Control the display of null and zero metric values

Control the display of null and zero metric values in a grid report

You can determine how to display or hide rows and columns in a grid report that consist only of null or zero metric values. You can have MicroStrategy hide the rows and columns in the following ways:

Hide rows and columns that consist only of null metric values
Hide rows and columns that consist only of zero metric values
Hide rows and columns that consist only of null or zero metric values (default)

Once you have defined how MicroStrategy hides null and zero metric values in the grid, you can quickly show or hide the grid using the Hide Nulls/Zeros option in the Data menu, as described below, or by clicking the Hide Nulls/Zeros icon in the Data toolbar.

To determine how null and zero metric values are displayed or hidden in a grid report

Open the report in Edit mode.
From the Tools menu, select Report Options. The Report Options dialog box opens.
To determine how MicroStrategy hides null and zero metric values in the grid, on the General tab, select the Hide Null/Zero Toggle Behavior check box. From the drop-down list, select one of the following:

To hide rows and columns that consist only of null or zero metric values, select Hide Nulls or Zeroes (default).
To hide rows and columns that consist only of null metric values, select Hide Nulls Only.
To hide rows and columns that consist only of zero metric values, select Hide Zeros Only.

Click OK to apply your changes, then click the grid to select it.
To determine whether null and zero metric values are displayed or hidden in the grid, from the Data menu, select one of the following:

To hide rows and columns containing null metric values, zero metric values, or both as defined in the steps above, select the Hide Nulls/Zeros option.
To display all rows and columns in the grid, including those that consist only of null or zero metric values, clear the Hide Nulls/Zeros option.

Microstrategy Dossiers explained

Microstrategy Dossiers With the release of MicroStrategy 10.9, we’ve taken a leap forward in our dashboarding capabilities by simplifying the user experience, adding storytelling, and collaboration.MSTR has evolved dashboards to the point that they are more than dashboards - they are interactive, collaborative analytic stories . Ultimately, it was time to go beyond dashboards, both in concept and in name, and so the've renamed VI dashboards to ‘ dossiers ’. Dossiers can be created by using the new Desktop product or Workstation or simply from the Web interface which replaces Visual Insights. All the existing visual Insights dashboards will be converted to Dossiers With MicroStrategy 10.9, there was an active focus on making it easier to build dashboards for the widest audience of end users. To achieve this, some key new capabilities were added that make it easier to author, read, interact and collaborate on dashboards ...

MicroStrategy URL API Parameters

MicroStrategy URL Structure The following table summarizes the root URL structure used for every request to MicroStrategy Web. Environment Main Application URL Administration URL J2EE http://webserver/MicroStrategy/servlet/mstrWeb http://webserver/MicroStrategy/servlet/mstrWebAdmin .NET http://webserver/MicroStrategy/asp/Main.aspx http://webserver/MicroStrategy/asp/Admin.aspx Every request sent to MicroStrategy Web calls a central controller. Parameters are appended to Main.aspx or mstrWeb (in a .NET and J2EE environment, respectively) to indicate to the controller how the request should be internally forwarded and handled. The following examples show a URL for accessing a MicroStrategy folder when the user does not have an existing session. The URL contains not only the parameters needed to connect to MicroStrategy Web, but also the parameters needed to log on and create a session. J2EE environment: <a href="http:...

Microstrategy Dashboard performance improvements steps

Microstrategy Dashboard performance improvements steps: Many times, causes of poor performance can be simplified to specific components. To troubleshoot performance issues, users must identify these components, then make the appropriate modifications to the environment and/or to the MicroStrategy dashboard to reduce bottlenecks. Dashboard execution stages can be represented below: MicroStrategy Intelligence Server When an end user makes a Document Execution Request through any client (a web browser via MicroStrategy Web, the MicroStrategy Desktop/Developer client, the MicroStrategy Mobile app, or the MicroStrategy Office client), the request is sent to the MicroStrategy Intelligence Server, which processes the request and prepares the response. The MicroStrategy Intelligence Server will execute all children datasets on the dashboard by either generating SQL and running this against the data warehouse, or by fetching data from a cache. The Inte...

Partition Key Selection guidelines in MicroStrategy

Partition Key Selection guidelines MicroStrategy The partition attribute is typically dictated by specific application needs. Below are some general guidelines for identifying a good partition attribute. Some of the largest fact tables in the application are typically good candidates for partitioning and thus influence the choice of the partition attribute. Data should be partitioned in such a way that it allows for the most number of partitions to be involved in any question that is asked of the application. Attributes that are frequently used for filtering or selections do not make for good partition attributes. The partition attribute should allow for near uniform distribution of data across the partitions, so that the workload on each partition is evenly distributed. To support best dashboard execution and concurrency performance, MicroStrategy has chosen to limit the number of logical CPUs engaged for any single grid evaluation to 4 . Columns on which some of the larger...

Enable Incremental fetch in MSTR documents

Enable Incremental fetch in MSTR documents Incremental fetch divides large documents or layouts into pages, thereby loading the data in batches (or blocks) rather than all at the same time. This improves the usability and performance of a large document or layout, by reducing the load and overall memory usage on the web server. To apply incremental fetch to a document In MicroStrategy Web, open the document in the Document Editor. If the document contains multiple layouts, select the layout to apply incremental fetch to. From the Tools menu, choose Document Properties . The Document Properties dialog box opens. On the left, under Layout Properties, select Advanced . Select the Enable Incremental Fetch check box. From the Fetch Level drop-down list, select the object to be counted for the incremental fetch level. If the document or layout is grouped, the groups are displayed in the drop-down list. Groups that are displayed...
