Rows and Columns - The grid displays levels along the rows and columns axis. You can create views with levels on one axis (rows or columns) or levels on both axes.

• Header Cells - Header cells contain names of levels and attribute relationships. In the above image, the row levels are Region and Customer Ship-To. The column level is Sales Dir. The other header cells are for their attribute relationships that were selected for display in the view.

• Detail Cells - Detail cells contain level member and attribute relationship values. In this example, the member values for first level on rows are 330 and 331. That set of cells is known as the display text. Next are the values for the Rgn Long Description attribute relationship. You have the option of designating an attribute relationship as the display text rather than the member value. The detail cells on the columns axis show the 231 member and Helen Briggs attribute relationship value.
