# Excel Block

> Generate production-quality .xlsx spreadsheets with formulas, charts, and multiple sheets

## Overview

The Excel Block generates production-quality .xlsx spreadsheets. This is different from the Table block, which produces intermediary structured data on the canvas. The Excel block is agentic and focused on high-quality spreadsheet production: formulas, formatting, multiple sheets, and charts.

It is an artifact builder block — running models in loops behind the scenes to produce finished spreadsheets that are downloadable and shareable.

## Key Features

* **Real formulas** — Generates spreadsheets with working Excel formulas, not just static data
* **Multiple sheets** — Produces multi-sheet workbooks for complex models and analyses
* **Charts** — Includes charts and data visualizations within the spreadsheet
* **Professional formatting** — Proper cell formatting, headers, and styling
* **Downloadable .xlsx** — Download the finished spreadsheet as an Excel file
* **Shareable links** — Share via URL with your team or stakeholders
* **Context integration** — Synthesizes data from connected blocks into structured spreadsheets

## How to Use

1. **Add an Excel Block** — Click on the canvas → Select "Excel Block"
2. **Describe the spreadsheet** — Provide instructions on what data, formulas, and structure you need
3. **Connect context** — Link to Research, Table, List, or other blocks to pull in data
4. **Generate** — Click run to produce the spreadsheet
5. **Download or share** — Download as .xlsx or share via the hosted link

## Example Use Cases

* **Financial models** — Revenue projections, scenario analysis, budget models, unit economics
* **Cap table models** — Equity ownership and dilution modeling
* **Pipeline trackers** — Sales pipeline, deal flow, or clinical trial tracking
* **Pricing models** — Competitive pricing analysis with formulas
* **Data analysis workbooks** — Multi-sheet analysis with charts and summaries
* **Comparison matrices** — Structured comparisons exported from canvas research
