Modeling hierarchical information from a data source

A computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by a computing device to:

• output, for display, a plurality of columns, wherein each of the columns represents a corresponding data set from among data sets in the data source, and each of the columns comprises one or more values from the corresponding data set;
• receive an input to select a representation of a selected value from one or more values in a first column from the plurality of columns, wherein the first column corresponds to a first data set from the data sets in the data source, and the selected value comprises a data value comprised in the first data set
• receive an input to drag the representation of the selected value from the first column onto the header of a second column from the plurality of columns, wherein the second column corresponds to a second data set from the data sets in the data source;
• receive an input to drop the representation of the selected value onto the header of the second column;
• and
• output, for display, a filtered view of the second column that comprises a subset of only values from the second data set that are filtered by the selected value and are associated in the data source with the selected value in the first data set.

A computer system comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, and one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to output, for display, a plurality of columns, wherein each of the columns represents a corresponding data set from among data sets in the data source, and each of the columns comprises one or more values from the corresponding data set;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to receive an input to select a representation of a selected value from one or more values in a first column from the plurality of columns, wherein the first column corresponds to a first data set from the data sets in the data source, and the selected value comprises a data value comprised in the first data set;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to receive an input to drag the representation of the selected value from the first column onto the header of a second column from the plurality of columns, wherein the second column corresponds to a second data set from the data sets in the data source;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to receive an input to drop the representation of the selected value onto the header of the second column;
• and
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to output, for display, a filtered view of the second column that comprises a subset of only values from the second data set that are filtered by the selected value and are associated in the data source with the selected value in the first data set.
