The present invention leverages curve fitting data techniques to provide automatic detection of data anomalies in a “data tube” from a data perspective, allowing, for example, detection of data anomalies such as on-screen, drill down, and drill across data anomalies in, for example, pivot tables and/or OLAP cubes. It determines if data substantially deviates from a predicted value established by a curve fitting process such as, for example, a piece-wise linear function applied to the data tube. A threshold value can also be employed by the present invention to facilitate in determining a degree of deviation necessary before a data value is considered anomalous. The threshold value can be supplied dynamically and/or statically by a system and/or a user via a user interface. Additionally, the present invention provides an indication to a user of the type and location of a detected anomaly from a top level data perspective.

A system that facilitates data perspective analysis, comprising:
A data packet, transmitted between two or more computer components, that facilitates data perspective analysis, the data packet comprising, at least in part, information relating to a data perspective analysis system that utilizes, at least in part, a curve fitting process applied to continuous and/or discrete data from a data tube;
