What problem does it solve?
This Skill solves the challenges of working with spreadsheet files as primary inputs or outputs, where manual formatting, formula errors, and inconsistent standards often lead to unreliable models and time-consuming fixes. It ensures deliverables meet professional standards for fonts, color coding, number formatting, and formula integrity.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Spreadsheet Creation & Editing: Build new .xlsx/.xlsm/.csv/.tsv files or modify existing ones using pandas and openpyxl, with full support for formulas, formatting, and multi-sheet workbooks.
- Financial Modeling Standards: Enforce industry-standard color conventions (blue for inputs, black for formulas, green for internal links, red for external links, yellow for key assumptions) and precise number formatting for currency, percentages, and multiples.
- Data Cleaning & Transformation: Restructure messy tabular data with malformed rows, misplaced headers, or junk data into clean, properly formatted spreadsheets.
- Formula Integrity & Recalculation: Automatically recalculate all formulas using LibreOffice, scan for errors (#REF!, #DIV/0!, #VALUE!, #N/A, #NAME?), and provide detailed error reporting with locations.
Quick Start
Use the xlsx skill to create a new financial model from the sales data in 'sales_data.csv' with proper formatting and formulas, then recalculate and verify there are no errors.
