Operations on dynamic data associated with cells in spreadsheets

Abstract:

Systems for performing operations on dynamic data associated with cells of a spreadsheet are provided. Both dynamic data and static data may be associated with a single cell of the spreadsheet. Upon association, parameters (including stream attributes, video attributes, image attributes and audio attributes) may be manipulated by a user, providing dynamic data processing functionality within a spreadsheet. Controls may be provided for playing the dynamic data and/or playing the dynamic data in response to spreadsheet data satisfying a condition. Operations for inserting text transcriptions (e.g., speech-to-text) of an audio track associated with dynamic data as subtitles may further be provided. Spreadsheet operations (e.g., sort and/or filter operations) may also be performed on a range of cells based on parameters of associated dynamic data.
