Abstract: Methods and apparatus for the formatting of data values that may be arbitrary or indeterminate collected from a plurality of sources are provided. In one embodiment, a centralized web application is accessed by an administrative user to create and distribute a standardized chart of accounts for normalization, collection, and storage of data from units associated with the multi-unit organization. The stored standardized chart of accounts data is selectively identified, filtered, anonymized, excluded/hidden from view, manipulated and/or other various calculations are performed in order to carry out data analyses and other operations. Such apparatus and methods enable abstraction of useful information from the collected and stored chart of accounts data across a range of units having similar and varying characteristics.
