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

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

Microstrategy Caches explained

Microstrategy Caches Improving Response Time: Caching A  cache is a result set that is stored on a system to improve response time in future requests.  With caching, users can retrieve results from Intelligence Server rather than re-executing queries against a database. To delete all object caches for a project 1 In Developer, log into a project. You must log in with a user account that has administrative privileges. 2 From the  Administration  menu, point to  Projects , and then select  Project Configuration . The Project Configuration Editor opens. 3 Expand  Caching , expand  Auxiliary Caches , then select  Objects . To delete all configuration object caches for a server 1 Log in to the project source. 2 From the  Administration  menu in Developer, point to  Server , and then select  Purge Server Object Caches . 4 Click  Purge Now . To purge web cache follow the steps in the link below: https://microstrategyanalytics.blogspot.com/2018/12/purge-we

Metric values are repeated across rows when a report is executed in MicroStrategy

Metric values are repeated across rows when a report is executed in MicroStrategy When comparing report results between DB Query Tool and MicroStrategy, some reports show repeated metric values in MicroStrategy where there were none in DB Query Tool. To illustrate the issue, a fact table CAT_ITEM_SLS has been added into the MicroStrategy Tutorial project and populated with a small set of three rows. CAT_ID ITEM_ID REVENUE  1 1  10   1 2  20  2  2  30  Report results in DB Query Tool: Report results in MicroStrategy: In MicroStrategy, the row for "Art As Experience" in the Spring 2007 catalog repeats the $20 value from the Winter 2007 catalog, where DB Query Tool shows the $30 value from the fact table. CAUSE The discrepancy occurs because the attribute elements for Catalog and Item are in a many-to-many relationship, but the attribute relationship in the MicroStrategy schema is defined incorrectly with a one-to-many relationship. Not

Enabling the Quick Search feature for MicroStrategy Web

Enable the quick search for MicroStrategy Web When exporting a report containing an image attribute form (using an ApplySimple statement) to PDF in MicroStrategy Web 9.4.1 and 10.x, with the Intelligence Server running on Linux, the image in the exported PDF report appears as a red "X" as shown below: However, the images in the report display properly when the report is executed in MicroStrategy Developer and Web. Furthermore, when the report is exported to PDF on Desktop (with the original images saved in WebASPX\Images), the images in the report display properly, as indicated below: CAUSE This is expected behavior. When the report is displayed in MicroStrategy Developer and Web, or when the report is exported to PDF from MicroStrategy Developer, images in the "WebASPX\Images" folder are used. However, when a report that contains images is exported to PDF from Web, the Intelligence Server will attempt to reference the location in the

Multi-Table Data Import(MTDI) from one or more supported data sources

Multi-Table Data Import(MTDI) from one or more supported data sources In MicroStrategy Analytics Enterprise Web 10 onewards, users can now simultaneously import two or more tables from one or more supported data sources, this feature is called Multi-Table Data Import (MTDI) which has been renamed as Super Cubes in MSTR 2019 (Does it sound like multisourcing for all the users without admin help?) Currently, all connectors in MicroStrategy Web 10 except " OLAP " and " Search Engine Indices " support Multi-Table Data Import. Users are able to add multiple tables/files when doing data import from single connector, as shown below: Users are also able to combine multiple tables/files from different sources and store them into one single Intelligent Cube, as shown below:

Types of filters in Microstrategy

Types of filters in Microstrategy Below are the types of filters: 1. Attribute qualification filter These types of qualifications restrict data related to attributes on the report. a) Attribute form qualification Filters data related to a business attribute’s form(s), such as ID or description. •  For example, the attribute Customer has the forms ID, First Name, Last Name, Address, and Birth Date. An attribute form qualification might filter on the form Last Name, the operator Begins With, and the letter H. The results show a list of customers whose last names start with the letter H. b) Attribute element list qualification Filters data related to a business attribute’s elements, such as New York, Washington, and San Francisco, which are elements of the attribute City. • For example, the attribute Customer has the elements John Smith, Jane Doe, William Hill, and so on. An attribute element list qualification can filter data to display only those customers sp

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 without any formal training. In fact, the add

Microstrategy Document Editor Sections Important Notes:

Microstrategy Document Editor Sections Important Notes: The Layout area is in the center of the Document Editor interface and provides the framework for precisely controlling where controls (such as text fields, grid and graph reports, images, and widgets) are displayed when the document is viewed in different display modes, printed, exported, emailed, and so on. To add data to the document, drag objects from the  Dataset Objects  panel and drop them into the  Layout  area. Controls are rendered differently depending on what section they are placed in, as described below:   Page Header : The control is displayed at the top of each page in the document. By default, if a document contains multiple layouts, the same Page Header is displayed for all layouts in the document. You can change this setting so that each layout has a separate Page Header. Document Header : The control is displayed once at the beginning of the document, immediately below the Page Header section. Any data fields pl
