Summary:Provided is a system, method, and program for specifying multidimensional calculations. Selection of a subset of a cube model metadata object that is generated from a facts metadata object and one or more dimension metadata objects is received. The facts metadata object references one or more measure metadata objects. A statement is generated for retrieving multidimensional information using metadata in the cube model metadata object and the measure metadata objects, wherein each of the measure metadata objects specifies one or more aggregations.
