How to use this office tool

What this tool does

This tool performs a focused formula inventory in local browser memory. It creates a separate downloadable result rather than presenting the original upload as processed.

Processing rule: parse the selected data, apply the formula inventory rule, limit the on-page preview, then serialize a new output file.

Complex Excel features such as VBA, external links, charts, and advanced formatting may not survive browser-based workbook rewriting. Use a copy of important files.

Supported formats

Files are parsed locally. Support is intentionally limited to the formats shown below and advanced workbook features may not be preserved.

InputOutput
XLSX, XLS, CSV, or TSV as applicableXLSX, CSV, HTML, or TXT as described

Tips for better results

  • Keep a backup of the original file.
  • Check headers, identifiers, dates, and leading zeros in the preview.
  • Open the downloaded result and verify a few representative rows before using it downstream.
