Abstract
The subject matter described herein relates to table detection in a spreadsheet. According to implementations of the subject matter described herein, there is proposed a solution for determining a table in a spreadsheet. In the solution, respective multiple attributes of multiple cells comprised in the spreadsheet may be extracted. Respective features of the multiple cells may be determined based on the extracted multiple attributes. The multiple cells may be divided into at least one candidate area based on the features. At least one candidate table in the spreadsheet may be determined based on the at least one candidate area. By means of the solution, respective features of the multiple cells comprised in the spreadsheet may be determined based on the respective attributes of the multiple cells, and further, a candidate region where a table might exist may be determined based on the respective features of the multiple cells.
