Ambsheets: Exploring Spreadsheet Uncertainty
Imagine a spreadsheet where a single cell can hold multiple values simultaneously. That's the core idea behind Ambsheets, a project extending traditional spreadsheets to handle 'amb values'—values representing multiple possibilities. This allows users to easily explore various scenarios, like budgeting for different car and apartment prices, without tedious restructuring. Unlike Excel's What-If Analysis, Ambsheets offers a cleaner interface and powerful automatic combination capabilities, efficiently managing multi-dimensional possibility spaces. Researchers are currently exploring Ambsheets' applications in filtering, visualization, and continuous distributions, aiming to develop it into a more powerful scenario exploration tool.
