Abstract: A descriptor of a dynamically materialized view is stored. The descriptor includes a query to select a subset of cells from a data sheet, and a result of executing the query. In response to an update directed to the data sheet, the result stored in the descriptor is modified based on re-executing the query, and a notification is transmitted to an execution platform at which an application whose output depends on the dynamically materialized view runs.

Abstract: In response to a determination that a first logical table is to be created in a data sheet, a respective row identifier is generated and stored for individual rows of the first logical table. To indicate a relationship between a particular cell of another logical table and a particular row of the first logical table, the row identifier of the particular row is stored. After a modification of a value stored in the particular row, the row identifier is used to determine an updated value to be displayed in the particular cell of the other logical table.

Abstract: Representations of a set of cards are displayed via an application authoring interface. A given card represents one or more screen layouts of an application, and contents of a particular card are based on contents of a data sheet materialized in accordance with a data model which enables automatic instantiation of child data sheets associated with a parent cell within a parent data sheet. In response to detecting an edit operation directed at a particular card, an updated representation of the particular card is displayed at the first application authoring interface, and a screen layout corresponding to the updated representation is rendered at a particular mobile computing device.

Abstract: At a data management service, an index structure corresponding to a data sheet is stored. The data sheet comprises a grid of cells. An entry of the index structure comprises a reference to content of a cell of the data sheet. In response to a grid structure change of the data sheet, the index entry is automatically updated such that the same content remains referenced from the index entry as before. A result of a computation of an application is obtained using an identifier of the index entry to obtain content from the data sheet. The result is provided to a destination.

Abstract: At a data management service, a child template associated with a parent group of one or more cells of a first data sheet is stored. In response to detecting that a parent cell has been added to the parent group, a particular child data sheet is instantiated automatically in accordance with the template. In response to a change to a value in a first cell of the child data sheet, a corresponding value of a cell of the first data sheet is modified.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing and reporting data from multiple sources is provided. The system is a foundation for an analytical platform that covers not only traditional relational data, but also a new generation of extensible data formats designed for the web, such as those based on XML (FIXML, FpML, ebXML, XBRL, ACORD, etc.), as well as HTML, E-mail, Excel, PDF, and others. In a preferred embodiment, the eXtensible on-line analytical processing (XOLAP), is a scalable client/server platform that allows the multi-dimensional analysis of modern data types, as well as traditional relational data, by bringing them all into an internal common XML-based model, without the time and expense of creating a data warehouse.
