Two Ways to Use Uploaded Files

1. Work Directly with Excel Files

Upload .xlsx files and continue working on them directly in Viete. The existing workbook becomes your starting point—preserve what works, modify what needs changing.

Example: Upload your Q3 financial model, ask Viete to add a new expense category and update all related formulas. Your existing structure and data remain intact.

2. Use as Context for New Generation

Upload any file type to provide context for generating new Excel models. Viete extracts relevant information and uses it to inform the new model's structure and content.

Example: Upload a client proposal PDF and ask Viete to "Create a budget spreadsheet based on the projects and costs mentioned in this proposal." Viete extracts the data and builds the Excel model.

What You Can Do

After uploading a file, you can ask Viete to:

Analyze

Get insights about your data, identify patterns, and understand the structure of your spreadsheet.

Modify

Add new columns, create calculations, or restructure your data based on your requirements.

Enhance

Add charts, formatting, pivot tables, or dashboards to your existing spreadsheet.

Transform

Clean data, merge sheets, split columns, or convert formats as needed.

Example Use Cases

Continuing Work on Existing Models

"Upload my Q2 budget.xlsx and add a new 'Marketing' category with subcategories for digital ads, events, and content. Update all summary formulas."

Document to Spreadsheet Conversion

"Extract the project timeline from this uploaded project-plan.docx and create a Gantt chart with tasks, dates, and dependencies."

PDF Data Extraction

"Upload monthly-invoice.pdf and extract all line items into an Excel table with columns for date, description, quantity, price, and total."

Image OCR Processing

"Upload receipt-photo.png and create an expense tracker with the extracted merchant, date, amount, and category information."

Data Cleaning and Enhancement

"Clean uploaded sales-data.csv: remove duplicates, standardize date formats, add charts, and create a summary dashboard."

Context-Based Generation

"Use this uploaded strategic-plan.pdf as context to create a 5-year financial projection model with the goals and metrics mentioned in the document."

Tip
When uploading files, briefly describe what the data contains and your goal to help Viete understand the context better and produce more accurate results.

File Size Limits

For optimal performance, keep uploaded files within these limits:

  • Maximum file size: 25 MB
  • Maximum rows: 100,000 per sheet
  • Maximum sheets: 50 per workbook
Note
Large files may take longer to process. For very large datasets, consider uploading a sample first to verify the desired transformations.
