ABSTRACT:
A system and method for creating a custom grouping of data in a database. A custom group object is created, a plurality of custom group elements are defined, each of the custom group elements being a subset of the custom group object and being defined by a different filter, each one of the different filters representing a logical expression of qualifications based on the data or a derived calculation of the data. Each of the different filters is resolved against the data or a subset of the data, and the plurality of custom group elements are grouped into a consolidated result set which in not naturally existing in the data structure.
