  - getRowHeaders
```
Object[][] getRowHeaders()
```
    Returns:
    
    a 2D grid that represents row headers. NOTE: 2D data will return null for the row header. Multidimensional data will return N x M where M is the number of dimensions and N is the number of rows. With the 0 index for M representing the innermost dimension. This method has been moved here from IPentahoMetaData
  - getFlattenedColumnNames
```
String[] getFlattenedColumnNames()
```
    Gets the column names. These names include the names of the row dimensions and flattened column headers
    
    Returns:
  - getRowHeaderNames
```
String[] getRowHeaderNames()
```
    Gets the names of the row dimensions
    
    Returns:
  - setColumnNameFormat
```
void setColumnNameFormat(String formatStr)
```
    Sets the column name format string. The values in the column headers will be inserted into the format template based on their index (0 based). e.g if the column headers are: 2009 2009 2008 Apr Jan Oct and the format string is {1}-{0} the column names will end up as: Apr-2009,Jan-2009,Oct-2008
