1. A method, comprising:
- obtaining a first query value from a table having a plurality of cells and a second query value from the plurality of cells, wherein the first query value is relevant to each of the plurality of cells and the second query value is relevant to a respective one of the plurality of cells;
executing a search function using the first and second query values to identify a first document that includes a first data set that is potentially relevant to the first and second query values and a second document that includes a second data set that is potentially relevant to the first and second query values, wherein the second data set is different than the first data set;
determining a relevancy score for the first data set and determining a relevancy score for the second data set;
outputting, for display, an interface area that includes information that identifies the first data set and information that identifies the second data set, wherein the information that identifies the first data set and the information that identifies the second data set are displayed according to the relevancy score of the first data set and the relevancy score of the second data set;
receiving a selection input that identifies one of the first data set or the second data set as a selected data set; and
populating a first cell from the plurality of cells with a first data value from the selected data set.

Abstract
A method includes obtaining at least one query value from a table having a plurality of cells; executing a search function using the at least one query value to identify at least a first data set that is potentially relevant to the at least one query value; and outputting, for display, a first interface area that includes information from the first data set. In response to selection of the first interface area, the method includes populating a first cell from the plurality of cells with a first data value from the first data set.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device including program instructions executable by one or more processors that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
obtaining a first query value from a table having a plurality of cells and a second query value from the plurality of cells, wherein the first query value is relevant to each of the plurality of cells and the second query value is relevant to a respective one of the plurality of cells; executing a search function using the first and second query values to identify a first document that includes a first data set that is potentially relevant to the first and second query values and a second document that includes a second data set that is potentially relevant to the first and second query values, wherein the second data set is different than the first data set; determining a relevancy score for the first data set and determining a relevancy score for the second data set; outputting, for display, an interface area that includes information that identifies the first data set and information that identifies the second data set, wherein the information that identifies the first data set and the information that identifies the second data set are displayed according to the relevancy score of the first data set and the relevancy score of the second data set; receiving a selection input that identifies one of the first data set or the second data set as a selected data set; and populating a first cell from the plurality of cells with a first data value from the selected data set. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

16. An apparatus, comprising:
-
one or more processors; and one or more memory devices for storing program instructions used by the one or more processors, wherein the program instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to; obtain a first query value from a table having a plurality of cells and a second query value from the plurality of cells, wherein the first query value is relevant to each of the plurality of cells and the second query value is relevant to a respective one of the plurality of cells; execute a search function using the first and second query values to identify a first document that includes a first data set that is potentially relevant to the first and second query values and a second document that includes a second data set that is potentially relevant to the first and second query values, wherein the second data set is different than the first data set; determine a relevancy score for the first data set and determine a relevancy score for the second data set; output, for display, an interface area that includes information that identifies first data set and information that identifies the second data set, wherein the information that identifies the first data set and the information that identifies the second data set are displayed according to the relevancy score of the first data set and the relevancy score of the second data set; receive a selection input that identifies one of the first data set or the second data set as a selected data set; and populate a first cell from the plurality of cells with a first data value from the selected data set. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
