Abstract: Techniques for generating a report of a plurality of business warehouse system queries are described. Such techniques may identify one or more row types for each query. Thereafter, a template may be defined for each row type within a query that defines a format and a pattern for the row type. The template may be applied to query data for each query according to the row type to generate a sub-report. The sub-reports may be combined to generate an aggregated reports. Related apparatus and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, that relate to application development and analytical applications. A method of developing an application can include providing application building tools, receiving input, and generating, in a spreadsheet system, an application based on a set of the application elements and a specification of parameters. In that method, the application building tools include a development environment in a spreadsheet system and a set of application elements in the development environment. In addition, the input includes the selection of the subset of application elements from the set of application elements, and the specification of parameters for the application elements.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a report of a business warehouse system query includes identifying one or more row types of the query and defining a template for each row type. The method also includes applying the template to query data according to the row type to generate a formatted report. The template defines a format and a pattern for the row type.

Abstract: Systems and techniques relating to business workbook precalculation facilitate analysis of business activity. In general, in one implementation, a technique includes: receiving a business workbook to be precalculated, the business workbook including report information concerning business activity and query information used in updating the report information, initiating precalculation of the business workbook in response to receipt of the business workbook, interpreting the business workbook to identify the query information, sending the query information to a remote processing system, precalculating the business workbook based on information received in response to the sent query information, and forwarding the precalculated business workbook to facilitate analysis of the business activity.
