MicroStrategy Mobile Suite Creating a MicroStrategy Project with Your Data

For example, if you place a metric that represents your revenue on a report

(the Revenue metric), along with the Year attribute and the Month attribute,

you can view your organization’s revenue data displayed for each month and

year that you store in your data source.

MicroStrategy can define any business measure, from simple SUM metrics,

to advanced statistical calculations, to data mining predictions.



Note the following:

• MicroStrategy Architect can automatically create metrics when

facts are added to your project. For steps on how to configure

automatic creation of metrics, see To create a project to contain

your MicroStrategy reports and reporting objects, page 65. By

default, metrics are stored in the Public Objects/Metrics

folder of a MicroStrategy project.

• By default, facts are created in the Schema Objects/Facts

folder of a MicroStrategy project.

Use the steps below to create metrics, based on the facts you created above.

For additional examples of metric creation, see the Building Query Objects

and Queries, for Designers chapter in the MicroStrategy Basic Reporting

Guide. To create more complex metrics, for example a metric that aggregates

data based on a specific attribute in the report, see the Advanced Metrics

chapter in the MicroStrategy Advanced Reporting Guide.

To create and add a metric to your project

1 In MicroStrategy Desktop log in to the project source you created. For

steps to log in to the project source, see

To configure the MicroStrategy

Mobile Suite, page 21.

2 In the Folder List on the left, expand the MicroStrategy project you

created, expand the Public Objects folder, and click the Metrics folder.

The contents of the Metrics folder are displayed on the right.

3 In the right pane, right-click, point to New, and select Metric. The New

Metric dialog box opens.
