A multidimensional query results processing system for translating output of an execution of a multidimensional query into a data result set that reflects the semantics of an entity/relationship schema report specification is provided. The system comprises a result set description generation module for producing a result set description that reflects the semantics of the report specification, a tabular row generation module for converting the results of the single multi-dimensional query into a collection of rows of data, a tabular summary level calculation module for calculating a summarization level of a row a data, a tabular header row generation module for producing a header row to include in the row of data, and a cross-tabulated result generation module for converting the results of the single multi-dimensional query into a result set that matches the semantics of the report specification.
