Abstract
Systems and methods for charting audio files and/or attributes of audio files associated with a spreadsheet are provided. For instance, when an audio file is associated with a spreadsheet, the audio file may be treated as a new type of data within the spreadsheet. In some aspects, a plurality of audio files may be associated with a spreadsheet, e.g., within a single cell or within a range of cells. In some aspects, the audio files themselves, as well as audio data (e.g., modulated data representing soundwaves, etc.), audio attributes (e.g., frequency, amplitude, sampling rate, codec, bitrate, volume, pitch, speed, channel, audio effects, author/artist, creation date and/or time, file name, file size, duration, etc.), and/or spreadsheet data (e.g., values in cells, user comments, etc.) may be incorporated into a report (e.g., a chart) using a spreadsheet charting function, either automatically or by user selection.
