  • Spreasdsheet Data
    • Celbridge allows you to work with Microsoft Excel file formats, with a full visual spreadsheet front-end (curtesy of SpreadJS), so you can edit and format your spreadsheets in a natural always.
  • Spreadsheet validation
    • a Python script can be set to run each time you make a change to a spreadsheet cell, automating spreadsheet validation/transformation.
