Abstract: The methods and systems for providing real-time business intelligence using natural language queries facilitate a user to search within a data warehouse using a natural language question. Such business intelligence platform may receive a natural language based question, extract one or more key words from the natural language based question, determine a first dependency graph of the one or more key words based on a relationship among the one or more key words, determine a second dependency graph of the one or more key words based on previously stored search indices, merge the first and the second dependency graphs to generate an integrated dependency graph, and generate a formatted search string based on the integrated dependency graph.

Abstract: The methods and systems for providing real-time business intelligence using search-based analytics engine facilitate a user to input a natural language query with regard to business analytics and obtain an analytics report in response without the user aggregating or processing raw data from a database query. Such business intelligence platform may receive a data analytics request including a user-desired data variable via a user interface; receive, via the user interface, user-configured parameters identifying a user-selected data source and a user-defined data set; form the user-defined data set based on user-configured parameters; query the user-defined data set to obtain a query result of the user-desired data variable; and generate a user interactive graphical representation of the query result of user-desired data variable.
