Filter report and cube instances using metric limits

tip

You can try out this workflow at REST API Playground.

Learn more about Strategy REST API Playground here.

When you create a report or cube instance using the following REST API endpoints, you can use a parameter called metricLimits in the body parameter of the request to filter the data that is returned:

  • POST /api/cubes/{cubeId}/instances
  • POST /api/reports/{reportId}/instances

Metric limits are applied only to metrics, and they are applied after data is aggregated. You can use metric limits with most types of cubes; one exception is MDX cubes with recursive attributes. You must use an Intelligence Server with a version greater than 10.11.

The following topics are designed to help you understand and use metric limits.
