officecli-xlsx: Скилл для работы с Excel файлами

--- # officecli: v1.0.23 name: officecli-xlsx description: "Use this skill any time a .xlsx file is involved -- as input, output, or both. This includes: creating spreadsheets, financial models, dashboards, or trackers; reading, parsing, or extracting data from any .xlsx file; editing, modifying, or updating existing workbooks; working with formulas, charts, pivot tables, or templates; importing CSV/TSV data into Excel format. Trigger whenever the user mentions 'spreadsheet', 'workbook', 'Excel', 'financial model', 'tracker', 'dashboard', or references a .xlsx/.csv filename." --- # OfficeCLI XLSX Skill ## BEFORE YOU START (CRITICAL) **Every time before using officecli, run this check:** ```bash if ! command -v officecli &> /dev/null; then echo "Installing officecli..." curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCli/main/install.sh | bash # Windows: irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCli/main/install.ps1 | iex else CURRENT=$(officecli --version 2>&1 | grep -oE '[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+' | head -1) LATEST=$(curl -fsSL https://api.github.com/repos/iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI/releases/latest | grep '"tag_name"' | sed -E 's/.*"v?([0-9.]+)".*/1/') if [ "$CURRENT" != "$LATEST" ]; then echo "Upgrading officecli $CURRENT → $LATEST..." curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iOfficeAI/OfficeCli/main/install.sh | bash else echo "officecli $CURRENT is up to date" fi fi officecli --version ``` --- ## Quick Reference | Task | Action | |------|--------| | Read / analyze content | Use `view` and `get` commands below | | Edit existing workbook | Read [editing.md](editing.md) | | Create from scratch | Read [creating.md](creating.md) | --- ## Reading & Analyzing ### Text Extraction ```bash officecli view data.xlsx text officecli view data.xlsx text --start 1 --end 50 --cols A,B,C ``` Plain text dump, tab-separated per row, with `[/Sheet1/row[N]]` prefixes. Flags: `--mode`, `--start N`, `--end N`, `--max-lines N`, `--cols A,B,C`. ### Structure Overview ```bash officecli view data.xlsx outline ``` Sheets with row/column counts and formula counts per sheet. ### Detailed Inspection ```bash officecli view data.xlsx annotated ``` Cell values with type/formula annotations, warnings for errors and empty cells. ### Statistics ```bash officecli view data.xlsx stats ``` Summary statistics across all sheets. ### Issue Detection ```bash officecli view data.xlsx issues ``` Empty sheets, broken formulas, missing references. ### Element Inspection ```bash # Workbook root (lists all sheets, doc properties) officecli get data.xlsx / # Sheet overview (freeze, autoFilter, zoom, tabColor) officecli get data.xlsx "/Sheet1" # Single cell (value, type, formula, font, fill, borders, numFmt) officecli get data.xlsx "/Sheet1/A1" # Cell range officecli get data.xlsx "/Sheet1/A1:D10" # Row properties officecli get data.xlsx "/Sheet1/row[1]" # Column properties officecli get data.xlsx "/Sheet1/col[A]" # Chart officecli get data.xlsx "/Sheet1/chart[1]" # Table (ListObject) officecli get data.xlsx "/Sheet1/table[1]" # Data validation rule officecli get data.xlsx "/Sheet1/validation[1]" # Conditional formatting rule officecli get data.xlsx "/Sheet1/cf[1]" # Comment officecli get data.xlsx "/Sheet1/comment[1]" # Named range officecli get data.xlsx "/namedrange[1]" ``` Add `--depth N` to expand children, `--json` for structured output. Excel-native notation also supported: `Sheet1!A1`, `Sheet1!A1:D10`. ### CSS-like Queries ```bash # Cells with formulas officecli query data.xlsx 'cell:has(formula)' # Cells containing text officecli query data.xlsx 'cell:contains("Revenue")' # Empty cells officecli query data.xlsx 'cell:empty' # Cells by type officecli query data.xlsx 'cell[type=Number]' # Cells by formatting officecli query data.xlsx 'cell[font.bold=true]' # Column B non-zero officecli query data.xlsx 'B[value!=0]' # Sheet-scoped officecli query data.xlsx 'Sheet1!cell[value="100"]' # Find all charts officecli query data.xlsx 'chart' # Find all tables officecli query data.xlsx 'table' # Find all pivot tables officecli query data.xlsx 'pivottable' ``` Operators: `=`, `!