Can I use this to analyze existing data?

Absolutely. It integrates pandas for high-performance data reading, filtering, and statistical analysis before exporting the results back into formatted Excel workbooks.

Does it support professional financial formatting?

Yes, it follows industry standards such as blue text for hardcoded inputs, black for formulas, and specific formatting for currencies, multiples, and growth percentages.

Why does it prefer formulas over hardcoded values?

Generating Excel formulas ensures the spreadsheet remains dynamic. If a user changes an input value later, the entire model updates automatically without needing to re-run the AI.

How does this skill ensure formula accuracy?

The skill uses a dedicated recalculation script that leverages LibreOffice to evaluate formulas and scan for errors like #REF!, #DIV/0!, or #VALUE!, providing a JSON summary of any issues found.
