Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for processing a natural language query on data tables. According to some embodiments, a natural language query may be originated by a user via a user interface. The natural language query may be parsed to obtain a query term, and a grid range may be identified in a data table as relevant to the query term. A table summary may be prepared including a plurality of characteristics based on the grid range. A logic operation may then be determined to apply on the plurality of characteristics to derive the query term. The logic operation may then be translated into a formula executable on the data table, and the formula is applied on the data table to generate a result in response to the natural language query.
