  • Systems and methods for visualizing multi-dimensional data in spreadsheets and other data structures
    Patent number: 6707454
    Abstract: The data visualization systems and methods of this invention provide a powerful tool for visualizing multi-dimensional databases. In one exemplary embodiment, the data visualization systems and methods of this invention visualize pivot tables using two novel visual metaphors: a single measure perspective consisting of linked bar charts and a multiscape landscape visualization; and a anchored measures perspective for displaying several measures simultaneously. The data visualization systems and methods of this invention usefully display much larger pivot tables than is possible using conventional interfaces and provide the ability to navigate through complex cubes to identify important structures. In various exemplary embodiments, the data visualization systems and methods of this invention attach to MS Excel™ as an add-on, access pivot tables directly from SQL Server 7.0, and integrate with MS Office.
