The most common thing people ask CodeCobra for is a number, and the most common way they want it is a spreadsheet. Ask for one in plain language and you get a real .xlsx workbook — not a CSV dump.

​
Asking for one

Describe the rows you want and how they should be arranged.
“All sales orders from the last 90 days with customer, salesperson, order total and margin. One sheet per region.”
“Inventory on hand by warehouse and product category, with a column flagging anything below reorder point.”
“Reconcile our bank statement against recorded payments and give me the unmatched lines.”
You can be as specific as you like about the shape — column order, sorting, subtotals, a summary sheet at the front. If you don’t say, CodeCobra picks a sensible layout and you can adjust it afterwards.

​
What you get

​
Reading it without downloading

Large workbooks preview in the browser, a page of rows at a time. That means you can sanity-check a 200,000-row export before deciding whether you actually want it on your laptop.
If a number looks wrong, ask about it in the same chat: “row 412 shows a negative margin — why?” CodeCobra can go back to the source records and explain, because it still has the connection it built the sheet from.

​
Changing it

Say what you want different and CodeCobra produces a new version:
“Sort descending by margin and drop the internal reference column.”
The previous version stays in the file’s history.
