Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Excel File | excel_file | file | — | ✓ | The target Excel workbook (.xlsx / .xls) file into which values will be inserted; must be provided — no default. |
| Values | values | keyvalue | — | ✓ | Key-value collection whose values are written into the spreadsheet sequentially; each value maps to a cell starting from the position defined by cell_info. |
| Type of Insert | insertion_type | select | cell_start | ✓ | Controls how cells are addressed: ‘cell_start’ fills values sequentially beginning from a single cell (e.g. A1), while ‘specific_cells’ maps each value to an explicit comma-separated list of cells (e.g. A1,B3,C5); defaults to ‘cell_start’. |
| Cell Info | cell_info | text | A1 | Cell address(es) used for insertion — either a single starting cell such as ‘A1’ (for cell_start mode) or a comma-separated list of addresses such as ‘A1,A2,A3’ (for specific_cells mode) that must match the number of values; defaults to ‘A1’. | |
| Sheet name | sheet_name | text | — | Name of the worksheet tab within the workbook where values will be written; if left blank, the first (active) sheet is targeted. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Records | records | dataset | Dataset representation of the updated Excel content, reflecting the rows and columns of the modified sheet after value insertion. |
