arXiv:2603. 10002v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We consider the task of end-to-end spreadsheet generation, where language models produce spreadsheet artifacts to satisfy users' explicit and implicit constraints, specified in natural language.
arXiv:2605. 22664v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: LLM agents are increasingly expected to carry out end-to-end workflows, producing complete artifacts from high-level user instructions.
Spreadsheets are widely used for business analysis, financial modeling, reporting, and decision-making. However, most existing spreadsheet benchmarks evaluate isolated operations such as single-formula generation or local cell edits, and therefore fail to capture end-to-end workflows in realistic business settings.
Spreadsheets and tables are widely used representations for structured data analysis, but effective analysis still requires substantial manual effort and domain expertise. Recent large language model (LLM) agents can automate parts of this process, but they often provide limited transparency into intermediate decisions, rely on implicit assumptions, struggle with multi-table comparison, and repeat similar workflows without adapting to a user's preferences.
arXiv:2608. 07873v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce the workbook time machine, a pipeline that automatically creates benchmarks evaluating the ability of language models to create derived objects in spreadsheets (formulas, charts, pivot tables, and conditional formatting).

arXiv:2506. 12339v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present SheetMind, a modular multi-agent framework powered by large language models (LLMs) for spreadsheet automation via natural language instructions.
arXiv:2607. 19354v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spreadsheet applications are used by hundreds of millions worldwide, yet writing formulas remains a significant barrier.
The paper proposes a new framework that improves spreadsheet chunking for large language model (LLM)-driven retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems by adding semantic cell annotations. This approach outperforms current state‑of‑the‑art methods but is limited by the inherent two‑dimensional, unstructured nature of spreadsheets, which cannot be fully captured by finite classification categories. The authors argue that future progress requires dimensionality‑reduction techniques to flatten spreadsheets into one‑dimensional text, simplifying downstream RAG interpretation and generation.

arXiv:2607. 23670v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Plan Modes have become standard features in agentic programming tools, allowing users to gain transparency and control by working with the agent to develop a plan before task execution.
The paper proposes a new framework that uses semantic cell annotation to split spreadsheets into interpretable chunks for large language model (LLM)-driven Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. This approach improves answer generation by providing richer context rather than merely enhancing retrieval accuracy. However, the authors argue that the inherent two‑dimensional, unstructured nature of spreadsheets imposes a hard ceiling on classification‑based methods, suggesting that future work should focus on dimensionality‑reduction techniques to flatten spreadsheets into one‑dimensional text for easier processing by RAG.
arXiv:2608. 14452v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spreadsheets are widely used to organize, analyze, and manipulate semi-structured data, yet automated spreadsheet reasoning remains challenging for large language models (LLMs).
