Abstract:
1. A method implemented at least in part by a computer, the method in combination with first, second, and third tables of data, the first table organizing a first type according to a first attribute and a second attribute, the second table organizing a second type according to a third attribute, the third table organizing a third type according to the first attribute and the third attribute, the method comprising: modeling a measure according to the second type of the second table; modeling a first dimension according to the third attribute of the second table; modeling a second dimension according to the second attribute of the first table; tying the measure to the first dimension according to the third attribute of the second table to allow the measure to access data for the first dimension according to the third attribute; and tying the measure to the second dimension by, for each entry of the first dimension, allocating a value of the measure for the entry of the first dimension by: generating and displaying a data cube that comprises the measure and the first and second dimensions, the data cube being used for analytically modeling data from at least the first and second tables.
