Use case guide

Clean spreadsheet data without hiding the edits

Short answer: Tablyra converts cleanup intent into constrained actions and shows every modified cell before output.

Source files

Customers.xlsx

Files remain in the desktop app and their schema is inspected before execution.

Output

A cleaned copy plus Issues for values that need review.

The final output comes from the same reviewed preview result.

Example request
Trim names, normalize email and phone values, remove exact duplicates, and flag missing customer IDs.

You can add more conditions. Each message updates the active plan instead of creating an unrelated result.

Execution steps

The full review path from file to output.

  1. 01

    Add and inspect source files

    Confirm files, sheets, schema, and workbook features that need preservation.

  2. 02

    Describe the goal in natural language

    The planner selects constrained actions from the current instruction, schema, and approved samples.

  3. 03

    Review plan and result

    Edit steps and inspect Result, Diff, Issues, and the effect of each action.

  4. 04

    Write and verify output

    Create a new file by default; source replacement requires a verified backup.

Action plan

Model-visible actions are explicit and constrained.

Column references and parameters validate against the current schema; a plan that cannot compile safely does not execute.

Before saving

Review these results.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does this workflow upload the full spreadsheet?

No. Transformation runs locally. The planner receives only the current instruction, schema, and small samples you approve.

Is Microsoft Excel required?

Excel is not required to process supported CSV and XLSX files. You can use Excel or another compatible app to open the finished result.

What happens when headers or matching conditions are ambiguous?

Tablyra asks for clarification or creates an Issue instead of guessing a field or silently running a high-risk operation.

Can I refine the result after the first run?

Yes. Additional messages update the same validated plan and local preview until you choose to save the final output.
