 "title": "Generate a live workbook for every record in a batch",
 "page_title": "How to generate a live workbook for every record in a batch with Open Sheet",
 "summary": "Turn each row of incoming data into its own .xlsx, with formulas kept rather than baked values.",
 "who": "An operations or finance lead who receives hundreds of invoices or monthly packs from a data pipeline.",
 "problem": "Hand-building or editing each file does not scale, and workbooks with baked numbers hide the logic behind them.",
 "outcome": "One rebuilt .xlsx per record, each with live formulas, regenerated whenever the source data changes.",
 "steps": [
  "`npx @open-sheet/cli init my-sheets`",
  "`cd my-sheets && npm install`",
  "Write one sheet source file whose data array is filled from your pipeline's records.",
  "`npm run dev` and check one generated sheet in the viewer.",
  "Run the export once per record and store each `.xlsx` in your output folder. (inferred, check the README)"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the open-sheet repo at <project path>, create a sheet template that reads the rows in <input file> and exports one .xlsx per row to <output folder>. Each file must keep its formulas instead of values. Verify that the number of exported files equals the number of input rows and that formula cells remain formulas in one sample file.",
