Prepare your request​

Specify sheet names, headers, units, and date formats. Distinguish source data from information to fill in, and explain how missing values should be handled.

If your organization has brand guidelines configured for this MCP, mention them in your request. Otherwise, specify the desired colors and formatting. In the example below, replace Claranet with your company name; mentioning it does not itself configure brand guidelines.

View sheets

Gather your data into a workbook organized into multiple sheets, with tables that are easy to browse and filter.

Example: track a project portfolio​

Use Claranet's brand guidelines (replace Claranet with your company name).

Use MCP XLS to create an Excel workbook titled
“Project portfolio — September 2026” with this fictional data.

Project; Owner; Planned budget (€); Spending (€); Progress (%)
Horizon; Camille; 48000; 31200; 65
Atlas; Samir; 32000; 12800; 40
Nova; Léa; 25000; 20000; 80
Orion; Hugo; 60000; 18000; 30
Pulse; Inès; 18000; 16200; 90

Create three sheets:
1. “Summary”: the table above, with all five columns.
2. “Milestones”: a table with Project, Next milestone, Date, Status,
   and the following rows (dates are day/month/year):
   Horizon; Training; 12/10/2026; To prepare
   Atlas; Scoping approval; 05/10/2026; In progress
   Nova; Delivery; 02/10/2026; To approve
   Orion; End of pilot; 23/10/2026; In progress
   Pulse; Review; 30/09/2026; Scheduled
3. “Source data”: a copy of the initial data,
   identified as a demo dataset.

Use contrasting headers in the brand colors
and column widths suited to the content.
In Summary, freeze the header row and enable automatic filters.
Display euro amounts and progress percentages clearly,
for example 65% for Horizon, without changing their values.
Use only the supplied data, without adding calculations or formulas.
Give me the link to the .xlsx file.

More ideas to try​

  • Supplier comparison: “Use Claranet's brand guidelines (replace Claranet with your company name). Organize these offers into a workbook with Summary, Services, and Pricing sheets.”
  • Training tracking: “Use Claranet's brand guidelines (replace Claranet with your company name). Create a workbook from this participant list, with one sheet per session and filters on the headers.”
  • Inventory: “Use Claranet's brand guidelines (replace Claranet with your company name). Turn this equipment list into an Excel table with Equipment, Team, Location, and Status columns.”

Check and refine the result​

Open the workbook and check sheet names, data, dates, amounts, and percentages. Test the filters and make sure the columns remain readable. The example names and figures are fictional.

To request a change, continue in the same conversation and specify the file, sheet, and columns concerned. For example: “In the Milestones sheet, widen the Next milestone column and display dates in day/month/year format.”
