KB14247: Conditional formatting thresholds created in a Report Services document do not allow comparison between two objects in Microstrategy Developer

SYMPTOM:
When creating conditional formatting thresholds in a Report Services document, the user cannot create a condition where the value of an object is compared to another object in Strategy Developer.  The user gets only one option 'Type a value,' unlike the options provided for thresholds in reports.
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Follow the steps below to reproduce the issue in the Strategy Tutorial project:
 

• Create a report with the attribute Region on the rows and the Revenue and Profit metrics on the columns.
• On the Report menu, go to Data > Thresholds. Add a new threshold with a condition Revenue 'Greater than' Profit. The threshold dialog box is as shown below:
  

• Now create a Report Services document and add the above created report as a data set.
• On the Document menu, go to Format > Conditional Formatting. Add a new threshold with the 'Greater than' condition on Revenue. The Conditional Formatting dialog box is as shown below:
  

Conditional formatting in Report Services documents only allows the user to type-in a comparison value unlike the options provided for thresholds in reports.
 
CAUSE:
This is a known issue in Strategy Developer.
 
ACTION:
Strategy will continue to investigate and post updates as soon as they are available.
