Excel/CSV upgrade

Turn an old spreadsheet into a cleaner workbook.

Upload an Excel or CSV file, keep the original rows, and create a cleaner workbook with mapped columns, formulas, dropdowns, summaries and help notes. Use My Data is the template-specific version when you already picked a target workbook.

Problem

Why this feature exists

Many users do not need a new workbook; they already have a messy Excel or CSV export. The real pain is inconsistent headers, missing helper columns, weak formulas, no summary view and fear that cleanup will damage original rows.

Approach

How WorkbookWise handles it

Fix My Excel keeps the uploaded rows intact, detects the workbook purpose, maps available columns, adds useful structure, and shows the original and upgraded output before the user saves anything. Use My Data uses the same upload-and-map idea but starts from a selected ready-made template.

How it works

From input to useful output

1

Upload Excel or CSV

Start with the user file instead of asking them to copy data into a new template.

2

Detect the structure

WorkbookWise reads sheets, rows, headers and likely purpose so the user can confirm the mapping.

3

Fill safe defaults

The flow suggests practical defaults and asks the user to change only what looks wrong.

4

Preview original and upgraded

Users can inspect preserved rows and added workbook structure before saving.

5

Save the upgraded XLSX

The final output is validated and stored under My Workbooks when the user saves it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I check the output before saving?
