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"
Tip
Separating inputs from calculations makes your spreadsheet easier to update and reduces the risk of accidentally breaking formulas.

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"
