Abstract
In an electronic spreadsheet, an example of a solution provided here comprises defining boolean variables in a table, referencing the boolean variables in one or more cells, and determining the content of the cells. Such a solution may involve managing the boolean variables (also referred to as options) by creating a new option, renaming an existing option, or changing the status of an existing option, for example.
