Creates a custom report by providing dimensions and metrics.

Stored Procedure Specific Information

To create a report view on a query, you can use the CreateReport stored procedure. The CreateReport stored procedure provides an easy way to generate new view definitions with a custom combination of Dimensions and Metrics. Calling it will create a new schema file that you can query like any other view.

The stored procedure takes a view name, a comma-separated list of metric names, a comma-separated list of metric ids, a comma-separated list of dimension names, a comma-separated list of dimension ids and an output folder as inputs. You will need to set the Location connection property to the folder containing the new script files in order to access them; the Location can be set instead of the output folder.
You can get the metric/dimension Ids by querying Metrics/Dimensions views.

SELECT Id, Name FROM Dimensions
SELECT Id, Name FROM Metrics

For example, to use a new schema along with the default schemas, set the Location property to the db subfolder in the installation folder and make the following call:

EXEC CreateReport DimensionIds = 'variables/geocountry, variables/geocity', MetricIds = 'metrics/pageviews, metrics/visits', TableName = 'MyCustomReport'

Dimensions and Metrics should have their respective Ids specified in DimensionIds and MetricIds inputs.
