Abstract: A technology for displaying formula dependencies of multi-dimensional data in a visual representation is provided. In accordance with one aspect, a visual representation of a multi-dimensional data is provided based on metadata of a modeled data set. The metadata includes information of a data model comprising dimensions, hierarchies of dimension members, and formulas for deriving the dimension members. The formula dependencies are determined for members of a dimension based on the metadata. A user selection of a dimension member in the visual representation is received and the framework displays a formula dependency of the selected dimension member on the visual representation using one or more visual markers. The visual markers identify one or more corresponding dimension members from which the selected dimension member is derived and represent a formula used for deriving the selected dimension member.
