Abstract

Systems and methods for providing filters for collaborative spreadsheets include storing a spreadsheet on a server, where the spreadsheet comprises a plurality of sheets, granting a plurality of client computers concurrent access to the spreadsheet, and receiving from the plurality of client computers a plurality of filters to be applied to a first sheet in the plurality of sheets. The plurality of filters are stored on the server, and the plurality of filters is associated with the first sheet. The plurality of filters are provided to each client computer. When a user on a first client computer in the plurality of client computers applies a first filter in the plurality of filters to the first sheet, the display of the first sheet on a second client computer in the plurality of client computers is independent of the filter application on the first client computer.
