Generate an application from a spreadsheet

Aim: Turn existing spreadsheet logic into a working application by uploading an XLSX file to Naia Build, rather than rebuilding the logic by hand.

Prerequisites

  • You have set up your Naia Build workspace.

  • You have an XLSX file whose logic, for example, formulas and macros, defines the behavior you want the application to reproduce.

Procedure

  1. In the Chat tab, upload your XLSX file.

  2. Describe any refinement you want beyond the spreadsheet logic itself, for example, the pages or navigation to build around it.

  3. Review the generated application in the live app editor.

    Result: Naia Build interprets the logic in the spreadsheet, for example, formulas and macros, and generates corresponding application structure and logic.

  4. Iterate on the result as you would with any generated application. See Iterate on the UI with Smart Inspect.

Result

  • An application generated from your spreadsheet logic is available in the live app editor, ready for iteration.
