Analyzing data within a data report

摘要

Described are methods and systems related to analyzing data within a data report. The data report, including a result set and metadata associated with the result set is retrieved. The result set is analyzed to identify one or more fields. Dimensions and measures within the result set are inferred. Based upon the inferred dimensions and measures, a user interface element is rendered on a user interface. The user interface element is utilized to define a query. Based upon the query defined in the user interface element, a measure included in the query is aggregated along a dimension included in the query, to create a collection of aggregations. A visual representation of the collection of the aggregations is rendered on the user interface.

1. An article of manufacture, comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer readable instructions which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method for analyzing data within a data report, the method comprising:
retrieving a data report including a result set and associated metadata of the result set; analyzing the result set to identify one or more fields present in the result set; based upon the one or more fields and corresponding one or more field types, inferring a set of dimensions and measures within the result set; based upon the inferred set of dimensions and measures, rendering one or more user interface elements for defining a query, wherein each of the one or more user interface elements is associated with a member of the set of dimensions and measures inferred from the result set; receiving a user selection of one or more of the rendered user interface elements for inclusion in the query; aggregating the measures along the corresponding dimensions associated with the selected user interface elements included in the query, to generate a collection of aggregations; and rendering a visual representation of the collection of the aggregations.
