Eleven new rows every Friday, typed by nobody
A companion reads the workbook’s shape first, writes only the cells at row 151, and leaves the formula column and the conditional formats exactly where they were.
The tracker has a hundred and fifty rows, four sheets, a column of formulas somebody clever wrote in 2024, and a conditional format nobody dares touch. Eleven rows get typed into it by hand every Friday, because a tool that regenerates the sheet has broken it before.
A companion peeks first: sheet names, used range, row and column counts, headers, last rows of data. The data ends at row 150, so it writes the eleven rows starting at A151 and stops. Nothing else in the file moves.
Append this week’s rows to the tracker
The peek says the data ends at row 150, so the next empty row is 151.
The companion writes the eleven rows at A151 and stops. The update tool is a partial write by design, which is what keeps the formula column and the conditional formats alive.
When the answer needs a new file rather than a new row, that is covered too: create a workbook from a two-dimensional array of values, add a sheet to an existing one, or generate a Word document from markdown with headings, lists, links and tables intact.
What else does the OneDrive surface hold?
A file half you can live in: list the drives available to you (personal, business, shared libraries) list a folder, create folders, move or rename, copy with the operation waited out to completion, read a file’s content, and delete to the recycle bin where an item can be restored.
- Peek before you write: sheet names, used range, row counts, headers, last rows.
- Partial cell updates that leave untouched data untouched.
- Search inside document contents, not only filenames.
- Deletes go to the recycle bin, and still wait for your confirmation.
Can a companion search inside the documents?
Yes. Search matches names and metadata by default, and asked to, it reads inside document contents (Word, Excel, PDF) which turns "find the deck where we committed to the March date" into a single question with a single answer.
Text and Office documents come back inline; images, PDFs and archives are downloaded to disk. Sharing links and permissions live in the SharePoint tools, so putting a file in OneDrive and sharing it with a vendor runs across both surfaces from one instruction.
Build the quarterly report and file it
Pull this quarter’s numbers from the dashboards you are signed into, append them to the tracker at row 151, write the commentary as a Word document, and put both in the folder the team reads. Then run it again next quarter without being asked.
That recurring assembly is a week of operations work compressed into one pass, and it pairs with the SharePoint surface when the destination is a team site rather than a personal drive.
