1. A method of generating a data-based graphical representation, the method comprising: providing, to a user, a graphical user interface that comprises a plurality of selectable attribute names, each attribute name comprising a metric that is associated with a portion of data; receiving a user selection that comprises a first attribute name of the plurality of selectable attribute names and a key figure of a plurality of selectable key figures, each of the plurality of selectable key figures comprising a statistical value associated with attribute values of the plurality of selectable attribute names; in response to receiving the user selection of the first attribute name, progressively obtaining attribute values from a back-end server, wherein progressively obtaining includes: invoking a call to request a particular set of attribute values associated with the user-selected first attribute name from the back-end server that comprises a database, the database storing a plurality of sets of attribute values, each set of attribute values associated with one of the plurality of selectable attribute names; and receiving, from the back-end server, a response to the invoked call, the response comprising the particular set of attribute values that is limited to the attribute values associated with the user-selected first attribute name; progressively loading the attribute values to generate the graphical representation of a relationship between the particular set of attribute values associated with the user-selected first attribute name and a key figure of the particular set of attribute values, wherein progressively loading includes filtering the particular set of attribute values presented in a first version of the graphical representation to generate a second version of the graphical representation, the filtering according to a selection of at least one of the attribute values through the graphical user interface; and preparing the second version of the graphical representation for display on the graphical user interface.
