1. A graphical user interface for displaying metrics, said graphical user interface comprising:
- a hierarchical listing of a plurality of dimensions for selection of one or more constraints for the plurality of dimensions; and
a metric selector for selection of a metric;
wherein after the selection of the one or more constraints and the metric, the graphical user interface submits a query requesting calculations of the metric based on the one or more selected constraints.

Abstract
Disclosed is a system, method, and apparatus for calculating metrics by using hierarchical level metadata to describe the various structures within the database. The hierarchical level metadata permit calculation of complex metrics by an analytical server which would otherwise be difficult or impossible. As a result of the way that the analytical server calculates the metrics, slicing and drilling are supported. Additionally, dimension and fact level security are also supported.
