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.
