Abstract
A spreadsheet file and a dashboard structure file characterizing a dashboard are received. These files are then analyzed to determine dependencies. Subsequently, for each determined dependency, an event listener is registered for a dependent component that corresponds to the determined dependency. These event listeners are notified of an event from an event source when a corresponding dependee is changed. Dependent components are then updated using data from a corresponding dependee in response to event notifications so that each updated dependent component can be rendered within the dashboard. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
