Data Analysis & Charts

What this solves

Drop an Excel/CSV file and get cleaning, pivoting, charting and a conclusion-first narrative — the same pipeline works for market recaps, operations data and research summaries.

What you need

• Skill: Office Documents
• Screenshot tables first? Image to Excel
• Recommended: a data-analysis built-in expert

Steps

1. State the question: "Which product line grew fastest this quarter?" beats "analyze this"
2. Confirm understanding: have the agent output column names and 3 sample rows before anything else
3. Two-phase instructions: first cleaning rules (dedupe/fill/date format) — confirm — then analysis and charts
4. Output format: one conclusion-first paragraph, at most 3 charts, data appendix attached

Tips

• Two-phase beats one-shot: an error in the cleaning layer poisons everything downstream
• Specify chart types and dimensions to avoid rework loops
• For sensitive data, prefer the desktop app with a scoped authorized folder
