Abstract:
Embodiments are disclosed in which a process receives, via a graphical user interface (GUI) of a spreadsheet application, a function call. The function call includes a source string attribute identifying a string and a search string attribute identifying a substring to be identified in the string. The process performs a function associated with the function call by searching for the substring in the string and subsequently returning a subset of the string proximate to a location of the substring in the string.
Abstract:
Embodiments are disclosed in which a process generates, receives, or both, via a graphical user interface (GUI) of a spreadsheet application, an evaluation statement. The evaluation statement includes a cell identifier, and the cell identifier specifies a modal reference cell that provides an indication of a modal attribute to be used in the evaluation statement. The indication of the modal attribute comprises a textual indicator related to the modal attribute, but has a format that is different than the modal attribute. The process evaluates the textual indicator to be used by the evaluation statement to determine a corresponding modal attribute and calculates a solution to the evaluation statement using the corresponding modal attribute as the modal attribute of the evaluation statement. The process displays the solution via the GUI.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to the resizing of tables elements, such as rows or columns of a table. In one embodiment, a user selects two or more rows or columns to be resized and performs a column or row manipulation corresponding to the desired resize event, such as be interacting with an edge of one of the selected rows or columns. In an implementation, the user may toggle between the use of different resizing algorithms to see the effects of the different resizing algorithms.

Abstract:
Approaches are disclosed for maintaining spatial relationships (i.e., a layout) between a table object and other objects placed on a virtual canvas of an application work space. In certain implementations, offsets between the other objects and the table object are initially determined and are used to maintain the spatial relationships when the table object is resized. In certain implementations, the movement of the objects in response to a resize of the table object is dynamic from the user's perspective and can be easily undone.
Abstract:
An article, apparatus and methods are disclosed. The device and related methods involve a computing device including a program, such as a word processing program or spreadsheet program, configured to organize, through primary and other designations, table data and display, or otherwise use, the table of data. The program also provides a mechanism whereby by rows and columns may be prioritized for display, particularly on a relatively smaller mobile display. The prioritization(s) are then used by a device, whether the same or different than used to create provide the designations, to use the prioritizations to display the prioritized information, with other information being nested and displayable upon an interaction from a user, such as touching a displayed primary column cell to cause a secondary nested and related column cell to be displayed. In some instances, table designations occur automatically based on some attribute of the table or table data.
Abstract:
Automatic generation of custom palettes based on an image selected by a user is disclosed. In various embodiments, automatic palette generation may involve generating one or more than one palette based on the color or shading content of the image provided by the user. The generated palette may include a variety of colors (or shadings) that can be automatically mapped to and applied to various distinct features within a composite graphic construct to be customized.

Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for tracking spreadsheet table cells from a base table to an organized table/organized table view, and updating of a formula reference based on the tracked cells are provided. In some embodiments, cells may be tracked to convert a first range of cells in the base table into a second range of cells in the organized table/organized table view, such that the second range of cells includes the same cells as the first range of cells, despite any reorganization of rows and columns. In some embodiments, a summary reference cell that provides a sub-group summary based upon the grouping within the organized table/organized table view may also be provided.
