Working Formulas
TL;DR
Excel formulas (VLOOKUP, SUMIFS, INDEX-MATCH, IF) that Cowork writes as functional, recalculating formulas — not static values that merely look like formulas.
Definition
Excel formulas (VLOOKUP, SUMIFS, INDEX-MATCH, IF) that Cowork writes as functional, recalculating formulas — not static values that merely look like formulas. When you change a value in the source data, the formulas update automatically. This is a key differentiator from basic data dumps.
Exam Context
A common exam trap claims that Cowork-generated Excel files contain static values. They do not — Cowork writes real, working formulas that recalculate when data changes.
