YTD, QTD, MTD, WTD table transformation SQL

A proper data modeling will help you answer this kinds of questions with:

YTD ā€“ From beginning of the Year until day of Today
QTD ā€“ From beginning of the Quarter until day of Today
MTD ā€“ From beginning of the Month until day of Today

YTD table
select t1.day_id, t2.day_id
INTO YTD_DAY
from LU_DAY t1, LU_DAY t2
where t1.day_id >= t2.day_id
and t1.year_id = t2.year_id

QTD table 
select t1.day_id, t2.day_id as qtd_day_id
INTO QTD_DAY
from LU_DAY t1, LU_DAY t2
where t1.day_id >= t2.day_id
and t1.QUARTER_id = t2.QUARTER_id

 MTD table
select t1.day_id, t2.day_id as mtd_day_id
INTO MTD_DAY
from LU_DAY t1, LU_DAY t2
where t1.day_id >= t2.day_id
and t1.month_id = t2.month_id

 WTD table
select t1.day_id, t2.day_id as wtd_day_id
INTO WTD_DAY
from LU_DAY t1, LU_DAY t2
where t1.day_id >= t2.day_id
and t1.week_id = t2.week_id

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 (ā€œSatā€,ā€Sunā€), 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.

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...

Microstrategy Dashboard performance improvements steps

Microstrategy  Dashboard performance improvements steps: Many times, causes of poor performance can be simplified to specific components. To troubleshoot performance issues, users must identify these components, then make the appropriate modifications to the environment and/or to the MicroStrategy dashboard to reduce bottlenecks. Dashboard execution stages can be represented below: MicroStrategy Intelligence Server When an end user makes a  Document Execution Request  through any client (a web browser via MicroStrategy Web, the MicroStrategy Desktop/Developer client, the MicroStrategy Mobile app, or the MicroStrategy Office client), the request is sent to the MicroStrategy Intelligence Server, which processes the request and prepares the response. The MicroStrategy Intelligence Server will execute all children datasets on the dashboard by either generating SQL and running this against the data warehouse, or by fetching data from a cache. The Inte...
