Advanced Metric Assistant

Rather than using the Metric Editor to apply a filter or transformation to a single metric, you can use the Advanced Metric Assistant to combine multiple metrics with multiple filters or transformations. This can help reduce the time required to create the metrics for a project.

This tool allows you to combine simple metrics with filters or transformations to create metrics with additional analysis capabilities. Combining metrics with filters allows you to apply conditionality to your metrics, while combining metrics with transformations allows you to compare values at different times.

Accessing the Advanced Metric Assistant

1. In MicroStrategy Developer, log in to a project.

2. From the Tools menu, select Advanced Metric Assistant. The Advanced Metric Assistant opens.
   
   You can also access the Advanced Metric Assistant by first selecting metrics. Select a metric or metrics to combine with filters to create conditional metrics. Right-click your selection, point to Create Similar Metrics, and select Add Filter or Add Transformation. The Advanced Metric Assistant opens.
