Abstract: Embodiments effect the combination of data from different tables (e.g., of an underlying database), and the visualization of that combined table data in an incremental manner. Columns from a second table may be selectively combined with those of a first table, manually by user selection and/or automatically by best guess matching. Such matching may be based upon commonalities between table column headers. A menu may allow user selection of specific table(s)/table column(s) to be combined with a first table, as well as a manner of that combination (e.g., particular types of SQL join operations). The table data combination process is visualized step-by-step (e.g., allowing toggling and forward/backward navigation between interface screens), ensuring the user is able to follow data migration in the combined workflow, and appreciate/recognize changing values resulting therefrom. Particular embodiments may leverage the processing power of an in-memory database engine to accomplish combination and/or visualization of table data.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to transforming data views for analysis and/or collaboration purposes. An original data view is displayed on a document page in response to a database query. A filter operation is performed by selecting a specific subset of that original data view. A copy of that transformed data view portion including a tuple, is displayed in a separate analysis space (e.g., on the same document page, on another page, or within a collaboration panel). In one example, a user clicks/drags a subset of a table data view for transformation and copying. When the selected and transformed data view portion is copied to the analysis space, relevant associated context information (e.g., the underlying query, measures, dimensions, chart legends, formatting) may be retained for later access. To conserve the limited space typically available to a collaboration panel, certain embodiments may simplify presentation by reproducing only the characters of the transformed data portion.