=`, `~=` (contains), `>=`, `<=`, `[attr]` (exists). --- ## Design Principles **Professional spreadsheets need clear structure, correct formulas, and intentional formatting.** ### Use Formulas, Not Hardcoded Values (MANDATORY) This is the single most important principle. The spreadsheet must remain dynamic -- when source data changes, formulas recalculate automatically. Hardcoded values break this contract. ```bash # WRONG -- hardcoded calculation result officecli set data.xlsx "/Sheet1/B10" --prop value=5000 # CORRECT -- let Excel calculate officecli set data.xlsx "/Sheet1/B10" --prop formula="SUM(B2:B9)" ``` ### Financial Model Color Coding | Convention | Color | Use For | |-----------|-------|---------| | Blue text | `font.color=0000FF` | Hardcoded inputs, scenario-variable numbers | | Black text | `font.color=000000` | ALL formulas and calculations | | Green text | `font.color=008000` | Cross-sheet links within same workbook | | Red text | `font.color=FF0000` | External references | | Yellow background | `fill=FFFF00` | Key assumptions needing attention | These are industry-standard financial modeling conventions. Apply when building financial models. For non-financial workbooks, use project-appropriate styling. ### Number Format Strings | Type | Format String | Example Output | Code | |------|--------------|----------------|------| | Currency | `$#,##0` | $1,234 | `--prop numFmt='$#,##0'` | | Currency (neg parens) | `$#,##0;($#,##0);"-"` | ($1,234) | `--prop numFmt='$#,##0;($#,##0);"-"'` | | Percentage | `0.0%` | 12.5% | `--prop numFmt="0.0%"` | | Decimal | `#,##0.00` | 1,234.56 | `--prop numFmt="#,##0.00"` | | Accounting | `_($* #,##0_);_($* (#,##0);_($* "-"_);_(@_)` | $ 1,234 | `--prop numFmt='_($* #,##0_);_($* (#,##0);_($* "-"_);_(@_)'` | | Date | `yyyy-mm-dd` | 2026-03-27 | `--prop numFmt="yyyy-mm-dd"` | | Date (long) | `mmmm d, yyyy` | March 27, 2026 | `--prop numFmt="mmmm d, yyyy"` | | Year as text | `@` | 2026 (not 2,026) | `--prop type=string` | | Multiples | `0.0x` | 12.5x | `--prop numFmt="0.0x"` | | Zeros as dash | `#,##0;-#,##0;"-"` | - | `--prop numFmt='#,##0;-#,##0;"-"'` | **Shell quoting:** Number formats containing `$` must use single quotes (`'$#,##0'`) or heredoc in batch mode. Double quotes cause shell variable expansion. ### Column Width and Row Height ```bash # Set column width (character units, ~1 char = 7px) officecli set data.xlsx "/Sheet1/col[A]" --prop width=15 officecli set data.xlsx "/Sheet1/col[B]" --prop width=12 # Set row height (points) officecli set data.xlsx "/Sheet1/row[1]" --prop height=20 # Hide column/row officecli set data.xlsx "/Sheet1/col[D]" --prop hidden=true officecli set data.xlsx "/Sheet1/row[5]" --prop hidden=true ``` There is no auto-fit. Set column widths explicitly. Common widths: labels=20-25, numbers=12-15, dates=12, short codes=8-10. ### Freeze Panes ```bash # Freeze first row (headers) officecli set data.xlsx "/Sheet1" --prop freeze=A2 # Freeze first column and first row officecli set data.xlsx "/Sheet1" --prop freeze=B2 ``` ### Print Area ```bash # Set print area on a sheet officecli set data.xlsx "/Sheet1" --prop printArea="A1:F20" ``` ### Data Validation for Input Cells ```bash # Dropdown list officecli add data.xlsx /Sheet1 --type validation --prop sqref="C2:C100" --prop type=list --prop formula1="Yes,No,Maybe" --prop showError=true --prop errorTitle="Invalid" --prop error="Select from list" # Number range officecli add data.xlsx /Sheet1 --type validation --prop sqref="D2:D100" --prop type=decimal --prop operator=between --prop formula1=0 --prop formula2=100 --prop showError=true --prop error="Enter 0-100" ``` Always add data validation on input cells in financial models and trackers. It prevents data entry errors. ### Print Area and Page Setup For print-ready workbooks, set appropriate column widths and row heights. Consider which sheets need headers repeated on each page. --- ## QA (Required) **Assume there are problems. Your job is to find them.