When does this happen?

IF When creating or modifying an Excel file with calculations, the agent should use Excel formulas instead of calculating values in Python and writing the result.

How others solved it

THEN Use openpyxl to set cells to Excel formulas like '=SUM(A1:A10)' rather than writing precomputed numbers. This keeps the spreadsheet dynamic and updateable when source data changes.

# Wrong: hardcoding
sheet['B10'] = total

# Correct: Excel formula
sheet['B10'] = '=SUM(B2:B9)'
