🚀 How to Run

1. Install the package locally from the repository:

pip install .

For development:

pip install -e ".[dev]"

2. Run the sample automation from the command line:

excel-automation run \
  --input data/raw/sample_sales.csv \
  --output data/processed/automation_report.xlsx \
  --date-column "Order Date" \
  --numeric-column Revenue \
  --numeric-column Units \
  --dimension Region \
  --amount-column Revenue

3. Or import the VBA module into your Excel dashboard workbook:

excel/macros/RunAutomation.bas

4. Click “Run Automation” The VBA macro will:

• Export data
• Trigger Python pipelines
• Re-import clean data
• Refresh dashboards

The generated workbook includes:

• Raw Data
• Processed Data
• Summary
• Metadata

You can also run the module directly:

python -m excel_automation_toolkit run --input data/raw/sample_sales.csv

🧪 Tests

Install development dependencies and run:

pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest

Build and validate release artifacts:

python -m build
python -m twine check dist/*

Releases are automated through GitHub Actions. Push a semantic version tag such as v0.1.0, or create a release/v0.1.0 branch, to build the source distribution, wheel, and GitHub release assets.
