1. A method for amending a display property of a grid element, the method comprising:
receiving a command to amend the display property of at least one grid element within a multi-dimensional grid, the multi-dimensional grid having a plurality of grid elements, wherein the multi-dimensional grid has at least one of a plurality of header columns and a plurality of header rows displayed in a hierarchy, wherein each header column and header row is a dimension, and wherein each dimension comprises one or more grid elements; searching within the multi-dimensional grid for one or more other grid elements that are associated with the at least one grid element; in response to locating the associated one or more other grid elements, a processor amending the display property of the at least one grid element and the associated one or more other grid elements; and in response to receiving a designation to simultaneously amend a display property of a plurality of members having a same member name:
acquiring a first tuple associated with a first header cell;searching among all tuples in the multi-dimensional grid for one or more tuples having a same member name as the first header cell, wherein a member is a grid element in a dimension that is displayed in one or more instances when expanded, wherein a header cell is located in one or more tuples, and wherein a tuple is a combination of multiple members from a plurality of dimensions; andupdating a header and a data cell within each of the one or more tuples having the same member name as the first header cell.
