Abstract: Described are systems and methods for rendering a three-dimensional (3D) pivot table that can be embedded in a spreadsheet. A data structure underlying the 3D pivot table contains raw data organized in arrays that can be depicted as two-dimensional (2D) tables. A rendering system combines some or all of the 2D tables into a 3D rendering of a pivot table in which each of the combined sides represents a visible face of the 3D pivot table. A user can split the rendered 3D pivot table along one or three axes to expose internal data elements for viewing or editing. Changes to the values of internal data elements impact values presented in the visible faces of the 3D pivot table.

Abstract: Collaboration software allows collaborators to view and edit shared electronic files maintained at a central server for storage in a central “cloud.” Collaborators viewing instances of the same file are provided links to the views of other collaborators engaged with the file. Accessing one of these links provides a picture-in-picture (PiP) window of the corresponding collaborator's view. The PiP window can be expanded to review and edit that portion of the shared file under the collaborator's consideration. A project view extends this functionality to collection of files. Collaborators viewing the project view are provided links to the views of other collaborators engaged with one or more files associated with a project.
