Abstract
The system includes an input interface and a processor. The input interface is to receive a spreadsheet and an indication of a spreadsheet cell of interest. The processor is to determine a first set of spreadsheet cells that the spreadsheet cell of interest depends on, determine a second set of spreadsheet cells that depend on the spreadsheet cell of interest, provide a spreadsheet cell data flow view for the spreadsheet cell of interest based at least in part on the first set of spreadsheet cells and the second set of spreadsheet cells, and in the event an indication of a new spreadsheet cell of interest is received, provide a spreadsheet cell data flow view for the new spreadsheet cell of interest.
