Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for utilizing extended cell information in conjunction with a multidimensional data model, the method comprising performing computer-implemented operations for: receiving a request for a multidimensional dataset; in response to the request for the multidimensional dataset, assembling the multidimensional dataset, incorporating count information into the multidimensional dataset, wherein the count information includes a count of extended cell information associated with a cell in the multidimensional dataset, and responding to the request for the multidimensional dataset with the multidimensional dataset; receiving a request for extended cell information associated with the cell; in response to the request for extended cell information associated with the cell, retrieving the extended cell information associated with the cell and responding to the request with the extended cell information; receiving a request to add extended cell information to the cell; and in response to receiving the request to add extended cell information to the cell, storing the extended cell information and associated the extended cell information with the cell, and wherein the extended cell information comprises a plurality of line item details associated with the cell, the plurality of line items details including a plurality of line item values that sum to a total value associated with the cell.
