Method and apparatus for populating sparse matrix entries from corresponding data
 A system is provided for selecting an appropriate aggregated fact data table to use as the basis for calculating an aggregation request from a set of stored aggregated fact data tables. An estimate is established of the amount of processing time required to aggregate each of the tables. The table with the lowest estimate is then used to perform the aggregation.
