excel-formatting-and-units
Handling percentages, rounding, and preserving workbook styles. Use this skill whenever a task requires specific output formats like decimal rounding or percentage conversions without changing existing workbook formatting.
Displaying Percentages as Whole Numbers
If the user requests a result to be displayed as 12.3 for 12.3%:
- Formula:
=(Raw_Calculation) * 100 - Combined with rounding:
=ROUND((Raw_Calculation) * 100, 1)
Preserving Workbook Formatting
When updating cells with new formulas, it's critical to maintain the existing visual style:
- Style Overwrite: Avoid any operations that replace cell styles (colors, borders, fonts).
- Data Insertion: Only modify the cell value or formula property, not the entire cell object.
- Excel Colors: Use industry standards (Blue for inputs, Black for formulas) if the template is empty, but always follow the existing pattern first.
Working with Specific Cell Ranges
When the user specifies a range (e.g., H12:L17), ensure every cell in that range is correctly populated with the intended logic.
- Verify the start and end of the range.
- Use consistent relative/absolute references for easier formula application.
