Abstract

Spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel are OLAP(On-Line Analytical Processing) [2] applications to easily analyze complex multidimensional data. In general, spreadsheets provide grid-like graphical interfaces together with various chart tools [4,5]. However, previous work on OLAP spreadsheets adopts a naive approach that directly retrieves, transmits, and presents all the resulting data at once. Thus, it is difficult to use the previous work for very large relational tables with millions of rows or columns due to the communication and space overhead.
