Query-based time-series data display and processing system

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• generating user interface data that, when rendered by a computing device, causes the computing device to display a user interface, wherein the user interface depicts a first data cell;
• receiving an indication that a first function is entered in the first data cell;
• generating a first query using the first function;
• retrieving a portion of a dataset using the first query;
• rendering a data visualization using the retrieved portion of the dataset;
• and
• updating the user interface data such that the user interface displays the rendered data visualization in the first data cell, while storing the first query as a value of the first data cell,
• wherein the method is performed using one or more processors.

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 executed, causes a display of a user interface, wherein the user interface depicts a first data cell;
• receive an indication that a first function is entered in the first data cell;
• generate a first query using the first function;
• retrieve a portion of a dataset using the first query;
• render a data visualization using the retrieved portion of the dataset;
• and
• update the user interface data such that the user interface displays the rendered data visualization in the first data cell, wherein the first query is stored in the first data cell.
