Abstract
A data analysis method, apparatus, and storage medium having computer readable program instructions embodied therein for use on a spreadsheet software having a plurality of cells displayed as a two-dimensional table on a computer including assigning to a first cell a definition of array representation data including a single array or multiple arrays of data, displaying to the first cell a first array display button, and selectively displaying the array representation data in a graphical or table format using an array data display device when the array display button is selected.
Claims14
A data analysis method for use on a spreadsheet software having a plurality of cells displayed as a two-dimensional table on a computer, comprising:
- assigning to a first cell a definition of array representation data including a single array or multiple arrays of data;
- displaying to said first cell a first array display button;
- and
- selectively displaying said array representation data in a graphical or table format using an array data display device when said first array display button is selected.
A data analysis apparatus comprising:
- a spreadsheet definition device that assigns a definition of array representation data to a first cell on a spreadsheet software having a plurality of cells displayed as a two-dimensional table on a computer;
- and
- an array data display device that displays to said first cell a first array display button and selectively displays said array representation data in graphical or table format when said array display button is selected.
A data analysis method comprising:
- displaying data to a first cell on a spreadsheet software having a plurality of cells displayed as a two-dimensional table on a computer that displays a numeric value when said data assigned to said first cell is scalar representation data;
- and
- displaying an array display button when said data assigned to said first cell is array representation data.
A storage medium having computer readable program instructions embodied therein for spreadsheet data analysis, said storage medium comprising:
- program instructions for assigning to a first cell a definition of array representation data including a single array or multiple arrays of data;
- program instructions for displaying to said first cell an array display button;
- and
- program instructions for selectively displaying said array representation data in a graphical or table format using an array data display device when said array display button is selected.
A storage medium having computer readable program instructions embodied therein for spreadsheet data analysis, said storage medium comprising:
- program instructions for controlling a spreadsheet definition device to assign to a first cell on a spreadsheet a definition of array representation data;
- and
- program instructions for controlling an array data display device to display to said first cell an array display button and selectively displays said array representation data in graphical or table format when said array display button is selected.
A storage medium having computer readable program instructions embodied therein for spreadsheet data analysis, said storage medium comprising:
- program instructions for displaying data to a first cell on a spreadsheet that displays numeric values when said data assigned to said first cell are scalar representation data;
- and
- displaying an array display button when said data assigned to said first cell are array representation data.
