MicroStrategy ONE
Viewing a report in Grid view
Grid reports consist of rows and columns, each row or column having a heading. Each heading of a row or column represents an attribute, a consolidation, a custom group, or a metric. This report format is characterized by its capability to display report results in a flexible, easy-to-modify level of detail. Report results are calculated based on:
-
Hierarchies: primary criteria for selecting template components. Commonly used hierarchies include Geography, Time, Product, and Customer.
-
Attributes: hierarchy components. Geography may consist of the attributes Region, State, City, and so on.
-
Consolidations: groupings of same-attribute elements that accommodate inter-row arithmetic operations.
-
Custom groups: special filters that can be placed on a template. They contain ordered collections of elements.
-
Metrics: analytical calculations performed against template or filter data.
-
Prompts: conditions applied to one or more attributes, filters, or metrics on a report.
