Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer-executable instructions for supporting custom functions within an application. An application add-in is received that includes a custom function and a custom function location. The application is available across multiple platforms. The custom function is also available across multiple platforms. The custom function is registered within the application using the custom function location. A request to invoke the custom function is received within the application A custom function implementation is downloaded from the custom function location. The custom function implementation is executed. A return value is received from the custom function implementation. The return value may be displayed within the application.

G06F 17/30

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and software for data calculation frameworks for user applications are provided herein. An exemplary method includes registering dynamic functions for use by a calculation engine of the user application, coupling calls made by the calculation engine for the dynamic functions to services that host the dynamic functions, and monitoring availability status for the dynamic functions related to availability of the dynamic functions to process expressions associated with the calculation engine. Based on the availability status indicating a first dynamic function is presently unavailable, the method includes responding to a function call issued by the calculation engine for the first dynamic function with at least a predetermined result, and based on the availability status indicating the first dynamic function is presently available, responding to the function call issued by the calculation engine for the first dynamic function by routing the function call for handling by the first dynamic function.

G06F 17/11

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and software for data calculation frameworks for user applications are provided herein. An exemplary method includes providing functions for use by a calculation engine of the user application, determining that the calculation engine issues a call for evaluation of a nested expression comprising at least a child function embedded in a parent function, and responsively dispatching at least a first evaluation process for a first portion of the nested expression that employs the child function. During evaluation of the nested expression, the method includes indicating to the calculation engine a predetermined result for at least the parent function, and dispatching at least a second evaluation process for a second portion of the nested expression that employs the child result. Responsive to receiving a parent result from the second evaluation process, the method includes indicating the parent result to the calculation engine.