** Your first spreadsheet build is almost never correct. Approach QA as a bug hunt, not a confirmation step. If you found zero issues on first inspection, you were not looking hard enough. ### Content QA ```bash # Extract text, check for missing data officecli view data.xlsx text # Check structure officecli view data.xlsx outline # Check for issues (broken formulas, missing refs, empty sheets) officecli view data.xlsx issues # Verify formulas exist where expected officecli query data.xlsx 'cell:has(formula)' # Check for formula errors in cell values officecli query data.xlsx 'cell:contains("#REF!")' officecli query data.xlsx 'cell:contains("#DIV/0!")' officecli query data.xlsx 'cell:contains("#VALUE!")' officecli query data.xlsx 'cell:contains("#NAME?")' officecli query data.xlsx 'cell:contains("#N/A")' ``` When editing templates, check for leftover placeholders: ```bash officecli query data.xlsx 'cell:contains("{{")' officecli query data.xlsx 'cell:contains("xxxx")' officecli query data.xlsx 'cell:contains("placeholder")' ``` ### Formula Verification Checklist - [ ] Test 2-3 sample cell references: verify they pull correct values - [ ] Column mapping: confirm cell references point to intended columns - [ ] Row offsets: check formula ranges include all data rows - [ ] Division by zero: verify denominators are non-zero or wrapped in IFERROR - [ ] Cross-sheet references: use correct `Sheet1!A1` format - [ ] Cross-sheet formula escaping: run `officecli get` on 2-3 cross-sheet formula cells and confirm no `!` in the formula string. If `!` is present, the formula is broken -- delete and re-set using batch/heredoc. - [ ] Named ranges: verify `ref` values match actual data locations - [ ] Edge cases: test with zero values, negative numbers, empty cells - [ ] **Chart data vs formula results**: for every chart with hardcoded/inline data, verify each data point matches the corresponding formula cell result. Use `officecli get` on the source cells and compare against chart series values. Mismatches here are silent data integrity bugs. ### Validation ```bash officecli validate data.xlsx ``` ### Pre-Delivery Checklist - [ ] Metadata set (title, author) - [ ] All formula cells contain formulas (not hardcoded values) - [ ] No formula error values (#REF!, #DIV/0!, #VALUE!, #NAME?, #N/A) - [ ] Number formats applied (currency, percentage, dates) - [ ] Column widths set explicitly (no default 8.43) - [ ] Header row styled (bold, fill, freeze panes) - [ ] Data validation on input cells - [ ] Charts have titles and readable axis labels - [ ] **Chart data matches source cells** -- charts with hardcoded/inline data can drift from formula results. For each chart, verify every data point against the corresponding cell value. Prefer cell-range references (`series1.values="Sheet1!B2:B6"`) over inline data to avoid transcription errors. - [ ] Named ranges defined for key assumptions - [ ] Document validates with `officecli validate` - [ ] No placeholder text remaining - [ ] Comments on hardcoded assumption values documenting their source **NOTE**: Unlike pptx (SVG/HTML), xlsx has no visual preview mode. Verification relies on `view text`, `view annotated`, `view stats`, `view issues`, `validate`, and formula queries. For visual verification, the user must open the file in Excel. ### Verification Loop 1. Generate workbook 2. Run `view issues` + `view annotated` (sample ranges) + `validate` 3. Run formula error queries (all 5 error types) 4. List issues found (if none found, look again more critically) 5. Fix issues 6. Re-verify affected areas -- one fix often creates another problem 7. Repeat until a full pass reveals no new issues **Do not declare success until you have completed at least one fix-and-verify cycle.** --- ## Common Pitfalls | Pitfall | Correct Approach | |---------|-----------------| | `--name "foo"` | Use `--prop name="foo"` -- all attributes go through `--prop` | | Guessing property names | Run `officecli xlsx set cell` to see exact names | | `n` in shell strings | Use `\n` for newlines in `--prop text="line1\nline2"` | | Modifying an open file | Close the file in Excel first | | Hex colors with `#` | Use `FF0000` not `#FF0000` -- no hash prefix | | Paths are 1-based | `"/Sheet1/row[1]"`, `"/Sheet1/col[1]"` -- XPath convention | | `--index` is 0-based | `--index 0` = first position -- array convention | | Unquoted `[N]` in zsh/bash | Shell glob-expands `/Sheet1/row[1]` -- always quote paths: `"/Sheet1/row[1]"` | | Sheet names with spaces | Quote the full path: `"/My Sheet/A1"` | | Formula prefix `=` | OfficeCLI strips the `=` -- use `formula="SUM(A1:A10)"` not `formula="=SUM(A1:A10)"` | | Cross-sheet `!