Abstract
A system for spreadsheet region and cell sharing using formula templates includes a processor and an interface. The processor is to parse a formula of a first cell of a first spreadsheet document for a second cell, the first spreadsheet document being associated with a first user having a set of user access descriptors and to determine, based on the set of user access descriptors, whether the first user has access to one or more canonical names referenced in the formula. The interface is to provide display information to the first user either the canonical name in the event that the first user has access to the canonical name or an opaque identifier in the event that the first user does not have access to the canonical name.
