UPDATING OF DATABASE DATA ASSOCIATED WITH SPREADSHEET STRUCTURES

Abstract:

A system includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a request to create planning spreadsheet data. The processor is configured to: generate the planning spreadsheet data based at least in part on actual data from a previous time period, where the planning spreadsheet data is saved in a planning spreadsheet; receive an indication that the actual data has changed to an updated actual data; prompt a user of the planning spreadsheet to indicate whether or not to update the planning spreadsheet in response to the indication that the actual data has changed; and generate an alternate planning spreadsheet data based at least in part on the updated actual data in response to an indication not to update the planning spreadsheet, where the alternate planning spreadsheet data is saved in an alternate planning spreadsheet.
