Not easily. It would require a reasonable amount of customisation and if you're not a programmer, would probably be quite difficult. Since there could be dozens or hundreds of objects on each axis, which makes a table that scrolls horizontally and vertically. You end up needing to develop something equivalent to a spreadsheet display. It would be possible to do something like this, since there are existing Javascript widgets -- such as YUI's DataTable -- which allow that sort of scrollable display. But it's not an out-of-the-box, flick-a-switch option.
