1. A method to be executed at least in part in a computing device for de-normalizing multi-dimensional data, the method comprising:

  • receiving data from a multi-dimensional data structure at a processor;

    transforming the received data to be provided in a two-dimensional data structure by;

    iterating through each column dimension and row dimension hierarchy in the multi-dimensional data structure identifying each unique dimension;

    iterating through each column metric and row metric in the multi-dimensional data structure identifying each unique metric;

    creating a column for each identified unique dimension and metric; and

    creating a value column to include data corresponding to each uniquely identified metric and dimension combination; and

    outputting the data in the two-dimensional data structure.
