SYSTEM AND METHOD IN A DATA TABLE FOR MANAGING INSERTION OPERATIONS IN RECURSIVE SCALABLE TEMPLATE INSTANCES

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method, system and program, in a multi-dimensional 5 electronic data table, preferably a spreadsheet, comprising a plurality of data, for managing insertion operations in a recursive scalable template instance; a recursive scalable template instance comprising a variable number of contiguous recursive element instances ordered and aligned along a first data table dimension and structured according to a recursive scalable template; said recursive scalable template comprising a recursive element including one or a plurality of scalable templates; each recursive element instance having a variable size along said first data table dimension and a same size along a second data table dimension; a recursive element instance comprising one or a plurality of scalable template instances; each scalable template instance of each recursive element instance being aligned along said first data table dimension; each scalable template instance within each recursive element instance being aligned along a second data table dimension; a scalable template instance comprising a variable number of elements structured according to a scalable template; an element being defined as a range of data; a range of data comprising one or a plurality of data.
