Compressing measure data in cell data records in a database is disclosed. The systems and methods of the invention define an efficient mechanism to compress measure data in a multidimensional database. The measure data stored in integer format within the cell record is compressed. If the measure data is constant within a measure data field then no space is used to store the measure data other than the value of the measure data stored within a header. The format used lends itself well to random access, and also to creating aggregations of the cell data.
