What is Excel automation?
Excel automation lets software bots handle both routine and complex spreadsheet tasks with speed and accuracy. They can navigate through sheets, enter and validate data, apply formulas, filter columns, and move information between systems.
By managing processes like report consolidation, data validation, and cross-system transfers, automation frees you from repetitive work and makes spreadsheet operations faster, more reliable, and scalable.
