What you could do is create a 7-sided cube... No, hang on, cubes have 4 sides. Well, you could make a cube with 3 points per side and 1 base and... hang on, no ...that's a pyramid. Okay, then you could create a circle and generate a curve inside it, with two spots and smaller circle. No, that's not right; that's a smiley face. :o) Oh, I don't know. ...I'll just delete this email by clicking the ...whoops... sorry, that'd be the Send button.

There isn't "the user" and there isn't "6 key fields". There are 500 reports, some have three fields, some have twelve fields. The entire data set of reports in total utilizes 50 different numeric or date fields. So no I wouldn't create a cube with 6 fields. I would create a cube with 50 fields and create 500 views into it.. or your software would have to allow users to easily create and save their own views. The point being that it's not a magic bullet. I or they STILL have to create those 500 views ...
