Abstract:
Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein that allow multiple values to be stored and referenced individually in a spreadsheet or table cell. In an implementation, an application identifies a format of a cell in a spreadsheet with a format having multiple data points. The application receives multiple values corresponding to the multiple data points and stores each value of the multiple values in the cell as a separately referenceable value with respect to each other value of the multiple values. In some implementations, formulas in other cells or sub-routines can reference an individual one of the values in the cell.
