Abstract

Methods and systems for selecting multiple rows, columns, and/or cells are described. A user opens or otherwise accesses a file or document containing multiple rows, columns, and/or cells. The user hover a cursor or pointer over a particular row, column, or cell, or the user touches a particular row, column, or cell on a touchscreen. A single checkbox appears for that particular row, column, or cell. When the user selects that checkbox, unselected checkboxes for the other rows, columns, or cells appear. From there, the user can choose to select all the checkboxes or just some of the checkboxes to perform a mass action on the selected rows, columns, or cells.
