Some embodiments provide a program that receives from a client device a dimension value for a first dimension in a plurality of dimensions of a data model and a measure in a set of measures of the data model. The program further determines a cardinality of dimension values for each dimension in the plurality of dimensions. The program also selects a subset of dimensions in the plurality of dimensions based on the cardinalities of dimension values for the plurality of dimensions. The program further sends the subset of dimensions in the plurality of dimensions to the client device. The program also receives from the client device a request for a chart visualization comprising data values associated with the measure and categorized according to a second dimension in the subset of dimensions. In response to the request, the program further sends the chart visualization to the client device.
