A spreadsheet-file workflow for formulas, formatting, data cleanup and checking recalculated workbook results.

Editorial review checked 2026-10-29 against this instruction snapshot. Supporting scripts and runtime behavior remain outside this editorial review.

What it does

This skill distinguishes spreadsheet editing from bulk tabular data handling and from reading calculated values. It highlights an important file-format boundary: writing a formula does not necessarily calculate and cache its result. The source therefore includes a recalculation step and guidance for inspecting both formulas and values.

Best for

Cleaning an exported table, adding calculated columns, repairing a workbook or preparing a formatted spreadsheet as the final deliverable. Provide a small example of the correct calculation and identify which sheets, charts and source values must be preserved.

Tradeoffs and requirements

A workbook may open without errors while referring to the wrong row or using an incomplete range. Recalculation through another office engine can behave differently from the recipient's Excel environment. Macro-enabled inputs and unfamiliar external links need separate inspection; this catalog has not executed those features.

Install from the source

Inspect the pinned source snapshot and its supporting files first. The command selects this skill through the open-source skills CLI. Node.js and agent-specific setup may be required. Installation can download code. Catalog ingestion never executes skill instructions or install scripts.

Suggested workflow

Inspect the sheet structure, implement a few representative formulas, verify their references, then apply the transformation and recalculate. Keep original data available so the result can be checked independently.

How to judge the result

Compare sample totals with an independent calculation, inspect formula-error cells and verify number formats, charts and print layout. Review the skill's specific license terms and tool requirements before installation.
