Abstract
Embodiments relate to techniques for performing data blending operations across multiple different data sets comprising data structures with columns and rows. The data sets may be classified and displayed in a visualization (i.e., chart) in a client interface. Columns and rows from the blended data sets may be mapped together (i.e., linked). Updates to the visualization, including adding elements from the data sets, may trigger a data blending process on the backend server in communication with a database. The server may blend the specified data by generating a runtime artifact representing a calculation graph for the blend operation and query the database to retrieve a resulting data set. The data blending operation may comprise collapsing dimensions of a primary data set with linked dimensions of a secondary data sets into a blended column and aggregating values of measures in rows of the blended column of the resulting data structure.
