Technologies are described herein for generating field sets of a data summary table. Multiple fields in a spreadsheet document are identified. Multiple field scores for each field of the plurality of fields are determined. A field set incorporating two or more of the plurality of fields is generated based on the plurality of field scores. The field set is inserted into the data summary table, thereby transforming the data summary table without the field set to the data summary table with the field set.

Automated suggested summarizations of data

To sort data items in a spreadsheet table, data items in the spreadsheet table are divided into a plurality of blocks. Multiple threads are used to sort the data items in the blocks. After the data items in the blocks are sorted, multiple merge threads are used to generate a final result block. The final result block contains each of the data items in the spreadsheet table. Each of the merge threads is a thread that merges two source blocks to generate a result block. Each of the source blocks is either one of the sorted blocks or one of the result blocks generated by another one of the merge threads. A sorted version of the spreadsheet table is then displayed. The data items in the sorted version of the spreadsheet table are ordered according to an order of the data items in the final result block.
