Abstract
Techniques are described for modeling hierarchical information from a data source. In one example, a method for modeling hierarchical information from the data source includes outputting for display a plurality of columns that represent corresponding data sets in the data source and each comprise values from the corresponding data set. The method further includes receiving an input indicating a selected value from a first column that corresponds to a first data set in the data source, and the selected value is comprised in the first data set. The method further includes receiving an input indicating a second column that corresponds to a second data set from the data source. The method further includes outputting for display a filtered view of the second column that comprises a subset of values from the second data set that are associated in the data source with the selected value in the first data set.
