Deploying D3 visualization

MicroStrategy Desktop can be easily integrated with D3 visualization. Let's add more charts to our MicroStrategy Desktop:

  1. Go to https://github.com/mstr-dev/Visualization-Plugins and download the ZIP archive.
  2. Extract it.
  3. Copy all folders from the archive to <MicroStrategy Desktop Installation Folder>/code/plugins.
  4. Restart MicroStrategy Desktop.

As a result, we get lots of new visualizations. Let's try to build a simple Sankey diagram.

There is a small dataset:

  • source,target,value
  • Barry,Elvis,2
  • Frodo,Elvis,2
  • Frodo,Sarah,2
  • Barry,Alice,2
  • Elvis,Sarah,2
  • Elvis,Alice,2
  • Sarah,Alice,4

We should copy it and insert it into the clipboard by creating a new dashboard. Moreover, we should wrangle the dataset in order to split values. In addition, we need to convert Value to metric. As a result, we can build this Sankey Chart:
