Analyzing Data

When reports return large amounts of data, it can be difficult to easily understand what the data is telling you. Several MicroStrategy tools can help you analyze large amounts of data more quickly.

The following analysis tools are available in MicroStrategy Developer and MicroStrategy Web:

• Sorting: See Sorting data.
• Finding values in a report: See Finding values.
• Outline mode: See Summary/detail of data.
• Page-by: See Grouping data by page.
• Pivoting: See Pivoting data.
• Report limits: See Specifying maximum and minimum values: Report limits.
• Metric join type: See Determining how metric data is combined: Metric join types.
• Evaluation order: See Evaluation order of calculations.
• Subtotals: See Subtotals.

Each analysis tool is discussed in detail in this chapter.
