Learn how to download and set up MicroStrategy workstation, including account creation, private email considerations, direct Windows or Mac download links, unzip, and install.

Create an offline dashboard in workstation and import the pizzas data set from CSV, then perform basic wrangling to build a multiform size attribute and display a table.

Open and edit an dashboard, add the pizza types data set from csv, and connect it to the pizzas data via the pizza type id to build the model.

Connect data sources and define relationships to enable cross-dataset analysis. Build the data model by linking orders, order details, pizzas, and pizza types to replace IDs with names.

Add KPI visualizations to the workstation dashboard, place the pizzas and orders cards side by side, and create a cross-data-set metric for average pizzas per order with proper formatting.

Create a horizontal bar chart in MicroStrategy Workstation to show the top five pizzas by order quantity, using the rank function for filtering and sorting by quantity.

Create a veggie dashboard chapter, apply a chapter filter on the category attribute to all pages, and use chapters to structure, navigate, and support the end user through veggie data.

Frame dashboards around purpose and audience, tell a data story with simple visuals, iterate with key audiences, and move detailed tabular information to single pages to avoid overload.

In the MicroStrategy masterclass, transform the pizza ingredients into a usable data source and build interactive dashboards to analyze which ingredients appear in each pizza.
