Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention provides a vehicle for the exchange of data between a database and an independent spreadsheet. Specifically, the present invention may be used to import data from a database to a spreadsheet and/or to export data to a spreadsheet. To facilitate this exchange, one or more controls are entered into cells in the spreadsheet. The controls specify the manner in which the data is exchanged between the database and the spreadsheet. For example, a control may specify a data type, a formatting parameter, a source field, a destination field, and/or a formula for a designated cell in the spreadsheet. The controls are executed by a linker that links the data in the database and the data in the spreadsheet to effect the exchange of data between the two.
