User:

Hey, I need to put together a headcount tracking sheet for our Q2 planning meeting next week. We have four departments: Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Operations. Each department should have columns for current headcount, open roles, and the monthly salary budget. Here's the data I have so far: Engineering: 52 employees, 6 open roles, 487,000ドル monthly budget Sales: 31 employees, 4 open roles, 298,000ドル monthly budget Marketing: 18 employees, 2 open roles, 164,000ドル monthly budget Operations: 24 employees, 1 open role, 201,000ドル monthly budget Can you get that into a nice clean spreadsheet? Also add a totals row at the bottom so I can see the company-wide numbers.

Agent creates the workbook and populates all headers, data, and totals in one batch:

User:

Oh wait, I just heard back from the Sales director — they actually have 5 open roles, not 4. Can you fix that? And also, their monthly budget went up to 312,000ドル because we approved two new senior account exec positions.

Agent corrects the Sales row and refreshes the SUM totals in one batch:

officecli set headcount-q2.xlsx '/Sheet1/C3' --prop value=5
officecli set headcount-q2.xlsx '/Sheet1/D3' --prop value=312000
officecli set headcount-q2.xlsx '/Sheet1/C6' --prop formula="=SUM(C2:C5)"
officecli set headcount-q2.xlsx '/Sheet1/D6' --prop formula="=SUM(D2:D5)"

User:

This looks good! One more thing though — can you squeeze in a column between the open roles and the monthly budget? I want to track the target headcount, which is just current employees plus open roles added together. So it should calculate automatically for each row if possible.

Agent inserts a column at index 4 and wires up =B+C formulas for every row:

officecli add headcount-q2.xlsx '/Sheet1' --type col --index 4
officecli set headcount-q2.xlsx '/Sheet1/D1' \
 --prop value="Target Headcount" \

officecli set headcount-q2.xlsx '/Sheet1/D3' \

officecli set headcount-q2.xlsx '/Sheet1/D6' \
 --prop formula="=B6+C6" \
 --prop bold=true \
 --prop fill=D9E1F2 \
 --prop halign=center \
 --prop border.all=thin
officecli set headcount-q2.xlsx '/Sheet1/col[D]' --prop width=18
officecli set headcount-q2.xlsx '/Sheet1/E6' --prop formula="=SUM(E2:E5)"
