MicroStrategy - Creating Dashboard

A dashboard is made up of multiple visuapzations. It shows many attributes grouped into separate visuapzations. When we place some common attribute or metric in multiple visuapzation, it is easy to study the variations among them.

In the following example, we will create a dashboard showing some common attributes among the visuapzations.

Step 1

Create a grid visuapzation using superstore.xlsx as an example data source. We drag the attributes product - Subcategory and Shipping cost - to the rows box. Then we insert the second visuapzation into the report as shown in the following screenshot.

Step 2

Add all the above attributes as well as an additional attribute named unit price to the newly inserted visuapzation as shown in the following screenshot.

Step 3

Finally, apply different visuapzation types to these grids. We apply pie-chart to the top visuapzation and heat-map chart to the bottom visuapzation as shown in the following screenshot. The result shows a dashboard with some common attributes used in the two visuapzations.
