Method and apparatus for accessing multidimensional data
TLDR
In this article, a data representation of the multidimensional data is sent to a query processor which creates row and column structures based on a user action, such as zoom-in, and a multiddimensional data output tree showing a hierarchy of the multi-dimensional data.Abstract:
Retrieving multidimensional data from a data source and displaying the data in a familiar and pre-existing user interface automatically propagates user-created formulas thereby eliminating the need for users to re-enter formulas. A data representation of the multidimensional data is sent to a query processor which creates row and column structures. These structures are manipulated based on a user action, such as zoom-in, and a multidimensional data output tree showing a hierarchy of the multidimensional data. Also created is a blueprint containing instructions on insertions and deletions to be carried out by the program associated with the pre-existing user interface, such as a spreadsheet program. Once the blueprint is interpreted by the program, typically through a data representation manipulator or common spreadsheet layer, the user interface is configured to accommodate the returned multidimensional data. Once the user interface is populated with the data, the program, such as the spreadsheet program, adjusts the user-created formula cell designations to reflect the new configuration.read more
