Saving a personal view of a report, document, or quick dashboard

A personal view allows you to save your own custom view of a report, document, or quick dashboard. The personal view includes every change that you made to the report, document, or quick dashboard since you opened it, including:

  • Creating metrics
  • Filtering
  • Pivoting
  • Sorting
  • Prompt answers for a report or document
  • The items that you chose in the selectors of a document
A complete copy of the report, document, or quick dashboard is not saved. Using personal views allows different users to display their preferred data, while still having access to all the available data.
For example, a different selector item can be selected in each selector for each user when he opens a document. A document displays sales and inventory data by region. A selector allows a user to choose which region to display. For the Northeast's regional sales manager, the selector is set to Northeast, so that only Northeast data is displayed in the document. For the Southeast's regional sales manager, the selector is set to Southeast, so that only Southeast data is displayed in the document. Both managers can change the selector, to display all regions or a different region, but by default, when they open their personal view of the document, the data relevant to them is displayed. As another example, you can use personal views to save prompt answers so that you do not have to answer the prompts when you re-run a report or document.

To create a personal view

    •   
  1. Click the name of the report, document, or quick dashboard to run it.

    Note: For a document, you can also create a personal view in Design Mode. The personal view saves document manipulations such as sorting and items chosen in selectors, not document design changes such as moving or adding controls.
  2. Personalize the report, document, or quick dashboard, including answering prompts, choosing items in selectors, pivoting, and so on.
  3. Click the Create Personal View icon Create Personal View icon on the toolbar. The Create Personal View dialog box opens.
  4. Type the Name of the personal view.
  5. Click OK. Your personal view subscription is saved, and you are returned to the report, document, or quick dashboard. A message is displayed at the top of the report, document, or quick dashboard, confirming that the personal view is saved.
    • To view your personal view subscriptions, click the subscription link in the confirmation message. The My Subscriptions page is displayed, with a list of the reports, documents, and quick dashboards to which you are subscribed. Your personal view is displayed in the Personal View Subscriptions area.

To run a personal view

    •   
  1. From the upper left of any page, click the MicroStrategy icon MicroStrategy icon, then select My Subscriptions. The My Subscriptions page opens and displays a list of your subscriptions and personal views.

Fact tables levels tables in Microstrategy explained

Fact tables levels in Microstrategy: Fact tables are used to store fact data. Fact tables should contain attribute Id's and fact values which are measurable. All the descriptive information about the fact tables should stored in Dimension tables either in Star Schema fashion or Snow Flake Schema fashion which is best suited to your reporting solution. Since attributes provide context for fact values, both fact columns and attribute ID columns are included in fact tables. Facts help to link indirectly related attributes using these attribute ID columns. The attribute ID columns included in a fact table represent the level at which the facts in that table are stored. So the level of a fact table in the Fact_Item_Day_Customer can be the attribute Id's which is at Day, Item & Customer Id level. For example, fact tables containing sales and inventory data look like the tables shown in the following diagram: Base fact columns ver...

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.

Settings for Outer Join between metrics in MicroStrategy

Settings for Outer Join between metrics in MicroStrategy MicroStrategy adopts multi-pass logic to determine the execution plan for a report. This means that every metric is evaluated in separate SQL passes. Outer Joins come into play when MicroStrategy Engine merges the results from all SQL passes into one report. For a multi-pass report, different Outer Join behaviors can give the user completely different results. In addition, report metrics can be of different types which can, in some cases, influence the result of the outer join. In MicroStrategy, there are two settings that users can access to control Outer Join behavior : Formula Join Type and Metric Join Type . Metric Join Type: VLDB Setting at Database Instance Level Report and Template Levels Report Editor > Data > Report Data Options Metric Level   Metric editor > Tools > Metric Join Type Control Join between Metrics Formula Join Type: Only at Compound/Split...
