The ask

Sent verbatim as the prompt. The agent works in a copy of the workspace below and sees nothing else.

Build me a monthly revenue report by region from this export - regions down the side, months across - as an Excel file with live formulas (report.xlsx), plus a short memo.md with the three things I should know.

Workspace

  • sales_export.csv

Expected deliverables

  • memo.md
  • report.xlsx
