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 condition,

Non Aggregate metrics Beginning lookup, Ending lookup, Beginning fact., Ending fact

Non Aggregate metrics  Beginning lookup,  Ending lookup,  Beginning fact .,  Ending fact A nonaggregatable metric, such as an inventory metric, is one that should not be aggregated across an attribute.   For example, if you have monthly inventory numbers in your data warehouse and want to calculate the yearly inventory, adding the monthly numbers together does not provide a useful business measure. Instead, you may want to use the end-on-hand and beginning-on-hand inventory numbers to see how the total inventory changed during the year.  The following options are available: • To use the first value in the lookup table, select  Beginning lookup . • To use the last value in the lookup table, select  Ending lookup . • To use the first value in the fact table, select  Beginning fact . • To use the last value in the fact table, select  Ending fact .

Scheduling a report or document to be sent to an FTP in MSTR

Scheduling a report or document to be sent to an FTP server You can have a report or document automatically delivered to a location on your FTP server on a specific schedule. To do so, you must subscribe to the report or document, as described in the steps below. You can customize your subscription by typing macros in the  File Name ,  Sub-folder , or  Zip File Name  fields.
