MicroStrategy Architect

Define transformations to compare current year data to prior year across day, week, month, quarter, and year using date lookup tables and 1-to-1 mappings, then create metrics and build reports.

Learn how to implement a 1 to 1 relationship in microstrategy architect, using customer and social security number as examples, avoiding cross joins and enabling correct inner joins.

Master one-to-many relationships in MicroStrategy Architect by building a time hierarchy from day to year, creating attributes, and defining relationship tables to avoid cross joins and produce accurate SQL.

Explore many-to-many relationships between items and colors, map an item-color relationship table in MicroStrategy Architect, and resolve color reporting accuracy by adding color to the fact table.

Create user hierarchies to enable report developers to browse attributes and drill paths. MicroStrategy infers relationships, designates entry points, and enables drilling from regions down to districts.

Meet with the business to design a logical model for district and store hierarchies, then define one-to-many relationships so MicroStrategy can generate the required SQL for district reports.

Create a compound key by combining customer ID and external ID to uniquely identify customers, map these keys to the fact table, and enable correct joins and filtering in reports.

Explore ragged hierarchies by mapping stores, districts, and regions, identify gaps, and resolve them with left outer joins and preserve final path settings in MicroStrategy.

Learn how split hierarchies in microstrategy connect campaign, store, and month using a lookup table and a joint child to create a one-to-many query path.

Define a recursive hierarchy of employees and managers, including the CEO. Flatten the structure into separate employee and manager lookup tables and establish a many-to-one relationship for analysis.

Master slowly changing dimensions, including type one and type two designs with start and end dates and current flags, to ensure accurate manager and store history in reports.

Map web orders with two dates by assigning order date to the core time attribute and creating table aliases for ship date to leverage date lookup tables for time-hierarchy analyses.
