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 perform transf

Sort by metric subtotals and attribute elements together in Microstrategy

Sort by metric subtotals and attribute elements together in Microstrategy Users may observer that when creating a report that contains advance sorting with a metric that contains subtotals the report results appear to be only sorted by the metric values specified. Even if a sort is specified for the attribute elements on the report, the results in the report appear as if the attribute sort was not defined. In the screenshot below, the results for a report are shown where the Advance Sorting option 'Sort metrics hierarchically using: Total' is selected. For this report, a second sort is defined on the Customer Gender - 'DESC' form, users would notice that the ordering of the this attribute is not consistent: The sort definition for the report is shown below: CAUSE: When the option to 'Sort metrics hierarchically using: Total' option is selected, the MicroStrategy Engine first sorts the results based on the Total values, and then sorts th

Sending an email in MSTR where the results of a report are in the email body as HTML content and a different report/document is an attachment to the same email in MicroStrategy

Is it possible to send an email using Distribution Services where the results of a report are in the email body as HTML content and a different report/document in MSTR? ANSWER: It is currently not possible to send an email using Distribution Services where the results of a report are in the email body as HTML content and a different report/document is an attachment to the same email in MicroStrategy 9.x. An enhancement request has been logged for this feature. ACTION: Contact Microstrategy Technical Support for an update on the enhancement, I have contacted but nobody knows where the request is

Apply or Pass-through functions in Microstrategy

Ap ply (Pass-Through) functions MSTR Apply functions provide access to functions or syntactic constructs that are not standard in MicroStrategy but are provided by various RDBMS systems.. Syntax common to Apply functions Apply Function Name ("expression with placeholders", Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, …ArgN) where: Apply Function Name – is a generic name used for the predefined pass-through functions described above expression with placeholders – is the string describing the actual expression or syntax that the engine uses while generating the SQL and which is sent to the RDBMS. The placeholders are represented by #0, #1, and so on. "#" is a reserved character for MicroStrategy. Arg – is an argument that replaces the parameter markers in the pattern. Arg1 replaces #0, Arg2 replaces #1, and so on. There are five pre-defined Apply functions to replace regular, predefined functions of the same type. For more details, click the link co

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://webserver/Mi

Control the display of null and zero metric values

Show 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

Components of the MicroStrategy Engine

Components of the MicroStrategy Engine The MicroStrategy Engine consists of three engines: • SQL Engine • Query Engine • Analytical Engine These individual engines work together to fulfill report requests submitted by MicroStrategy that can be resolved by pure SQL alone. The SQL Engine is responsible for generating optimized SQL and producing result sets that can be resolved by pure SQL alone. The Query Engine is responsible for executing the SQL generated by the SQL Engine. The Analytical Engine is responsible for performing any calculation that cannot be resolved with SQL alone.
