Derived metric based on attribute values

Derived metric based on attribute values Here is how could create and display data correctly on using below simple steps.  Create a report with Category, Subcategory and Revenue. Create New Metric in a report or VI.  Case((Category@ID = 1), Revenue, 0) Booksand Name it as Revenue for  where 2 is Category ID for "Books"  Report will display result as below.  Result for new metric is blank. Now to fix this create a new Derived metric on Category attribute first with formula as  Max(Category) {~ }  and calling Books Now Edit the "Revenue for Books metric and Replace Category@ID with this new Books metric formula would looks like this  Case((Books = 1), Revenue, 0).  Report result would now display as expected as shown below

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...

Configure Bulk Export Bulk Export options are only available in MicroStrategy Developer. Open a 3-tier connection using MicroStrategy Developer and edit the desired report. Go to 'Data' on the top menu bar. Select 'Configure Bulk Export': Specify any additional desired configuration options.

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 sec...

Star Schemas issue fixes in Modelling of Microstartegy

Star Schemas issue fixes in Modelling of Microstartegy Explanation This schema is characterized by one lookup table per dimension, with base tables at the lowest level. This is the fastest way to set up a data warehouse: This type of schemas is supported but has restrictions such as when adding aggregate tables: Problem Double counting. According to the diagram above, a report that contains month and the a metric SUM(SALES_AMT) will go to the aggregate table and join to the column to retrieve the description from the table. Since the column is not unique in its lookup table, the results will appear duplicated. Recommendation MicroStrategy engine is optimized to work with snowflake schemas, where each attribute level has a distinct lookup table. Star schemas are supported with restrictions, as long as fact tables are not at a higher level than the dimension tables to which they are joined. Consult the following MicroStrategy Knowledgebase document for further information....
