<Expression Address Display Processing> Using FIG. 15,
The operation according to the present invention will be described.

Consider a table as shown in FIG.
In (a), the input text and the calculated value calculated by the formula are displayed in the cell as they are. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a display state menu. At this time, the display state menu is designated as normal display. Here, "display formula address" in the display state menu of FIG. 16 is designated. Then, the display normally displayed in (a) of FIG. 15 is switched to “expression address display” as shown in (b) of FIG.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the expression address display processing of this embodiment. In FIG. 17, step S
If the expression address display mode is ON in step 1, step S
2. If not, go to step S3 to perform normal display processing. In step S2, for all cells, the spreadsheet address of each cell is displayed in the cell. When the display process ends in step S2 or step S3, the process ends.

In the above embodiment, the menu is used to switch between "expression address display" and "friendship display".
It is also possible to input from the panel. In addition, a key with four keys on the keyboard (for example, Shift
Key, Control key, Alternate key,
Alternatively, the “expression address display” may be performed only while pressing the combination) or only while the button of the PD 5 is being pressed.

FIG. 18 shows a flow chart in the case where the formula address is displayed only while the key or the button of the PD 5 is pressed. (A) shows the processing when the key is pressed. In step S4, the formula address is displayed in all cells, and in step S5, the flag in the formula address display is set and the process ends. (B) shows the processing when the key is released. In step S6, it is checked whether or not the flag for displaying the formula address is set. If the flag is set, in step S7, the display of all cells is changed to the normal display, and the process ends. If not, the process ends.

In the above embodiment, the "spreadsheet address" of the cell itself is displayed in the cell, but the "spreadsheet expression" entered in each cell is displayed in the same manner. You can also

However, unlike the "formula address", in the case of the "spreadsheet formula", only the cells in which the formula is input are displayed. Similarly, the "group number" of the table group can be displayed in each group cell. FIG. 19 is an example of a spreadsheet expression display, (a) is a normal display,
(B) is a spreadsheet expression display. FIG. 20 shows an example of group number display, where (a) is a normal display and (b) is a group number display. In the example shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, nothing is displayed (blank) for cells for which no spreadsheet expression has been input or for cells that are not grouped, but normal display may be allowed.

Further, in this embodiment, "expression address display"
If you specify (same for spreadsheet display and group number display), display is performed for all cells, but this can be done only for the selected cell.

The present invention is not limited to a single device, and may be realized by a system composed of a plurality of devices or by supplying a program to the device or system.