` in formulas | **CRITICAL:** The `!` in `Sheet1!A1` can be corrupted by shell quoting. Use batch/heredoc for cross-sheet formulas, or double quotes: `--prop "formula==Sheet1!A1"`. NEVER use single quotes for formulas containing `!`. After setting, verify with `officecli get` that the formula shows `Sheet1!A1` (no backslash before `!`). | | Hardcoded calculated values | Use `--prop formula="SUM(B2:B9)"` not `--prop value=5000` | | `$` and `'` in batch JSON | Use heredoc: `cat <<'EOF' | officecli batch` -- single-quoted delimiter prevents shell expansion | | Number format with `$` | Shell interprets `$` -- use single quotes: `numFmt='$#,##0'` | | Year displayed as "2,026" | Set cell type to string: `--prop type=string` or use `numFmt="@"` | --- ## Performance: Resident Mode ```bash officecli open data.xlsx # Keep in memory officecli add data.xlsx ... officecli set data.xlsx ... officecli close data.xlsx # Save and release ``` For multi-step workflows (3+ commands on the same file), use open/close. ## Performance: Batch Mode ```bash cat <<'EOF' | officecli batch data.xlsx [ {"command":"set","path":"/Sheet1/A1","props":{"value":"Revenue","bold":"true","fill":"1F4E79","font.color":"FFFFFF"}}, {"command":"set","path":"/Sheet1/B1","props":{"value":"Q1","bold":"true","fill":"1F4E79","font.color":"FFFFFF"}} ] EOF ``` Batch supports: `add`, `set`, `get`, `query`, `remove`, `move`, `view`, `raw`, `raw-set`, `validate`. Batch fields: `command`, `path`, `parent`, `type`, `from`, `to`, `index`, `props` (dict), `selector`, `mode`, `depth`, `part`, `xpath`, `action`, `xml`. `parent` = container to add into (for `add`). `path` = element to modify (for `set`, `get`, `remove`). Batch mode is the default for multi-cell operations. A financial model with 50+ cells MUST use batch, not individual commands. --- ## Known Issues | Issue | Workaround | |---|---| | **Chart series cannot be added after creation** | `set --prop data=` and `set --prop seriesN=` on an existing chart can only update existing series. To add series, delete and recreate: `officecli remove data.xlsx "/Sheet1/chart[1]"` then `officecli add` with all series. | | **No visual preview** | Unlike pptx (SVG/HTML), xlsx has no built-in rendering. Use `view text`/`view annotated`/`view stats`/`view issues` for verification. Users must open in Excel for visual check. | | **Formula cached values for new formulas** | OfficeCLI writes formula strings natively. For newly added formulas, the cached value may not update until the file is opened in Excel/LibreOffice. Existing formula cached values are preserved. | | **No auto-fit column width** | No "auto-fit" column width based on content. Set `width` explicitly on each column. | | **Shell quoting in batch with echo** | `echo '...' | officecli batch` fails when JSON values contain apostrophes or `$`. Use heredoc: `cat <<'EOF' | officecli batch data.xlsx`. | | **Batch intermittent failure** | Batch+resident mode has a high failure rate (up to 1-in-3 in some sessions). For maximum reliability: (1) prefer batch WITHOUT resident mode, (2) keep batches to 8-12 operations, (3) always check batch output for failures, (4) retry failed operations individually. For critical formulas (especially cross-sheet), consider using individual `set` commands which have 100% reliability. | | **Data bar default min/max invalid** | Creating a data bar without `--prop min=N --prop max=N` produces empty `val` attributes in cfvo elements, which may be rejected by strict XML validators or Excel. Always specify explicit min and max values. | | **Cell protection requires sheet protection** | `locked` and `formulahidden` properties only take effect when the sheet itself is protected. | --- ## Help System **When unsure about property names, value formats, or command syntax, run help instead of guessing.** One help query is faster than guess-fail-retry loops. ```bash officecli xlsx set # All settable elements and their properties officecli xlsx set cell # Cell properties in detail officecli xlsx set cell.font # Specific property format and examples officecli xlsx add # All addable element types officecli xlsx view # All view modes officecli xlsx get # All navigable paths officecli xlsx query # Query selector syntax ```
