Abstract

Data of a database environment, which includes hierarchy information and a matrix of values, is processed. The hierarchy information includes at least two sets of identification codes and defines at least two groups of identification codes. The matrix of values includes at least two columns of identification values. At least one simple filter object is generated based on a user input. Each simple filter object defines an ad hoc group of identification codes selected from a respective one of the sets of identification codes. A filtered operation object that specifies an operation and at least one of the simple filter objects is generated based on a user input. Each of the ad hoc groups differs from each of the groups defined by the hierarchy information.
