Abstract
In some embodiments, a computer-implemented spreadsheet management method is provided that automatically copies formatting and formulas from appropriate peer rows to an updated row. In some embodiments, the method automatically determines which peer rows, if any, should be used as the source of copied formatting and formulas. In some embodiments, the method automatically fixes formulas that are affected by the updated row in order to maintain consistency throughout the spreadsheet.
