You can use a query language that can zero-in on any of the intersections of areas marked by the labels and run aggregates, filters and other functions over it.20 Aug 2026 09:53 +0000at://did:plc:t26o7f2ls4ynvcrssd4fvg2m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtixzr3j7s2chttps://bsky.app/profile/pranavpramod.bsky.social/post/3mqm43bhuys2oBringing tables in as primitives opens up relational operations to be part of spreadsheets. Here is an example of how joins could work. As the user hover over different join operations, the results are previewed live for immediate feedback.

Upon dropping the cells, the user is offered a list of commonly used functions based on the data types the cells hold.
