AIM:
Study of MicroStrategy & Pivot Tables in MS Excel.

a) Theory: Microstrategy
MicroStrategy is a Business Intelligence software, which offers a wide range of data analytics capabilities. As a suite
of applications, it offers Data Discovery, Advanced Analytics, Data Visualizations, Embedded BI, and Banded
Reports and Statements. It can connect to data warehouses, relational systems, flat files, web services and a host of
other types of sources to pull data for analysis. Features such as highly formatted reports, ad hoc query, thresholds
and alerts, and automated report distribution makes MicroStrategy an industry leader in BI software space. It is
recognized as a visionary by Gartner Magic Quadrant.

Reports
The reports created in MicroStrategy can be seen from a different prospective. Some can be seen as only numbers
and text. While some other only as graphs. We can also combine the textual and graphical visualizations together.
Following are the three report types used in MicroStrategy Desktop.
● Grid Reports − These reports display only textual information in the form of grids showing rows and
columns of data.
● Graph Reports − These reports show various graphs created from the data sets.
● Combined Reports − These reports can show the combination of both the Grid and Graphical reports.

Following is a brief description of various OLAP features available in MicroStrategy Desktop.

● Aliasing − This feature is used to rename any object on the report grid, such as attribute names, consolidation
names, custom group names, and metric names.
● Banding − Used to color groups of rows or columns so that they form bands of data that are easy to locate
and analyze.
● Page-by − It is a way to segment data in a grid report by placing available attributes, consolidations, or
metrics on a third axis called the Page axis.
● Pivoting − Used to rearrange the columns and rows in a report to view data from different perspectives such
as moving an object from the row header to the column header and vice versa.
● Sorting − MicroStrategy Desktop offers quick sort, advanced sort, and hierarchical sort of row or columns.
● Subtotals − It is used to add, remove, and edit the subtotals at different levels for metrics on the report.
● Thresholds − A threshold highlights data that meets conditions defined by the user.
