MSTR Report Pre and Post Statements

Report Post Statement

The Report Post Statement settings insert custom SQL statements after the final SELECT statement but before the DROP statements. The settings are numbered 1-5. Each text string entered in Report Post Statement 1 through Report Post Statement 4 is executed separately as a single statement. To execute more than five statements, insert multiple statements in Report Post Statement 5, separating each statement with a semicolon (;). The SQL Engine breaks them into individual statements at the semicolons and executes each separately. The custom SQL is applied to every intermediate table or view.

Report Pre Statement

The Report Pre Statement settings insert custom SQL statements at the beginning of the report SQL. The settings are numbered 1-5. Each text string entered in Report Pre Statement 1 through Report Pre Statement 4 is executed separately as a single statement. To execute more than five statements, insert multiple statements in Report Pre Statement 5, separating each statement with a semicolon (;). The SQL Engine breaks them into individual statements at the semicolons and executes each separately.

Table Post Statement

Each text string entered in Table Post Statement 1 through Table Post Statement 4 is executed separately as a single statement. To execute more than five statements, insert multiple statements in Table Post Statement 5, separating each statement with a semicolon (;). The SQL Engine breaks them into individual statements at the semicolons and executes each separately. The custom SQL is applied to every intermediate table or view

Relationship with Report Filter options for Levels metrics

Relationship with Report Filter options for Levels metrics You can define how the report filter affects the metric calculation. From the Relationship with Report Filter drop-down list, select one of the following: • To include only data that meets the conditions in the report filter in the metric calculation, select Standard filtering . • To raise the level of the report filter to the level of the target, if possible, then apply the report filter to the metric calculation, select Absolute filtering . For example, the report filter contains the Washington, DC, Boston, and New York call centers, but the Revenue metric is calculated at the Region level. Because Call Center is a child attribute of Region, the report filter's level is raised to the Region level, and the report filter is treated as if it includes the regions that contain Washington, DC, Boston, and New York (in this case, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast). Data from all call centers in the Mid-At...

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...
