Method for indicating the temporal and spatial deferment of the generation, manipulation, and arrangement of cells in an electronic spreadsheet

Spreadsheets are collections of cells. Special directives may be attached to cells in order to instruct a computing process on how to generate, manipulate, and arrange spreadsheet cells. These directives can be associated with, attached to, or embedded within spreadsheets or spreadsheets cells. Directives are applied according to a directive convention. Application of these directive will allow new spreadsheets to be created at another time and on another computing platform.
