Abstract: A document application is used to interact with a document as if the document was an application. Data from the document is automatically/manually selected to be associated with the document application. The document application displays document application pages (DAPs) that are used to interact with the document. One or more DAPs are automatically created using the selected data along with any rules associated with the data. For example, column names from selected data in the document may be used to create data entry/display fields within one or more DAPs and the rules may be used to specify how to interact with the data in the document application. The automatically created default DAPs may be customized by a user. For example, one DAP may be configured to be the starting page for the document application and another DAP may be configured to display a chart.

Abstract: A formula bar is used for receiving user input for entry/editing of formulas using touch input and/or a Soft Input Panel (SIP) designed for formula input. In response to a user initiating entry of a formula, a list of formulas is displayed based on the user's input. A formula may be selected and displayed within the formula bar with a parameter highlighted. The user may then enter the value for the parameter (e.g. a single value, a range, another formula, and the like) using touch input and/or SIP input. As the user enters the value for each parameter, the next parameter for the formula is automatically highlighted. The formula may be validated to determine if the parameters for the formula have been entered correctly. Tips may also be displayed in/near the display of the formula bar to provide assistance to the user entering the formula.

Abstract: Embodiments provide electronic spreadsheet viewing and interaction features and functionalities, but the embodiments are not so limited. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method can be configured to provide a cell view launch indicator or interface that alerts a user that a selected cell includes additional content not being currently displayed. The cell view launch indicator can be activated and use a cell view mode to launch a separately controllable cell view window or portion. Other embodiments are included.

Abstract: Touch input is used for multi-selection of cells within a spreadsheet. For example, a user may drag a finger across the cells of the spreadsheet that they would like to select. The multi-selection of cells may include cells within one or more rows and one or more columns of the spreadsheet. The multi-selection may be adjusted to select more or fewer cells within the multi-selection. The multi-selection of cells may be used for different purposes. For example, the cells within the multi-selection may be used to display summary information related to the multi-selection (e.g. sum, average, median, min, max, count, and the like). The multi-selection may also be used to provide input to a formula that is currently being edited (e.g. a range of cells).
