- michaelmarkell 1y agoNot really. Take for example: item, date, price abc, 01/01/2023, $30 cde, 02/01/2023, $40 ... 100k rows ... subtotal. $1000 def, 03/01,2023, $20 "Hey Claude, what's the total from this file? > grep for headers > "Ah, I see column 3 is the price value" > SUM(C2:C) -> $2020 > "Great! I found your total!" If you can find me an example of tech that can solve this at scale on large, diverse Excel formats, then I'll concede, but I haven't found something actually trustworthy for important data sets
- stevenhuang 1y agoThat's a basic tool call that current models already can do well. All the sql query generation LLMs can do this for example.
