MSTR Transformation Metric with no aggreagation

Transformation Metric with no aggreagation in MSTR

A transformation table is a type of relation table, normally used to create a transformation metric. Refer to the following MicroStrategy Knowledge Base technical note for more information on transformation metrics:

TN 7238 "Creating transformation, rank and percent to total metrics in MicroStrategy Desktop 8.x"


Take the following Month to Day table as an example:

Transformation table 'MTD_DAY':

DAY_DATEMTD_DAY_DATE
1/1/20061/1/2006
1/2/20061/1/2006
1/2/20061/2/2006
1/3/20061/1/2006
1/3/20061/2/2006
1/3/20061/3/2006
......












By default the transformation metric with transformation 'Month to Date' will display like this

DayMTD_metric
1/1/20061/1/2006 metric
1/2/20061/1/2006 + 1/2/2006 metric
1/3/20061/1/2006 + 1/2/2006 + 1/3/2006 metric







But sometimes, users may want to compare with Day level metric and it's corresponding transformation metric as shown in the following chart:

DayMTDDay_metricMTD_metric
1/1/20061/1/20061/1/2006 metric1/1/2006 metric
1/2/20061/1/20061/2/2006 metric1/1/2006 metric

1/2/20061/2/2006 metric1/2/2006 metric
1/3/20061/1/20061/3/2006 metric1/1/2006 metric

1/2/20061/3/2006 metric1/2/2006 metric

1/3/20061/3/2006 metric1/3/2006 metric











How to display transformation metric without aggregation:

The following steps may be used as a reference. This example uses the MicroStrategy Tutorial project:

external image rtaImage?eid=ka1440000009GYm&feoid=00N44000006TPNo&refid=0EM440000002EFq




  1. In MicroStrategy Developer 9.x, create a new attribute 'MTD'
    • Map column 'MTD_DAY_DATE' in the transformation table 'MTD_DAY' and the column 'ORDER_DATE' in the 'ORDER_FACT' and 'ORDER_DETAIL' fact tables

    external image rtaImage?eid=ka1440000009GYm&feoid=00N44000006TPNo&refid=0EM440000002EFk

    • Add the 'Day' attribute as parent and set the relationship as 'Many to Many'

    external image rtaImage?eid=ka1440000009GYm&feoid=00N44000006TPNo&refid=0EM440000002EFo

    • Update the schema
  2. Create a metric 'Day Revenue' with the 'Revenue' fact
    • Add the 'Day' attribute as level with Filtering and Grouping set to 'Standard' and remove the default 'Report Level' target
  3. Create a metric 'MTD Revenue' with fact 'Revenue'
    • Add the 'Month to Date' transformation

    external image rtaImage?eid=ka1440000009GYm&feoid=00N44000006TPNo&refid=0EM440000002EFt

    • Change the metric join type to 'Outer'
      • Metric Editor -> Tools -> Metric Joint Type...
    • Change the formula join type to 'Outer'
      • Metric Editor -> Advanced Settings -> Fomula Joint Type...
  4. Create a filter to select 'Day' element at the runtime
  5. Create a report with attributes 'Day', 'MTD' and metrics 'Day Revenue', 'MTD Revenue', also adding filter into the report
  6. Execute the report with grid view, the report displays like this with the prompt answer '1/5/2006'

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...

Internationalization Design Technics

Microstrategy Internationalization Design Technics MicroStrategy supports data internationalization through two different techniques. You can either provide translated data through the use of extra tables and columns, or you can provide separate databases to store your translated data. These techniques are described below: You can support data internationalization in your database by using separate tables and columns to store your translated data. You can use various combinations of tables and columns to support and identify the translated data in your database. To support displaying the name of each month in multiple languages, you can include the translated names in a separate column, one for each required language, within the same table. Each column can use a suffix to identify that the column contains translated data for a certain language. The same LU_MONTH_OF_YEAR table with translated data for the Spanish and German langua...

Personalizing file locations, email and file subscriptions using macros in Microstrategy

Personalizing file locations MSTr allows to dynamically specify the  File Location  and  Backup File Location  in a file device using macros.  For example, if you specify the  File Location  as  C:\Reports\{&RecipientName}\ ,  all subscriptions using that file device are delivered to subfolders of  C:\Reports\ . Subscribed reports or documents for each recipient are delivered to a subfolder with that recipient’s name, such as  C:\Reports\Jane Smith\  or  C:\Reports\Hiro Protagonist\ . The table below lists the macros that can be used in the  File Location  and  Backup File Location  fields in a file device: Description Macro Date on which the subscription is sent {&Date} Time at which the subscription is sent {&Time} Name of the recipient {&RecipientName} User ID (32-character GUID) of the recipient {&RecipientID} Distribution Services add...
