Spreadsheets

​

What it does

Spreadsheets gives you a familiar grid for building models without leaving Pluvo. It works the way you expect a spreadsheet to: cells, formulas, multiple sheets, and a ribbon toolbar for formatting, filtering, sorting, and the rest. Start from a blank sheet, or import a workbook you already have, such as an existing FP&A model, and keep it alongside the rest of your work.

​

Creating a spreadsheet

Open Spreadsheets from the sidebar, then choose how to start.

​

What comes across when you import

Importing keeps the structure and logic of your workbook: values, formulas, number formats, merged cells, column widths, row heights, sheet names, and hidden sheets. Some things do not carry over, and Pluvo tells you which when the import finishes. Cell styling such as fonts, fills, and borders is not imported, and defined names, cell comments, and filters may be left behind too.

​

Working in a spreadsheet

Edit cells and write formulas as you would in any spreadsheet, and add sheets as you need them. The toolbar covers formatting, filtering, sorting, find and replace, data validation, and conditional formatting. Your work saves automatically a couple of seconds after you stop typing, and whenever you switch away. You can also press Cmd+S or Ctrl+S, or choose Save. The status beside it tells you whether everything is Saved or you have Unsaved changes.

​

Getting your work out

Choose Export .xlsx while you are in a spreadsheet, or Download .xlsx from its menu in the list, to save it as an Excel file named after the spreadsheet.

​

Finding and managing spreadsheets

The Spreadsheets list shows each spreadsheet’s name, owner, and when it was created and last updated, with the most recently updated first. Search finds spreadsheets by name. From a spreadsheet’s menu in the list you can Rename it, Download .xlsx, or Delete it. Deleting is permanent and cannot be undone. Only the person who created a spreadsheet, or an organization admin, can delete it.
