Abstract
Cross-tabular reports may be automatically created by a computer from received source data. After receiving the source data, the computer may determine different information types associated with fields contained in the source data. The computer may then score each field based on the information types. A score describes a suitable placement of each field as a cross-tabular report row, a cross-tabular report column or a cross-tabular report value field. The computer may then select the fields having the highest score for placement as cross-tabular report rows, cross-tabular report columns or cross-tabular report value fields in a cross-tabular report. Finally, the computer may build the cross-tabular report with the selected fields.
