| 20090313250 | TECHNIQUES FOR FILTER SHARING - Techniques for filter sharing are described. An apparatus may comprise a shared filter manager component for an application program. The shared filter manager component may be operative to manage shared filtering operations for the application program. The shared filter manager component may comprise a shared filter interface module operative to receive a selection for a shared filter component to filter multiple source data objects, and assign the shared filter component to the multiple source data objects. The shared filter manager component may further comprise a shared filter control module communicatively coupled to the shared filter interface module. The shared filter control module may be operative to filter data from the multiple source data objects using the shared filter component. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090313268 | TECHNIQUES FOR DYNAMIC CROSS-FILTERING - Techniques for dynamic cross-filtering are described. An apparatus may comprise a filter manager component for an application program. The filter manager component is operative to manage cross-filtering operations for the application program. The filter manager component may comprise a filter control module operative to determine a selection state for a filter data element of a first filter component, and a relationship state for the filter data element of the first filter component with a filter data element of a second filter component. The filter manager component may also comprise a filter interface module communicatively coupled to the filter control module. The filter interface module is operative to dynamically display a different visual indicator for the filter data elements based on the selection state and the relationship state, among other filter criteria or filter states. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100205521 | DISPLAYING MULTIPLE ROW AND COLUMN HEADER AREAS IN A SUMMARY TABLE - A data analysis program receives a selection of data fields defining multiple row header areas and/or multiple column header areas for display in a summary table. Data is read from a data source containing values for the data fields and transformed into summary level data for building the summary table. A display is rendered in the summary table for each of the multiple row header areas and column header areas defined, with the row header areas being displayed vertically adjacent to one another and the column header areas being displayed horizontally adjacent to one another. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100228752 | MULTI-CONDITION FILTERING OF AN INTERACTIVE SUMMARY TABLE - Technologies are described herein for allowing a user of an interactive summary table to specify multi-condition data filters to modify the data displayed in the summary table. A user interface is displayed to the user that allows the user to specify a multi-condition data filter. The specification of the multi-condition data filter includes a set of filter conditions connected by logical operators. One or more filter expressions are parsed from the specification of the multi-condition data filter based on the filter conditions and the logical operators, and the filter expressions are applied to the summary data from which the summary table is displayed. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20110035653 | ASSOCIATING CONDITIONS TO SUMMARY TABLE DATA - A method and system associate conditional formats with selected data points or groups of data points within a summary table. In one embodiment, related groups of data are determined based upon currently highlighted cells in a summary table. A user then selects from the groups and identifies conditional formats to be associated with the specified data points. The conditional formats are associated with currently displayed as well as non-displayed data within the summary table. The associated conditions are saved relative to the data points rather than the original cell positions so that the conditions remain associated with the data points following a reorganization of the summary table. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110167330 | DYNAMICALLY FILTERING AGGREGATE REPORTS BASED ON VALUES RESULTING FROM ONE OR MORE PREVIOUSLY APPLIED FILTERS - Methods, systems, and computer program products dynamically filter an aggregate report based on values resulting from one or more filters previously applied to the aggregate report. A method involves maintaining a collection of filters to be applied in a designated evaluation order to the aggregate report, applying a first filter to the aggregate report, and evaluating values in the aggregate report to produce aggregate values resulting from applying the first filter. The method also involves applying a next filter to the aggregate report and evaluating the aggregate values in the aggregate report resulting from applying the first filter therein producing aggregate values resulting from applying the next filter to the aggregate report. Additionally, the method involves displaying the aggregate report wherein evaluating values resulting from previously applying any filter to the aggregate report involves evaluating visual values displayed in the aggregate report after each previous filter has been applied. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110295871 | Filtering and Sorting Information - Generally described, embodiments of the present invention provide the ability to sort and/or filter information contained in a summary table based on related information that may not be included in the summary table. According to one aspect, a computer-readable medium having computer executable components for filtering or sorting information displayed in a summary table is provided. Included in the computer executable medium is a category receipt and identification component configured to receive selections of categories and identify related categories contained in a dataset represented by the summary table. Also included in the computer-readable medium is a filtering component and a sorting component, each configured to control the structure and criteria upon which information contained in a category displayed in the data summary table may be filtered or sorted. | 12-01-2011 |
