1. A method for visualizing a multidimensional dataset, comprising:

  • at a computing device having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors;

    identifying a dimensional hierarchy associated with the multidimensional dataset, wherein the dimensional hierarchy includes at least a first dimension and a sub-dimension of the first dimension;

    displaying a graphical user interface window that includes a schema display region and a data visualization region that is distinct from the schema display region, wherein the schema display region includes a display of metadata for the plurality of dimensions and measures, including the first dimension and the sub-dimension;

    detecting user requests to associate the metadata identifying the first dimension with a first axis shelf in the data visualization region and to associate the metadata identifying the sub-dimension with a second axis shelf in the data visualization region;

    in response to the user requests,generating a plurality of panes for a visual table in the data visualization region, wherein each pane has a first axis corresponding to the first dimension associated with the first axis shelf and a second axis corresponding to the sub-dimension associated with the second axis shelf, and wherein the second axis is in a different direction from the first axis; and

    populating each pane in the visual table with a plurality of displayed marks, wherein each displayed mark corresponds to a respective tuple in the multidimensional dataset.
