Abstract

See full text

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for conditioning the distribution of data in a hierarchical database. A data store can store data in a hierarchical format. Higher-level data, such as yearly profit, may be desired to be spread from parent nodes to lower nodes, such as quarters. Parent nodes can be associated with a set of programmatic placeholder nodes. A spreading tool can insert child nodes representing quarters, months, or other at insertion point(s) represented or encoded by a set of placeholder nodes, dividing quantities appropriately. In aspects, data can be spread from multiple parents at once. In aspects, the spreading tool can access or host sequence logic to ensure that data is spread in an order that takes dependencies, formatting, output connections, or other factors into account.
