Visualizing Spreadsheet Formula Graphs Compactly

Summary: TACO-Lens, an Excel plugin, visualizes spreadsheet formula dependency graphs via TACO, a compression framework that exploits tabular locality to merge structurally similar nearby cells. Provides compact views and much faster precedent/dependent tracing than uncompressed/Excel tools. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
