Can Claude update an Excel workbook without breaking its formulas?

Otto Lehtonen 56 21 Oct 2026

Has anyone used Claude to make small changes to an existing Excel workbook—for example, updating a few input values or adding a column—while keeping the formulas and cell references intact?

I’m less concerned about generating a new spreadsheet from scratch than preserving the workbook I already use: formulas, formatting, and links between sheets. What kinds of edits have worked reliably for you, and what did you have to check manually afterward?
