摘要
We present a reasoning system for inferring dimension information in spreadsheets. This system can be use to check the consistency of spreadsheet formulas and can be employed to detect errors in spreadsheets. We have prototypically implemented the system as an add-in to Excel. In an evaluation of this implementation we were able to detect dimension errors in almost 50% of the investigated spreadsheets, which shows (i) that the system works reliably in practice and (d) that dimension information can be well exploited to uncover errors in spreadsheets.
