Abstract
Provided are a system and method for generating a preview of master data based on metadata thereof. In one example, a method includes receiving a data file including at least one table, identifying master data included in the at least one table of the data file and identifying metadata of the master data, auto-generating a visual preview of a measure of the master data based on metadata of the measure, and outputting, to a user interface, the visual preview of the measure and metadata values of the measure that are associated with the visual preview and which are capable of being changed via the user interface. The example embodiments allow a user to modify metadata associated with master data and provide a visual preview of the master data based on the changed metadata thereby giving the user instant validation of the change without requiring administrative (IT) assistance.
