Additional data sources can now be imported and a new data wrangling feature allows cleaning and preparing sample data. Presentation mode provides an enhanced visual display. Documents can automatically resize and custom themes can be applied. Images can be embedded in dashboards and reports for unified branding.

Data Wrangling allows you to work with sample data (a

filter your data, delete duplicate rows or cells, find and
replace data, concatenate columns, and so on.

and documents on Web,
Desktop, and on iOS devices
using MicroStrategy Mobile.
