In one embodiment, a complex query includes components that are arranged in a hierarchical structure including a first type of filter and a second type of filter and are connected by connectors. The method selects a first data set and selects a second data set for the components. The second data set being generated by processing data in the first data set for the second type of filter and the second data set includes entries describing a result of the processing. The first type of filter is applied to the first data set and the second type of filter to the second data set for the components where the information describing the result is used by the second type of filter to filter entries and first type of filter filters entries based on column values in the first data set. The method combines outputs of the components using the connectors.

Complex filter query of multiple data sets

The disclosure generally describes methods, software, and systems, including a method for managing modifications to a document by collaborators. A digital document is identified for collaboration by a first user having ownership privileges for the document. The collaboration is associated with at least one collaborator. A duplicate version of the identified document is provided to each of the identified collaborators. The duplicate versions are monitored for modifications performed by corresponding collaborators. A list of modifications is created that identifies the modifications performed by the corresponding collaborators in the duplicate versions associated with those collaborators. A selection from the list of modifications is received from the first user of at least one modification for incorporation into the identified document. Based on the received selection, the selected at least one modification is merged into the identified document.

Controlling a collaborative data preparation process

A computer-implemented method for generating an updated action history for display in a graphical user interface. The method may include identifying a last matching action between two action histories, disabling a subset of actions in an action history, inserting, subsequent to the last matching action in an updated action history, an action corresponding to user-triggered input, enabling a subset of actions in the updated action history that are listed in the action history after the last matching action and displaying the updated action history in the graphical user interface, the updated action history including one or more indications for each of the actions associated with inserting the action corresponding to the user-triggered input.

Systems and methods for tracking and modifying actions in an action history

The present disclosure includes techniques pertaining to computer implemented systems and methods for automatic generation of data transformations. In one embodiment, a user manipulates a spreadsheet of data in a user interface. On a backend, the user's manipulations trigger actions that cause the data to be modified. Actions may automatically cause data flow objects and data flow graphs to be produced. The transformations defined by the data flow graphs are automatically executed by a software engine and the results are displayed to the user. The user may access and manipulate data from a variety of data sources while the underlying complexities of the transformation process are performed in an automated manner.
