Abstract: A spreadsheet population method, system, and computer program product include associating text with a spreadsheet, the text including candidate data items for populating the spreadsheet, building a multi-dimensional analogy model where each dimension comprises a unique pair of data items where the data items co-occur within a same context window, accepting example data items in the spreadsheet where the data items form tuples in a same implicit relationship according to a spatial configuration, and performing an assistance operation on the spreadsheet using the data item tuples retrieved using the analogy model from the example data items.
