FAQPage Schema
How do I audit an Excel workbook for formula and formatting inconsistencies without changing the data?

To audit an Excel workbook non-destructively, you can use a verification process that inventories formulas, computed values, and formatting rules to report errors and suggest fixes without applying them. It reads existing data and flags deviations.

Can I check an Excel spreadsheet for broken formula references across multiple sheets?

Yes, cross-sheet formula inventory can catalog formulas and identify broken references across multiple sheets in an Excel workbook. The verification process checks computed results against independent calculations to flag discrepancies.

What is the best way to identify data validation and formatting issues in an Excel file?

The best way to identify formatting issues is an audit that checks number, date, and percentage formats while detecting merged cells and data quality issues. This inventory process reports deviations and suggests non-destructive fixes.

How do I generate a verification report for Excel workbook errors?

You can generate a consolidated verification report by submitting the Excel workbook for an automated audit. The process inventories formulas and formatting, then outputs a report detailing detected issues and suggested non-destructive fixes.

Are the fixes applied automatically when errors are detected during a spreadsheet audit?

No, the spreadsheet audit is non-destructive. It proposes fixes for detected formula and formatting issues but does not apply them unless explicitly confirmed by the user, ensuring the original workbook remains unchanged during verification.
