A data structure for tabular data arranged in rows and columns. The data structure includes a header portion including a generic columnar processing information table, and a data portion for storing data in rows, the data portion further identifying a table containing generic columnar processing information to be used in processing selected cells in the row. In a refinement, each row in the data structure includes a row header including a row number and at least one cell, the row number identifying a row in a table for the cell. As a further refinement, each cell includes a header portion and a value portion, the header portion containing a cell number identifying a column in a table for the cell.
