Functional:it is used to show a data in a matrix. E.g. If you have N items and M locations and you want to know the inventory of each item in each location, you can write it as a list : e.g.

Item 1 ; Location 1 = inventory qty
Item 1 ; Location 2 = inventory qty
Item 1 ; Location 3 = inventory qty
Item 2 ; Location 1 = inventory qty
Item 2 ; Location 2 = inventory qty
Item 2 ; Location 3 = inventory qty

But it is not efficient, if you put the items in rows and locations in columns, you have your information in a much more efficient way.
Look at Form 491 (Item card => Menubutton Item => Items by location). You can use this form as an example.
Another example is F113:Budget.

I'll send a fob with more info on how to create a matrix-box to Luc Van Dyck to put into the How-To's-section. So check there from time to time.
