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 customer...

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 ...

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, cli...

Level metrics in Microstartegy/MSTR

Level Metrics Level metrics allows the users to choose the right combination of level target, filtering, and grouping (referred to as elements) to achieve your desired results.  The elements of a metric level are described below: • Target : The target is the attribute level at which the metric calculation groups. For a more detailed description, see  Target: The context of a calculation . • Grouping : Grouping determines how the metric aggregates. For a more detailed description, see  Grouping: How aggregation is performed . • Filtering : Filtering governs how the report filter interacts with the metric calculation. For a more detailed description, see  Filtering: Interaction with report filters . The level is indicated between the curly braces ({ }) in the metric definition shown below: Sum(Revenue) {~, Product} The tilde (~) represents the report level with standard filtering, denoted by the plus sign (+). If you add item as a level, th...

Microstrategy Report Execution Process

The Report Execution Process  Report execution process at a high level: The report execution process is a three-step process:  1. Query Stage : Retrieve data from the warehouse  2. Populate and Evaluate : Fill report data required for display  3. Cross-tab : Pivot and display sorting and page-by Each of the engines plays an important part in the report execution process.  As you can imagine, the SQL Engine performs its role during the Query stage while the Query Engine and Analytical Engine can be involved in all three stages.

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 perfo...

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...
