| 20080276161 | Spreadsheet Rotating Cell Object - The Spreadsheet Rotating Cell Object provides an improvement to computer software spreadsheets which gives the computer user the ability to invoke the aid of an animated rotating cell object which rotates new data or data representations in and out of the spreadsheet cell. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090138789 | User interface for establishing mappings from internal metadata to external metadata - A solution is provided that allows a user to provide an alternate set of metadata for any number of data points within a report, while in a report design environment. They may lay down a grid on the work area and specify the data by placing the relevant dimensional metadata, extracted from the source, in the grid as row headings and column headings. The user may then select either a column or a row from the grid and upon doing so may be provided with a mechanism to define alternate metadata that can describe all data points that are in the column or row in the target system. This allows for a much more user-friendly environment in which to specify metadata mappings between internal sources and external sources. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090300474 | Computer-based architecture using remotely-controlled electronic grid-based calculators - The present invention comprises a centrally-maintained electronic grid-based calculator and requisite service-oriented architecture to expose the calculator's computational facilities as a service to remote users. Furthermore, the present invention provides a server-side automation architecture of the electronic grid-based calculator which facilitates the distribution of intellectual capital throughout the business enterprise while providing real-time collection, analysis, and reporting of each distributed calculator while facilitating data production, data concurrency, data validation, data security, version control, audit trail, centralized reporting, internal control, quality control, computation, editing and communication. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090327851 | Data analysis method - A data analysis method is disclosed. The method comprises aggregating related data tables with dissimilar data structures, and combining the tables, and data structures, into a single table that incorporates all the individual data structures. The single table is then analyzed via a pivot table function of a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel. The method is suited for quickly comparing related but dissimilar sets of data—an important task in virtually every field of human endeavor, from manufacturing to health care to financial services. The present invention provides an improved way to quickly access important strategic information using multiple sources of data. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100017698 | Flexible Multiple Spreadsheet Data Consolidation System - Methods and systems are disclosed that include consolidating data from multiple spreadsheets. Consolidating data from multiple spreadsheets includes receiving a selection of a plurality of spreadsheets via a graphical control panel that includes a spreadsheet selection area. The spreadsheet selection area includes a workbook selection area to select workbooks that are not open for inclusion in the selection of the plurality of spreadsheets. Consolidating data from multiple spreadsheets further includes receiving a selection of portions of data from the plurality of spreadsheets and executing automated consolidation of the portions of data by retrieving the portions of data and generating a final report spreadsheet. Consolidating data from multiple spreadsheets further includes appending the portions of data to the final report spreadsheet. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100083086 | Providing spreadsheet features - Heuristic based feature degradation and/or restoration is disclosed. In some embodiments, providing a feature with respect to a set of cells includes determining that a degradation threshold associated with the feature is satisfied with respect to the set of cells and at least partially degrading the feature for the set of cells. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20160132480 | Integrated, Configurable, Analytical, Temporal, Visual Electronic Plan System - An integrated, configurable, analytical, temporal, visual, electronic plan system including one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in a memory and configured to be executed by one or more processors, the programs including instructions to generate: an electronic plan including one or more row descriptors each including a plurality of row descriptor properties, one or more column descriptors each including a plurality of column descriptor properties, one or more cells mapped to one of the row descriptors by a unique row descriptor identifier and to one of the column descriptors by a unique column descriptor identifier, and each of the one or more cells including a numeric formula or a user-defined formula that references one or more other cells, the user-defined formula including the unique row descriptor identifier and/or the unique column descriptor identifier from one or more other cells initially expressed by an abbreviation associated with a row descriptor and/or an abbreviation associated with a column descriptor. A formula parser is configured to translate the abbreviation for the row descriptor and/or the abbreviation for the column descriptor to its corresponding unique row descriptor identifier and/or unique column descriptor identifier. A natural language report module is configured to substitute any unique row identifier and/or any unique column descriptor identifier in the user-defined formula with a corresponding natural language description or abbreviation to render the user-defined formula in natural language terms or abbreviated terms. | 05-12-2016 |
| 20160154780 | Formula and Function Generation and Use in Electronic Spreadsheets | 06-02-2016 |
| 20190147016 | Method of Comparing Two Data Tables and Displaying the Results Without Source Formatting | 05-16-2019 |
