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...

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.

Update the data on an Intelligent Cube without having to republish the entire cube in MicroStrategy

Update the data on an Intelligent Cube without having to republish the entire cube in MicroStrategy MicroStrategy has introduced a feature known as, Incremental Refresh Options, which allow Intelligent Cubes to be updated based on one or more attributes, by setting up incremental refresh settings to update the Intelligent Cube with only new data. This can reduce the time and system resources necessary to update the Intelligent Cube periodically versus a full republish. For example, if a user has an Intelligent Cube that contains weekly sales data, the user may want this Intelligent Cube to be updated at the end of every week with the sales data for that week. By setting up incremental refresh settings, he can make it so that only data for one week is added to the Intelligent Cube, without affecting the existing data and without having to reload all existing data. Users can select t...

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...

Client Rendering Optimizations for Dashboard Performance Optimizations

  The amount of data retrieved and objects being used in a Report Services Dashboard have a direct impact in the size of the final Dashboard. The bigger the Dashboard size the longer it will take to be prepared, be sent to the client, and render.   Client Rendering Once the data reaches the end user's browser window the data has to be formatted according to the definition of the Dashboard as specified in the formatting set by the architect. To do so the browser will have to either build the HTML page in DHTML mode or initialize the flash container and parse the XML.   Client rendering greatly varies depending on the hardware used. More powerful machines will render dashboard faster for a list of recommended client hardware specifications please refer to the Readme File for the specific version of MicroStrategy.   Optimization Techniques common to DHTML and Flash Client rendering time greatly relies in the amount of XML that needs to be parsed. In order to ensure that...

MicroStrategy default sort order for an attribute elements browsing

MicroStrategy default sort order for an attribute elements browsing and display How does MicroStrategy 9.x resolve the default sort order for an attribute when different sort orders are defined for different forms? Consider the following cases: CASE 1 A new attribute is created with three forms, all with sort order set to none. Form Name Form Type Default Sort Order ID ID None DESC DESC None LongDesc None None The overall sort order is evaluated and stored in the attribute definition when the attribute is saved. With all form sort orders set to none there is no saved sort order, MicroStrategy defaults to sort ascending by ID. CASE 2 The same attribute is modified so the forms are now: Form Name Form Type Default Sort Order ID ID None DESC DESC Descending LongDesc None Ascending Now when the attribute is saved, MicroStrategy goes through each form in the order they appear in the main 'Forms' window of the attribute editor. The first...
