ABSTRACT:
A step or means for associating a file with a cell in a table format by, for example, pasting an icon representing the file, wherein related data to be simultaneously referenced along with the data in the cell with which the file is associated is read according to a data entry positioning rule of a table format. Further, the step/means indicates merging file common condition data with record data in the file by adding the read related data to its each constituent record as the common condition value of the data file with which the corresponding cell is associated, and includes naming a file by converting a character string representing the read related data into a character string according to a prescribed rule and positioning it in a predetermined position in a template character string.
