7 Repeat the appropriate steps above to create each of the metrics required
to calculate the distance to each store.
8 Once you have created the distance calculation metric, Point_Distance,
you can create any of the following prompts to use the metric:
• A Metric Qualification prompt. You can add the prompt to a report to
let users specify a distance radius for which to display data. For
information on creating Metric Qualification prompts, see the
MicroStrategy Web Help.
• A Metric Set Qualification filter. You can add the filter to a report or to
a dataset report in a document, to automatically filter the data using
the current location of the mobile device.
• A prompt or filter that will use the metric, added to a report displayed
as a Map widget, or to the dataset report of a Map widget in a
document. When the Map widget is displayed on a mobile device, only
the map markers for locations within the specified distance from the
mobile device are displayed.
Metric Name Metric Definition
Location_Lat Max(AttributeName@LatitudeFormName)
Replace AttributeName with the name of the location
attribute, and replace LatitudeFormName with the
attribute form that contains the latitude information for each
location. For example, for an attribute named Store with the
attribute forms Latitude and Longitude, create a metric with the
name Location_Lat, with the definition
Max(Store@Latitude).
Location_Long Max(AttributeName@LongitudeFormName)
Replace AttributeName with the name of the location
attribute, and replace LongitudeFormName with the
attribute form that contains the longitude information for each
location. For example, for an attribute named Store with the
attribute forms Latitude and Longitude, create a metric with the
name Location_Long, with the definition
Max(Store@Longitude).
DeltaLat/2 (Radians(([Location_Lat] -
?LatitudePromptName)) / 2)
Replace LatitudePromptName with the name of the
value prompt for latitude. For example, if the value prompt is
named Latitude, the definition is
(Radians(([Location_Lat] - ?Latitude))
/ 2).
