Abstract

Claims (58)

1 . A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one storage device configured to store computer-executable instructions, wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to at least:

generate user interface data that, when rendered by a user device, causes the user device to display a user interface, wherein the user interface includes at least a first data cell and a second data cell;

in response to a first function being entered in the first data cell, generate a first query based at least in part on the first function, and store the first query as a value of the first data cell;

receive an indication that the first function is pulled to the second data cell; and

in response to receiving the indication, generate a second query based at least in part on the first function and a location of the second data cell, and store the second query as a value of the second data cell.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first function includes a parameter, and wherein the parameter is modified in the second query based on a relative location of the second data cell as compared to the first data cell.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to at least:

further in response to receiving the indication, update the first function and enter the updated first function in the second data cell.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to at least:

determine a first data visualization based at least in part on execution of the first query;

update the user interface data such that the user interface includes the first data visualization in the first data cell; and

further in response to receiving the indication:

determine a second data visualization based at least in part on execution of the second query; and

update the user interface data such that the user interface includes the second data visualization in the second data cell.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the user interface is associated with a first software application, and wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to at least:

in response to a second software application receiving the first query from the first software application:

determine a second data visualization based at least in part on the first query; and

generate second user interface data that, when rendered by the user device, causes the user device to include a second user interface associated with the second software application, wherein the second user interface includes the second data visualization.

6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the second software application receives the first query via a drag operation provided by a user.

7 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to at least:

obtain an indication from the second software application that the second data visualization is modified;

generate a modified version of the first query based at least in part on the first function and the obtained indication;

determine a modified first data visualization based at least in part on execution of the modified version of the first query; and

update the user interface data such that the user interface includes the modified first data visualization in the first data cell.

8 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to at least:

in response to a third function being entered in a third data cell, generate a third query based at least in part on the first function and the third function, wherein the third function references the first function;

determine a third data visualization based at least in part on execution of the third query; and

update the user interface data such that the user interface includes the third data visualization in the third data cell.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the third function references a conditional formatting display operation, and wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to at least:

determine the third data visualization according to the conditional formatting display operation in response to a determination that a condition associated with the conditional formatting display operation occurred.

10 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to at least:

cache the first data visualization and the second data visualization; and

retrieve the first data visualization and the second data visualization from cache in response to reception of a re-paint operation.

11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein a first timestamp is stored in a third data cell, wherein the first function references the third data cell, and wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to at least:

generate the first query based at least in part on the first function and the first timestamp;

receive an indication that the third data cell is updated to store a second timestamp;

generate a third query based at least in part on the first function and the second timestamp; and

store the third query as the value of the first data cell.

12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first query identifies a number of available cell pixels, wherein a plurality of data retrieved by execution of the first query comprises, for each available cell pixel, a minimum value and a maximum value, and wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to at least:

determine a first data visualization by, for each available cell pixel, drawing a line from the respective minimum value to the respective maximum value.

13 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to at least:

in response to receiving an indication that the first data cell is resized, generate a modified first query based at least in part on the first function and a representation of a size of the resized first data cell.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the representation of the size of the resized first data cell comprises at least one of a number of available cell pixels in the resized first data cell or a time duration of a single pixel in the resized first data cell.

15 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first function comprises a display operation, and wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to at least:

determine a first data visualization based at least in part on the execution of the first query and the display operation.

16 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

generating user interface data that, when rendered by a user device, causes the user device to display a user interface, wherein the user interface includes at least a first data cell and a second data cell;

in response to a first function being entered in the first data cell, generating a first query based at least in part on the first function, and store the first query as a value of the first data cell;

receiving an indication that the first function is pulled to the second data cell; and

in response to receiving the indication, generating a second query based at least in part on the first function and a location of the second data cell, and store the second query as a value of the second data cell,

wherein the computer-implemented method is performed using one or more processors.

17 . One or more non-transitory, computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions, which if performed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to at least:

generate user interface data that, when rendered by a user device, causes the user device to display a user interface, wherein the user interface includes at least a first data cell and a second data cell;

in response to a first function being entered in the first data cell, generate a first query based at least in part on the first function, and store the first query as a value of the first data cell;

receive an indication that the first function is pulled to the second data cell; and

in response to receiving the indication, generate a second query based at least in part on the first function and a location of the second data cell, and store the second query as a value of the second data cell.
