MicroStrategy for Jupyter

MicroStrategy for Jupyter enables the data scientist to import MicroStrategy data into Jupyter Notebook and export dataframes to MicroStrategy as an in-memory dataset.

 

MicroStrategy for Jupyter requires MicroStrategy 2019 Update 4 or later.

You must enable CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) settings on the Library server to use the connector.

The following must be installed to use MicroStrategy for Jupyter:

  • Python 3.10+ for Mac or Windows. Python 3.11 is not yet supported.
