Abstract
A method for converting a spreadsheet into a data model includes: obtaining the spreadsheet including a plurality of cells containing data; identifying local structures within the spreadsheet using attributes of the data in the spreadsheet; combining the local structures of the spreadsheet into a generic multi-dimensional model comprising dimensions and data cubes; generating the data model using the generic multi-dimensional model by mapping elements of the generic multi-dimensional model to elements of the data model; and displaying, on a display and to a user, the data model. The dimensions and the data cubes are the elements of the generic multi-dimensional model.
