Workbooks & Sheets
Viete can generate complex Excel workbooks with multiple linked sheets, data relationships, and cross-references. Learn how to structure multi-sheet workbooks effectively.
Multi-Sheet Workbooks
For complex projects, organizing your data across multiple sheets improves clarity and maintainability. Viete can create workbooks with:
- Data input sheets separate from calculation sheets
- Summary dashboards that pull from detail sheets
- Lookup tables and reference data on dedicated sheets
- Monthly or weekly breakdowns with consolidated summaries
- Documentation sheets with instructions and notes
Sheet Organization
When describing multi-sheet workbooks, specify the purpose of each sheet:
"Create a financial model with the following sheets:
- - Assumptions: input cells for growth rates, costs, etc.
- - Revenue: monthly revenue projections
- - Expenses: cost breakdown by category
- - P&L: profit and loss statement pulling from other sheets
- - Dashboard: key metrics and charts"
Cross-Sheet References
Viete automatically creates proper cross-sheet references when you describe relationships between sheets:
Example References
=Revenue!B10
=SUM(Expenses!B2:B50)
=VLOOKUP(A2,Lookup!A:B,2,FALSE)
Data Tables
For structured data, Viete can create Excel tables with:
- Automatic header rows with filter buttons
- Structured references in formulas
- Automatic expansion as you add data
- Consistent formatting throughout the table
- Built-in totals row with summary functions
Named Ranges
Named ranges make formulas more readable and maintainable. You can request named ranges in your description:
"Create a named range called 'TaxRate' for the tax percentage input cell, so formulas can reference it as =Revenue*TaxRate"
