Hi Murru,
about Delta Initialization you should consider the following example. You need to extract from a a DS (let's say a simple table) using a field as "Change Date". If the table is already filled when you implement your extractor and execute first loading (initialization) you need to extract "past" data and to set somewhere the Date up to which record are already extracted, in order to understand which ones are new (and so to be loaded). This is what initialization does. A Delta loading will extract all data from that Date up to now (or eventually considering a safety limit).
About Cell definition: if you have defined two structures in your query (one for the rows and one for the columns). You can specify a different bahaviour for each cell of the matrix, creating a Cells definition that will change the cell content ...

Welcom on board ... and let me suggest to post two different threads next time, each one with its own title.
Hope it helps
