Abstract

A data display system and method that provides for creation of multidimensional data displays in which the dimensions have one or more dimension elements and the display has display cells at dimension element intersections. Provisions are made for allowing rearrangement of display dimensions, reordering of display elements, and sorting within any dimension along with the maintenance of topological formulas during insertions, deletions, sorting and rearrangements. Further included is provision for support of both symmetrical and asymmetrical multidimensional spreadsheets.
