MSTR The key specified is the true key for the warehouse table

The screen shot below illustrates the setting "The key specified is the true key for the warehouse table" in the logical view of a warehouse table:
external image rtaImage?eid=ka1440000009HBu&feoid=00N44000006TPNo&refid=0EM440000002FzU
This setting is only applicable when the attributes on the template are comprised of all the attributes listed as table keys in the logical view of the fact table. Therefore, when checked, this setting forces the Structured Query Language (SQL) to not aggregate the data and to pull only from the fact tables directly.The following SQL demonstrates the difference between two identical reports when this setting is checked and when it is not. The report SQL is provided below the grid view.The first report was run against the fact table City_Subcateg_Sls without the "The key specified is the true key for the warehouse table" checked. It demonstrates aggregation by the metric:
select a11.CUST_CITY_ID CUST_CITY_ID,

max(a12.CUST_CITY_NAME) CUST_CITY_NAME,

a11.SUBCAT_ID SUBCAT_ID,

max(a13.SUBCAT_DESC) SUBCAT_DESC,

sum(a11.TOT_COST) COST

from CITY_SUBCATEG_SLS a11

join LU_CUST_CITY a12

on (a11.CUST_CITY_ID = a12.CUST_CITY_ID)

join LU_SUBCATEG a13

on (a11.SUBCAT_ID = a13.SUBCAT_ID)

group by a11.CUST_CITY_ID,

a11.SUBCAT_ID

The following SQL demonstrates that by having all the keys from the fact table on the report template, the setting "The key specified is the true key for the warehouse table" allows the metric to return the values straight from the fact table without aggregation. This optimizes the SQL generated considerably:

select a11.CUST_CITY_ID CUST_CITY_ID,

a12.CUST_CITY_NAME CUST_CITY_NAME,

a11.SUBCAT_ID SUBCAT_ID,

a13.SUBCAT_DESC SUBCAT_DESC,

a11.TOT_COST COST

from CITY_SUBCATEG_SLS a11

join LU_CUST_CITY a12

on (a11.CUST_CITY_ID = a12.CUST_CITY_ID)

join LU_SUBCATEG a13

on (a11.SUBCAT_ID = a13.SUBCAT_ID)

Best practices for using Distribution Services in Microstrategy

Best practices for using Distribution Services MicroStrategy recommends the following best practices when scheduling Distribution Services subscriptions, in addition to the best practices given above: • For best results, follow the steps listed in  High-level checklist to set up a report delivery system . • PDF, plain text, and CSV file formats generally offer the fastest delivery performance. Performance can vary, depending on items including your hardware, operating system, network connectivity, and so on. • The performance of the print delivery method depends on the speed of the printer. • When sending very large reports or documents: ▫ Enable the zipping feature for the subscription so that files are smaller. ▫ Use bulk export instead of the CSV file format. Details on bulk exporting are in the  Reports  chapter of the  Advanced Reporting Guide . ▫ Schedule subscription deliveries to occur when your Intelligence Server is experiencing low ...

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

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." Click "prompt on attribute element list" and click "Next" through the rest of the screens to accept the default values. Do not set any additio...

Types of prompts in Microstrategy

Types of prompts in Microstrategy The different types of prompts allow you to create a  prompt  for nearly every part of a report. Prompts can be used in many objects including reports, filters, metrics, and custom groups, but all prompts require user interaction when the report is executed. The correct prompt type to create depends on what report objects you want users to be able to base a filter on to filter data, as described in the list below. Filter definition prompts   allow users to determine how the report's data is filtered, based on one of the following objects: Attributes in a hierarchy : Users can select prompt answers from one or more attribute elements from one or more attributes. The attribute elements that they select are used to filter data displayed on the report. This prompt lets you give users the largest number of attribute elements to choose from when they answer the prompt to define their filtering criteria. For example, on a repor...

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. It can be used to perfo...
