Abstract: A method includes receiving a spreadsheet application that is executable using a spreadsheet program; converting the spreadsheet application into a data file that defines characteristics of a networked version of the spreadsheet application that was converted from the spreadsheet application by applying permissions that are set in the spreadsheet application and not applied in the spreadsheet application, wherein the characteristics are defined based on the permissions and include information defining cells of the networked version of the spreadsheet application that are displayable to a user of the networked version of the spreadsheet application; and transmitting the data file to a server to make the data file available to network users as the networked version of the spreadsheet application.

Abstract: A method of simultaneous multiuser collaborative access to a spreadsheet includes transmitting the spreadsheet to a first device of a first user having a first privilege for a first part that includes a first cell, transmitting the spreadsheet to a second device of a second user having a second privilege for a second part, receiving a first edit of the first cell from the first device, and a second edit of the second cell from the second device, and in response to the first cell and the second cell being different, the first privilege including an edit privilege, and the second privilege including the edit privilege, accepting the first edit, accepting the second edit, forwarding the first edit for display with the first cell at the second device, and providing, to the second device, a real-time visual indication identifying the first user as a last user editing the first part.

Abstract: A networked version of a spreadsheet application can be automatically created from an existing “conventional” spreadsheet. In one implementation, a server may obtain a data file, where the data file represents a networked version of a spreadsheet application that was converted from the “conventional” application and the data file defines characteristics of the networked version of the spreadsheet application including logic and interactivity attributes of cells in the networked version of the spreadsheet application. A remote request may be received from a client to access the networked version of the spreadsheet application. In response, the server may transmit a document to the client that represents a portion of the networked version of the spreadsheet application that the interactivity attributes specify as being displayable to the client.
