Abstract

An example of a solution provided here involves identifying two series of cells to be compared in a multi dimensional spreadsheet, performing intermediary tests, and deriving the result of the comparison: the first series may be included in the second series, include the second series, be the same as the second series, overlap the second series, or be disjoined from the second series, for example.
