In MicroStrategy Web 2021, in Dossier after applying grid line formatting on a grid or modern grid, if all metrics are removed and new added, grid line formatting ni longer applied for metrics columns.


Elena Arman

Senior Support Engineer • Strategy


In MicroStrategy 2021, users applied formatting on the grid visualization such as Red grid lines. If they remove all metrics from the grid and add new metric, users notice that formatting for metric columns is not longer applied as shown below:

Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  • In MicroStratgey Tutorial, create a report with Year, Category attributes and Cost, Revenue Metrics
  • Create a Dossier with the dataset above and add a grid visualization with Year, Category attributes and Cost metrics
  • Switch to Format tab, select “Text and Form”. Then pick “Entire Grid”, Horizontal lines  and Red color as shown below.

  • Save the Dossier. The grid should look like on the grid below:

  • Remove the Cost attribute and add Revenue to the grid. Notice that the grid line formatting is gone for the metric column even though it was applied for the entire grid:

WORKAROUND:
Instead of removing all metrics from a grid visualization, add new metrics first them remove other metrics that no longer needed on the grid.
