Abstract

See full text

A system and method for connecting electronic spreadsheets through a local area network are provided in which the spreadsheet programs are separate from the databases upon which they operate. The databases are multidimensional with each cell or datum identified by a unique set of element identifiers. The system and method allow users to create and control their own spreadsheet models while working with one, consistent pool of information. Changes in data effected by one user are reflected in the spreadsheets of all users, thereby guaranteeing consistent results for an entire work group at all times. Access restriction parameters for each user for each element of each dimension of the database also are provided. Multiple levels of consolidation values for each dimension of the database are calculated and updated automatically.
