Method and apparatus for displaying function parameter in spreadsheet, and electronic device

An apparatus for providing a prompt of a function parameter in a spreadsheet to a user, comprising:

• a detection module, configured for obtaining a first function parameter of a function in the spreadsheet by detecting an operation of the first function parameter of the function inputting by a user accessing the spreadsheet;
• a determination module, configured for determining whether the first function parameter is associated with a dynamic constraint rule, wherein the dynamic constraint rule indicates a dynamic constraint between the first function parameter and a second function parameter of the function, wherein the first function parameter is associated with a first list of values in the spreadsheet and the second function parameter is associated with a second list of values in the spreadsheet;
• a processing module, configured for, in response to determining that the first function parameter is associated with the dynamic constraint rule, calculating a value range of the first function parameter based on the dynamic constraint rule;
• wherein the processing module comprises:
• a value obtaining sub-module, configured for obtaining a value range of the second function parameter of the function based on the second list of values, wherein the value range of the second function parameter is associated with the first function parameter through the dynamic constraint;
• and
• a calculation sub-module, configured for calculating the value range of the first function parameter based on the dynamic constraint, the value range of the second function parameter, and the first list of values, wherein the dynamic constraint is a relationship between the value ranges of the first and second function parameters such that the value ranges of the first function parameter changes based on the value ranges of the second function parameter, and the dynamic constraint is determined by retrieving a dynamic constraint parameter list for the spreadsheet;
• a prompt module, configured for presenting a prompt for the user, wherein the prompt displays the value range of the first function parameter for selection by the user.
