Abstract: The present disclosure describes a value referred to as a compound object that stores multiple values in a single cell, wherein those multiple values are organized according to a defined structure. The compound object may store multiple values according to a known defined data structure such as, for example, a record, vector, matrix, table, or array. In other embodiments, the compound object may store multiple values as any nested combination of any one of the known or user-defined data structures. Each of the values stored in the compound object are individually referenceable and can fully participate with spreadsheet functionality including calculations, referencing, and formatting.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for implementing rich data types in a spreadsheet application. Generally, a value being of a rich data type is as a type of value that has context and established relationships with other types of data. In particular, a rich data type is a data value having associated context, which may be units (e.g., inches, miles, meters, kilograms, seconds, joules, hertz, Fahrenheit, etc.) or other information about the data's type (e.g., city, stock, NCAA football team, car, restaurant, school, etc.). Additionally, a value being of a rich data type further includes established relationships with other types of data.

Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for associating audio files with one or more cells in a spreadsheet application. As described, one or more audio files may be associated with a single cell in a spreadsheet application or it may be associated with a range of cells in the spreadsheet application. Information about the audio file, such playback properties and other parameters, may be retrieved from the audio file. Once retrieved, a calculation engine of the spreadsheet application may perform one or more calculations on the information in order to change the content of audio file, the playback of the audio files and so on.
