Abstract
An example method to process multi-dimensional data is provided. Example operations include detecting a request to generate a multi-dimensional data structure and determining that the multi-dimensional data structure is to include a multi-dimensional key figure. A first dimension of the key figure may be based primarily on a first characteristic and a second dimension of the key figure may be based primarily on a second characteristic. The method may further include augmenting a set of members associated with the second characteristic with a NULL member and generating a value for each dimension of the key figure. A value of the key figure may be determined by a pair made up from a member of the first characteristic and a member of the second characteristic. The key figure, the first characteristic, and the second characteristic may be then arranged into the requested multi-dimensional data structure.
