Abstract
Dynamic data loading of tabular data includes identifying a plurality of formulas within tabular data of a document, wherein the tabular data is arranged in cells. Using a processor, a hierarchy for the tabular data is determined according to cell dependencies defined in the formulas. Each of a plurality of different portions of the document is sent from a first computing system to a second computing system in an order determined from the hierarchy.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- identifying a plurality of formulas within tabular data of a document, wherein the tabular data is arranged in cells;
- determining, using a processor, a hierarchy for the tabular data according to cell dependencies defined in the formulas;
- and
- sending each of a plurality of different portions of the document from a first computing system to a second computing system in an order determined from the hierarchy.
A system, comprising:
- a processor programmed to initiate executable operations comprising:
- identifying a plurality of formulas within tabular data of a document, wherein the tabular data is arranged in cells;
- determining a hierarchy for the tabular data according to cell dependencies defined in the formulas;
- and
- sending each of a plurality of different portions of the document from a first computing system to a second computing system in an order determined from the hierarchy.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code stored thereon, the program code executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:
- identifying, using the processor, a plurality of formulas within tabular data of a document, wherein the tabular data is arranged in cells;
- determining, using the processor, a hierarchy for the tabular data according to cell dependencies defined in the formulas;
- and
- sending, using the processor, each of a plurality of different portions of the document from a first computing system to a second computing system in an order determined from the hierarchy.
