Abstract

A system may include reception of a selection of a set of one or more elements of a data visualization, the set associated with a measure and each of the one or more elements associated with a value of the measure for a respective combination of one or more dimension members, reception of an instruction to create a second set of one or more elements associated with a calculated measure, where a value of the calculated measure for a respective combination is based on two values of the measure for the respective combination, and where a first value of the two values of the measure is associated with a first time and a second value of the two values of the measure is associated with a second time, and automatic generation of a query to produce the value of the calculated measure for each of the combinations

Claims18

Dependent claims

A method implemented by a computing system in response to execution of program code by a processor of the computing system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a user, a selection of a set of one or more elements of a data visualization, the set associated with a measure and each of the one or more elements associated with a value of the measure for a respective combination of one or more dimension members;
receiving, from the user, an instruction to create a second set of one or more elements associated with a calculated measure, where a value of the calculated measure for a respective combination of one or more dimension members is based on two values of the measure for the respective combination of one or more dimension members, and where a first value of the two values of the measure is associated with a first time and a second value of the two values of the measure is associated with a second time;
in response to the instruction, automatically generating a query to produce a value of the calculated measure for each of the combinations of one or more dimension members;
and
presenting the second set of one or more elements including the value of the calculated measure for each of the combinations of one or more dimension members.

2 more elements

A non-transitory medium storing processor-executable program code, the program code executable by a processor of a computing device to:

receive, from a user, a selection of a set of one or more elements of a data visualization, the set associated with a measure and each of the one or more elements associated with a value of the measure for a respective combination of one or more dimension members;
receive, from the user, an instruction to create a second set of one or more elements associated with a calculated measure, where a value of the calculated measure for a respective combination of one or more dimension members is based on two values of the measure for the respective combination of one or more dimension members, and where a first value of the two values of the measure is associated with a first time and a second value of the two values of the measure is associated with a second time;
in response to the instruction, automatically generate a query to produce a value of the calculated measure for each of the combinations of one or more dimension members;
and
present the second set of one or more elements including the value of the calculated measure for each of the combinations of one or more dimension members.

2 more elements

A system comprising:

a computing device comprising:
a memory storing processor-executable program code;
and
a processor to execute the processor-executable program code in order to cause the computing device to:
receive, from a user, a selection of a set of one or more elements of a data visualization, the set associated with a measure and each of the one or more elements associated with a value of the measure for a respective combination of one or more dimension members;
receive, from the user, an instruction to create a second set of one or more elements associated with a calculated measure, where a value of the calculated measure for a respective combination of one or more dimension members is based on two values of the measure for the respective combination of one or more dimension members, and where a first value of the two values of the measure is associated with a first time and a second value of the two values of the measure is associated with a second time;
in response to the instruction, automatically generate a query to produce a value of the calculated measure for each of the combinations of one or more dimension members;
and
present the second set of one or more elements including the value of the calculated measure for each of the combinations of one or more dimension members.
