Systems and methods of the present disclosure may read source data corresponding to a source variable and apply a transformation to the source variable to generate an output variable. Accordingly, one such method comprises receiving a request to generate an output variable by applying one or more data transformations to a source variable; before applying an actual data transformation to the source variable, checking a database of prior data transformations that have been applied to source variables to generate existing output variables for a match with the requested one or more data transformations to the source variable; determining that a match exists in the database, wherein the match is associated with an existing output variable; and/or responding to the request by providing the existing output variable associated with the match that exists in the database of prior data transformations.
