse 2. Populate and Evaluate : Fill report data required for display 3. Cross-tab : Pivot and display sorting and page-by Each of the engines plays an important part in the report execution process. As you can imagine, the SQL Engine performs its role during the Query stage while the Query Engine and Analytical Engine can be involved in all three stages.

Components of the MicroStrategy Engine

Components of the MicroStrategy Engine The MicroStrategy Engine is built on three core components that work together to process report requests efficiently: SQL Engine Query Engine Analytical Engine MicroStrategy Engine architecture overview Each engine handles a specific stage of report execution: SQL Engine: Generates optimized SQL and returns result sets for requests that can be fully resolved by SQL. Query Engine: Executes the SQL statements generated by the SQL Engine against the data source. Analytical Engine: Performs advanced calculations and processing that cannot be completed using SQL alone. Together, these components deliver fast, scalable, and accurate business intelligence reporting.

Client Rendering Optimizations for Dashboard Performance Optimizations

The amount of data retrieved and objects being used in a Report Services Dashboard have a direct impact in the size of the final Dashboard. The bigger the Dashboard size the longer it will take to be prepared, be sent to the client, and render. Client Rendering Once the data reaches the end user's browser window the data has to be formatted according to the definition of the Dashboard as specified in the formatting set by the architect. To do so the browser will have to either build the HTML page in DHTML mode or initialize the flash container and parse the XML. Client rendering greatly varies depending on the hardware used. More powerful machines will render dashboard faster for a list of recommended client hardware specifications please refer to the Readme File for the specific version of MicroStrategy. Optimization Techniques common to DHTML and Flash Client rendering time greatly relies in the amount of XML that needs to be parsed. In order to ensure that...

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...
