  • Publication number: 20140201128
    Abstract: A system and method for processing a base vector derived from data stored in an OLAP cube. The system comprises a component configured for defining a base vector and a comparison vector, wherein the comparison vector comprises one or more dimensions corresponding to dimensions of the base vector. The system includes a component configured for defining a time scope associated with the base vector. The system further comprises a component configured for performing one or more analysis operations on the comparison vector to generate comparison values and a component configured for rendering the base and comparison vectors. According to another aspect, the system includes a component for altering or modifying individual data cells in the base vector and/or parameters associated with the base vector and/or analysis operation.

  • Patent number: 8190557
    Abstract: A system and method for processing data between a source cell and a target cell in a OLAP database. The system comprises a component configured for selecting a source cell based on dimensions in the OLAP database and having a value derived from the OLAP database, and a component for selecting a target cell based on dimensions in the OLAP database. The system includes a component configured for receiving a modification amount and applying the modification amount to the source cell and a component configured for applying the modification amount to the target cell and generating a modified target cell value. The system further comprises a component configured for storing the modified source cell and/or the modified target cell in the OLAP database. According to an embodiment, the modification amount is applied to the target cell as a credit amount or as a debit amount.
