HTML Image as a Button That Exports a Grid on a Document to Excel in MicroStrategy

In MicroStrategy Web, it is possible to use an image as a button to export a grid on a document to Excel in MicroStrategy version 10.4 and later. This document provides the steps to accomplish the same. 

The goal is to create an image link that is used to export the grid, like shown below:

ExportGrid

Document in Edit Mode

EditMode

Follow the steps below:

1. Create a Report Services Document
2. Make two grids with different attributes and metrics in each 
3. Insert an HTML container (and not an image) and insert the script below. Make sure the Project name matches the given project and gridKey matches (highlighted in bold in the script below). The code below is used for the first grid and button. Main things to watch are the gridKey values and the name of the element id which in the below code is exportLink.
 
<a target="_blank" id="exportLink" href=""><img height="50" width="50" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/Microsoft_Excel_2013_logo.svg/1200px-Microsoft_Excel_2013_logo.svg.png"" /></a>
 
<script>
        try {
            var baseUrl = "./Main.aspx?&evt=3132&src=mstrWeb.3132&executionMode=4&gridKey=K44&Main.aspx=-.MicroStrategy+Tutorial.34955_&rwExportMode=4&rwb=";
            var beanState = mstrmojo.App.docModel.bs;
            baseUrl = baseUrl + beanState;
            document.getElementById("exportLink").href = baseUrl;
        } catch (err) {
            document.getElementById("exportLink").href = "";
        }
</script>


4. Insert another HTML container and paste the script below. Make sure the Project name matches the given project and gridKey matches. The code below is used for the second grid and second button. The gridKey value is different here and the name of the element id which is exportLink2.
 
<a target="_blank" id="exportLink2" href=""><img height="50" width="50" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/Microsoft_Excel_2013_logo.svg/1200px-Microsoft_Excel_2013_logo.svg.png"" /></a>

 
<script>
        try {
            var baseUrl2 = "./Main.aspx?&evt=3132&src=mstrWeb.3132&executionMode=4&gridKey=K45&Main.aspx=-.MicroStrategy+Tutorial.34955_&rwExportMode=4&rwb=";
            var beanState2 = mstrmojo.App.docModel.bs;
            baseUrl2 = baseUrl2 + beanState2;
            document.getElementById("exportLink2").href = baseUrl2;
        } catch (err) {
            document.getElementById("exportLink2").href = "";
        }
</script>


5. Run in Presentation mode and Click the Buttons to test that the grids get exported successfully.

Create an alert-based subscription in MicroStrategy Distribution Services

Create an alert-based subscription in MicroStrategy Distribution Services on Web Subscription to a report or Report Services document which will be executed when a certain conditional threshold is met based on another executing report. For example, a scheduled report executes which shows the Revenue by day for the past week.

An alert based subscription can only be created directly on a report; however, another report or Report Services document can be delivered when the alert based subscription is triggered. Note: you need a grid report to create an alert and you cannot create if you want to create on a document with text boxes. The following example will walk through the basic steps on how to setup a subscription based on an alert like this: Follow the brief  steps bel...

Types of prompts in Microstrategy

Types of prompts in Microstrategy The different types of prompts allow you to create a  prompt  for nearly every part of a report. Prompts can be used in many objects including reports, filters, metrics, and custom groups, but all prompts require user interaction when the report is executed. The correct prompt type to create depends on what report objects you want users to be able to base a filter on to filter data, as described in the list below. Filter definition prompts   allow users to determine how the report's data is filtered, based on one of the following objects: Attributes in a hierarchy : Users can select prompt answers from one or more attribute elements from one or more attributes. The attribute elements that they select are used to filter data displayed on the report. This prompt lets you give users the largest number of attribute elements to choose from when they answer the prompt to define their filtering criteria. For example, on a repor...

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...
