Re: Re: Many columns (as FK) vs 3x more Columns (in the same table)

I'm a little confused here.

You have a 15x3x3 set of data to display in a 3 column, 15 row datagrid?
Are you displaying a single value in each cell of the datagrid, or all 3 
values for the cell?
How many variables are needed to uniquely select a piece of data from 
that 3-dimensional space?

Can you provide a little more detail about the data?
