At least one analytical operation from a set of different analytical operations may be determined based on at least one input. The input(s) may comprise contextual information of working content being displayed to a user on a device and comprising numerical data. Supplemental information for the working content may be generated using the determined analytical operation(s), may comprise a numerical-based analysis of the numerical data, and may be caused to be displayed to the user concurrently with the working content. The contextual information may comprise structured data. The input(s) may further comprise at least one of a history of the user's interactions with the working content, a history of the user's interactions with recommendations of supplemental information for the working content, a history of other users' interactions with the working content, and a history of other users' interactions with recommendations of supplemental information for the working content.

Methods and systems of providing supplemental informaton

Disclosed are methods and systems for generating dynamic context aware help for operations supported by at least one reporting system. The methods and systems relate to receiving a help request for an operation from a client computer including at least one report file, analyzing the at least one report file to generate context data, dynamically generating help data according to the context data and the operation and sending the generated help data to the client computer.

Context driven help function

A computer-readable medium includes a report generator configured to process a current version of a data set to generate a report including a data item. The computer-readable medium also includes a report data change tracker configured to identify a change in the data item with respect to a previous version of the data set. The computer-readable medium further includes a report data change presenter configured to superimpose an indication of the change onto the report.

Apparatus and method for generating reports from versioned data

A computer implemented method includes selecting a portion of a data set in a first visualization. A list of visualizations relevant to the context inferred from the selection of the portion of the data set in the first visualization is generated. A second visualization from the list of visualizations is rendered.

Apparatus and method for visualizing data

A computer readable medium includes executable instructions to form a report; process trust values, where each trust value characterizes the accuracy of an attribute of the report; combine trust values to provide an aggregate trust value associated with the report; and supply a user with the report and the aggregate trust value.
