AUTOMATIC PROPAGATION OF COLUMN VALUES FROM A SOURCE APPLICATION TO MULTIPLE DESTINATION APPLICATIONS

Abstract:

This disclosure relates to a method executed on a computer server in a data communication network. First, a source column identifier and a source spreadsheet identifier may be received from a source spreadsheet application. An extended column address comprising the source column identifier and source spreadsheet identifier may then be published. Next, the extended column address may be made selectable by at least one destination spreadsheet application over the data communication network. Then, a selection of the extended column address and a destination column identifier in a destination spreadsheet may be received from the at least one destination spreadsheet application. Finally, the destination column may be associated with the extended column address such that values of the source column are presented in a dropdown list for cells of the destination column in response to activation of cells of the destination column in the destination spreadsheet application.
