Abstract
A network-based system for enabling users connected over the network to an OLAP system to select formatting options for reports requested for processing by the OLAP system. The system enables a user to select the format for each report in a workbook or for a stand-alone report. The format specified may be multiple levels of format that are applied in a hierarchical manner including global formats that apply to all reports in a workbook, report formats which apply to specific reports in the workbooks, attribute/element/metric formats which apply to specific attributes, elements, and metrics of a report, and value formats which apply to specific values within an element of a report. The formats specified may also comprise merged report formats, combined grid and graphs within a report and an autoformat that enables each recipient of the report to specify the format in which that recipient views the report when the report is received.
