Abstract: A messaging system in one embodiment includes a messaging app and a polling extension app. The polling extension app is configured to create data for a polling context that is displayed in a view hosted by the messaging app to allow voting by users selected for the poll and to update the polling context with the votes from the users. The messaging app launches the polling extension app, and the polling context is communicated between the polling extension app and the messaging app through an interprocess communication.

Abstract: Context sensitive computations in a spreadsheet application are disclosed. In some embodiments, semantics with respect to various spreadsheet operations are specified for each of a plurality of number formats in a spreadsheet application. The semantics associated with a particular number format specify behavior for values of that number format with respect to various spreadsheet operations.

Abstract: Approaches are disclosed for generating a menu that may be used to provide a set of bounded options for populating associated cells of a table. In certain embodiments, the menu is automatically generated based at least in part on the initial content of one or more cells to be associated with the menu. In certain embodiments, the options listed in the menu may be edited by a user or reformatted based on logic associated with the menu generation process.

Abstract: Automated population of location-based data and formulae into electronic documents is disclosed. In one embodiment, in response to detecting a user selection of a first data population control, first location-based data is populated in an electronic document, wherein the first location-based data includes data obtained from a location-data source. After the first location-based data is populated in the electronic document, in response to detecting a user selection of a second data population control, second location-based data and one or more formulae are populated in the electronic document, wherein the second location-based data includes data obtained from the location-data source, and wherein the one or more formulae are configured for performing calculations upon the first and second location-based data.

Abstract: Defining spreadsheet function behavior is disclosed. In some embodiments, in response to receiving a selection of a parameterized spreadsheet function behavior to be associated with a spreadsheet function, the parameterized spreadsheet function behavior is associated with the spreadsheet function based at least in part on the selection. In some embodiments, the parameterized spreadsheet function behavior is associated with a behavior of the function with respect to one or more arguments of the function.
