Abstract

A method and apparatus for creating custom dimension trees. The method may include receiving a user request to create a custom dimension tree, displaying a list of available dimensions, and receiving user selection of available dimensions from the list. The method may further include allowing the user to create virtual dimensions, mapping elements of the available dimensions to the virtual dimensions, and creating the custom dimension tree using the mapping. The custom dimension tree represents relationships between the virtual dimensions.
