What problem does it solve? Working with Excel files programmatically often leads to broken formulas, hardcoded values that can't update, and formatting that violates financial modeling conventions. This Skill ensures spreadsheets are built with live Excel formulas, industry-standard color coding, and zero formula errors through automated recalculation and verification. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Formula-Driven Spreadsheet Creation: Build .xlsx files using openpyxl with real Excel formulas (SUM, AVERAGE, growth rates) instead of hardcoded Python-calculated values, keeping models dynamic and updateable. - Financial Modeling Standards: Apply industry color conventions (blue inputs, black formulas, green cross-sheet links, red external links) and number formatting rules (parenthesized negatives, 0.0% percentages, dash zeros). - Automated Formula Recalculation & Error Detection: Run the recalc.py script with LibreOffice to recalculate all formulas and scan every cell for errors like #REF!, #DIV/0!, and #VALUE!, returning JSON with exact error locations. - Use Case: Build a three-statement financial model from company 10-K data with documented assumptions, then recalculate and verify zero formula errors before delivery. ## Quick Start Create an Excel financial model from this revenue data with formulas for growth rates and totals, then recalculate it to verify there are no formula errors.
