A system, method, and device for updating a base version of a hypercube are provided. The method includes (i) obtaining a request for a planning session with respect to a hypercube; and (ii) in response to obtaining the request: (a) determining that the planning session uses a base version of the hypercube, (b) receiving a value input to update a particular location in the hypercube, (c) storing the value for the particular location in the base version of the hypercube, and (d) propagating an update to the particular location of the base version of the hypercube to one or more scenario versions having a dependency on the base version.

What if scenario planning—updating a base plan version

A system for updating a hypercube includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive an indication to update a cell of the hypercube. The processor is configured to determine a primary dimension value associated with the cell; determine a group of dependencies based at least in part on the primary dimension value, wherein a dependency of the group of dependencies comprises one or more primary dimension values and a pattern; for the dependency of the group of dependencies, determine a set of source locations based at least in part on the one or more primary dimension values and the pattern; and mark the set of source locations as invalid.

A system for determining access for a hypercube includes an interface configured to receive a request for access from a user to data in a location in a hypercube; receive a tree structure with subcubes of the hypercube arranged in a hierarchical structure; and receive a user permission list, wherein an element of the user permission list comprises a permission, a root node, and a set of pruned nodes. The system also includes a processor configured to determine a user permission associated with the data in the location of the hypercube using the user permission list; and provide an indication of the user permission.

A system for caching includes an interface to receive a portion of a hypercube to evaluate. The hypercube includes cells with a set of the cells having a formula. The system includes a processor to determine term(s) in the formula for each cell of the set of cells; remove from consideration a time dimension and/or a primary dimension for the term(s) in the formula for each cell of the set of cells; determine a set of distinct terms using the term(s); determine whether a total number of terms in the set of cells is larger than a number of distinct terms in the set of distinct terms; and in response to determining that the total number of terms in the set of cells is larger than the number of distinct terms in the set of distinct terms, indicate to cache the set of distinct terms during evaluation.
