  3. hi

    could anyone suggest me a solution for the below problem

    I have a custom group with 3 values. and a metric in the report. The report looks like this

    Custom group  Metric value
    a                        100
    b                         200
    c                         300  

    Now i need a subtotal function which gives me the value of a+b-c =100+200-300=0
    Is this posssible in Microstrategy. Please reply as this is very much useful to me.

  5. Hi All,
    I have a doubt regarding Event driven Scheduling.
    Can anyone help me out.
    The thing is that i need to trigger the event once the db load gets completed.
    ie) if 10 companies are there and if their load is running means,
    ABC company group of users -> Subscribing the report to ABC Event
    XYZ company group of users -> Subscribing the report to XYZ Event
    … etc
    So i need to trigger the event on the completion of ABC Load, for the ABC Group Users and like that to all other users group pertaining to the required company after each company db load.
    Is it possible tie the event or that schedule to the Group of USers??(If so can you please provide me the steps to follow)

    I’ve done using windows script, which looks for the message in a txt file after db load for a company – > So on checking the Message and text file arrival after db load for a company i’ll trigger the event using command manager scripts.
    So if i’m able to tie the event to the Users group, then i will be able to trigger that particular companies event and so that those users alone can get their reports.
    Please help me out a solution to do this

  7. Newbie to Microstrategy but seasoned veteran of the SCM world.

    Why is versioning objects in MicroStrategy not an desirable practice? Versioning is the heart of solid Configuration Management practices and managing objects without visibility into their effectivity makes no sense. Managing versions in this fashion makes as much sense as just copying the development environment to the test environment.

    If I’m just not seeing where Microstrategy does this please open my eyes!

    1. If you want to hit to a particular table then you may create a level metric or a derived metric mapping to that particular table or you may change the logical size of a particular table to hit that

  8. Hi,
    I’m currently using Microstrategy and we have a question about how to show hidden null in the grid in case of a document created.
    I’ve found a solution in case of report, but not in case of new document creation.
    In particular, when I filter the grid, the columns that hold null values disappear and remain only the columns with values, while we would like to show the null ones as well with blank/null/zero.
    Many thanks
