YTD, QTD, MTD, WTD table transformation SQL

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

YTD – From beginning of the Year until day of Today
QTD – From beginning of the Quarter until day of Today
MTD – 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

Custom Subtotal Displays in MicroStrategy

Defining custom subtotal displays in MicroStrategy By default, when users apply subtotals in a report, the name of the subtotal is displayed in the subtotal line items that appear in the report. Users can use custom subtotals to give more control over the characteristics of a subtotal. Custom subtotals allow users to define custom subtotal line items that appear on the reports  U sers can make the subtotal name dynamic by typing special characters in the subtotal name field as listed in the following table. Character Description #A The name of the attribute under which the subtotal appears. #P The name of the attribute to the left of, or above the attribute under which the subtotal appears. #0 All the forms of the parent element. #1 The first form of the parent element reading from left to right or from top to bottom. #2 The second form of the parent element reading from left to right or from top to bottom. #3 The third form of th...

Control the display of null and zero metric values

Show   Control the display of null and zero metric values in a grid report You can determine how to display or hide rows and columns in a grid report that consist only of null or zero metric values. You can have MicroStrategy hide the rows and columns in the following ways: Hide rows and columns that consist only of null metric values Hide rows and columns that consist only of zero metric values Hide rows and columns that consist only of null or zero metric values (default) Once you have defined how MicroStrategy hides null and zero metric values in the grid, you can quickly show or hide the grid using the Hide Nulls/Zeros option in the Data menu, as described below, or by clicking the  Hide Nulls/Zeros  icon  in the Data toolbar. To determine how null and zero metric values are displayed or hidden in a grid report Open the report in Edit mode. From the  Tools  menu, select  Report Options . The Report Options...

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...

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 element list qualification can filter data to display only those customer...

Predictive modelling in Data Science using Microstrategy

Creating a predictive modelling in MicroStrategy MicroStrategy Data Mining Services has been evolving to include more data mining algorithms and functionality. One key feature is MicroStrategy Developer’s Training Metric Wizard. The Training Metric Wizard can be used to create several different types of predictive models including linear and exponential regression, logistic regression, decision tree, cluster, time series, and association rules. Linear and exponential regression The linear regression data mining technique should be familiar to you if you have ever tried to extrapolate or interpolate data, tried to find the line that best fits a series of data points, or used Microsoft Excel’s LINEST or LOGEST functions. Regression analyzes the relationship between several predictive inputs, or independent variables, and a dependent variable that is to be predicted. Regression finds the line that best fits the data, with a minimum of error. For example, you have a dataset ...

Microstrategy Report Services documents and dashboards

Microstrategy Report Services documents vs Dashboards A MicroStrategy Report Services document displays data coming from multiple reports, with the data laid out and designed in presentation-quality format. Most data on a document is from one or more underlying datasets. A dataset is a standard MicroStrategy report. Other document components that do not originate from the dataset, such as static text used for a title or heading, page numbers, and images, are added by the document's designer and are stored in the document's definition. A Report Services (RS) dashboard is a special type of document. An RS dashboard is commonly only one page long, is intended to be viewed online, and usually provides interactive features that let analysts change how they view the dashboard’s data, as well as what data they are viewing. A broad selection of widgets and a wide variety of formatting options allow you to design a customized, interactive dashboard. Both documents and RS dashb...

Report filters are being ignored in Microstrategy report SQL

Report filters are being ignored in Microstrategy report SQL When users run a report using a simple filter, the filter is not applied to the report in MicroStrategy Developer 9.x and 10.x. The results returned to the users are not filtered as expected. The Report SQL indicates that the filter has not been applied. CAUSE: One scenario is that the MicroStrategy 10.x SQL Engine is ignoring the conditionality at the report level because a metric in the report also contains a related conditionality which has been set to "remove related report filter elements" or "ignore" the filtering criteria at the report level. ACTION: When a report contains the above situation, the follow steps can be done to have both filters applied and be merged for the report results to be executed with: If the report's and metric's filter affect attributes from the same hierarchy, check that the following setting is un-checked: This setting is placed in the me...
