ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method includes selecting a first member of a first dimension of a database to be included at a first location in a report. The first member includes first data to be retrieved from the database. A blank space to be added at a second location relative to the first member is also selected. A database query is generated that includes a first instruction to retrieve first data included in the first member. The first instruction is located at a first position in the query and the first data will appear in the report at the first location. The database query also includes a second instruction to retrieve a null set of data. The second instruction is located at a second position in the query and the null set of data will appear in the report at the second location.
