Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for enhanced pivot table creation and interaction. In an implementation, a view including a formula bar is rendered in a user interface to a spreadsheet application. In response to receiving a user initialization input, the view is rendered to hide the formula bar and display a configuration bar configured to receive at least one pivot table parameter. A pivot table is generated based on the at least one pivot table parameter. The view is rendered to display the formula bar after generation of the pivot table.

Enhanced pivot table creation and interaction

Cross-tabular reports may be automatically created by a computer from received source data. After receiving the source data, the computer may determine different information types associated with fields contained in the source data. The computer may then score each field based on the information types. A score describes a suitable placement of each field as a cross-tabular report row, a cross-tabular report column or a cross-tabular report value field. The computer may then select the fields having the highest score for placement as cross-tabular report rows, cross-tabular report columns or cross-tabular report value fields in a cross-tabular report. Finally, the computer may build the cross-tabular report with the selected fields.

Creating cross-tabular reports

A method for processing keystrokes is described herein. A first keystroke representing a symbol for a first operating system may be received on a first computer. The first keystroke may be translated to a second keystroke representing the symbol for a second operating system on a second computer. The second operating system is different from the first operating system. The second keystroke may be sent to the second computer.
