단계별: Spire.Agent.Office로 Excel에서 계산 자동화하기

다음은 이 .NET AI Agent SDK를 사용하여 영업 수수료 계산을 동적으로 자동화하는 개발자 중심 워크플로입니다.

1단계: AI 에이전트 초기화 및 문서 로드

코드에서 Spire.Agent를 인스턴스화하고 대상 Excel 통합 문서를 로드합니다. 에이전트는 기본 Spire.Office 엔진을 사용하여 통합 문서의 메타데이터를 스캔합니다.

using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;


AIOptions options = new AIOptions();
options.SpireToken = "your_spire_token";

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

workbook.LoadFromFile("SalesData.xlsx");
AIDocumentProcessor processor = workbook.AI(options);

2단계: 자연어로 계산 로직 정의

여기에서 AI의 마법이 일어납니다. 모든 행에 대해 복잡한 IF 문을 수동으로 작성하는 대신, 에이전트에 프롬프트를 보냅니다:

string instruction = @"
In this input sales dataset. Column A is 'Sales Rep', Column B is 'Revenue', Column C is 'Target'.
Add a Column D with the same style and set its header as 'Commission' in D1
Create a calculation rule for Column D (Commission):
If Revenue exceeds Target, calculate 15% of Revenue. Otherwise, calculate 5%.
Apply this formula to the entire data range dynamically.
";

3단계: 계획 실행

에이전트는 정적 수식 텍스트가 아닌 구조화된 계산 계획을 생성합니다. Spire.Office는 계산된 필드를 워크시트 셀에 직접 적용합니다.

AIResult result = processor.ExecuteInstruction(
    workbook,
    instruction,
    "Calculated_data.xlsx"
);

전체 C# 코드 예제:

using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;


AIOptions options = new AIOptions();
options.SpireToken = "spireToken";

using (Workbook workbook = new Workbook())
{
    workbook.LoadFromFile("SalesData.xlsx");
    AIDocumentProcessor processor = workbook.AI(options);

    string instruction = @"
    In this input sales dataset. Column A is 'Sales Rep', Column B is 'Revenue', Column C is 'Target'.
    Add a Column D with the same style and add a header 'Commission' in D1
    Create a calculation rule for Column D (Commission):
    If Revenue exceeds Target, calculate 15% of Revenue. Otherwise, calculate 5%.
    Apply this formula to the entire data range dynamically.
";

    AIResult result = processor.ExecuteInstruction(
        workbook,
        instruction,
        "Calculated_data.xlsx"
    );
}

핵심 API 개요

• AIOptions: AI 에이전트의 구성 컨테이너입니다. SpireToken(인증에 필요)을 설정하고, TimeoutMs(선택 사항)를 조정하며, 임시 파일용 WorkDir를 지정하는 데 사용합니다.
• AIDocumentProcessor: 문서 처리를 담당하는 AI 에이전트 인스턴스입니다. 지원되는 모든 문서 객체(Workbook, Document, Presentation 또는 PdfDocument)에서 .AI() 확장 메서드를 호출하여 얻습니다.
• AIResult: ExecuteInstruction의 반환 객체입니다. 실행 상태와 출력 경로를 포함하므로 성공 여부를 확인하거나 프로그래밍 방식으로 오류를 처리할 수 있습니다.

결과:

출력 파일에서 D열은 올바른 Excel 수식으로 채워집니다: =IF(B2>C2, B2*0.15, B2*0.05)

string spireToken = "your_spire_token";

// Ensure the output directory exists
Directory.CreateDirectory(outputFolder);

// 2. Setup AI Options
AIOptions agentOptions = new AIOptions();
agentOptions.WorkDir = outputFolder; // Sets the working/temp directory
agentOptions.SpireToken = spireToken;

// 3. Define your calculation logic (Natural Language Prompt)
string calculationPrompt = @"Input your calculation logic";

// 4. Loop through all Excel files
foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles(inputFolder, "*.xlsx"))
{
    // Define the output path (keeps the same filename)
    string outputPath = Path.Combine(outputFolder, Path.GetFileName(file));

    // Dispose the workbook after each file to free memory
    using (Workbook workbook = new Workbook())
    {
        // Load the source Excel file
        workbook.LoadFromFile(file);

        // Execute the AI instruction
        AIResult result = workbook.AI(agentOptions).ExecuteInstruction(
            workbook,              // Pass the document instance
            calculationPrompt,     // The prompt
            outputPath,            // Full path to save the processed file
            new string[] { }       // Additional options (empty array)
        );
    }
}

Perché l'automazione tradizionale di Excel non è all'altezza

I metodi tradizionali presentano limiti critici per le implementazioni aziendali moderne.

Metodo	Svantaggi
VBA	Solo Windows, richiede l'installazione di Office, lento con grandi set di dati, nessuna AI.
Interop	Soggetto a perdite di memoria, non sicuro per i server, licenze costose.
Open XML SDK	Di basso livello, complesso, nessuna generazione di formule, nessuna AI.
Spire.XLS	Eccellente per la creazione di formule, ma manca di inferenza AI. Devi codificare manualmente ogni stringa IF o VLOOKUP.

La soluzione? Un moderno SDK per agenti AI .NET che comprende le tue regole aziendali in linguaggio naturale e le esegue su larga scala.

Presentazione di Spire.Agent.Office – La soluzione AI

Spire.Agent.Office è una libreria avanzata di automazione documentale basata su AI per .NET, progettata per semplificare l'elaborazione di Excel, Word, PowerPoint e PDF. Il suo modulo dedicato Spire.Agent.XLS è specializzato nell'automazione intelligente di Excel, inclusa la generazione di formule, il calcolo automatico, l'analisi dei dati e la trasformazione dei fogli di calcolo.

A differenza delle librerie statiche, Spire.Agent.Office aggiunge capacità di calcolo dinamico – descrivi ciò che vuoi e l'AI lo traduce in formule Excel precise e le esegue.

Come funziona?

La libreria si basa su un moderno flusso di lavoro potenziato da LLM (Large Language Model). Ecco la pipeline tecnica:

Developer Input (Workbook + Plain-Text Prompt)
         ↓
Spire.Agent.Office (AI Translation Layer)
         ↓
Structured Computation Plan
         ↓
Spire.Office (Execution Engine)
         ↓
Updated Excel File or Data Output

1. Livello di input: lo sviluppatore fornisce un file .xls o .xlsx, un prompt in testo semplice e un SpireToken per l'autenticazione AI.
2. Analisi semantica: l'AI di Spire.Agent.Office analizza i metadati della cartella di lavoro e li invia al LLM insieme al prompt.
3. Pianificazione strutturata: l'AI genera un piano di calcolo deterministico—un insieme ordinato di operazioni del motore—anziché testo grezzo di formule.
4. Motore di esecuzione: Spire.Office esegue il piano, scrive le formule direttamente nelle celle senza avviare Excel e forza un ricalcolo completo della catena di dipendenze.
5. Output: la cartella di lavoro aggiornata viene salvata su disco o restituita come MemoryStream per risposte API dirette.

Funzionalità principali di calcolo Excel

• Genera automaticamente e aggiungi formule in Excel (funzioni SUM, AVERAGE, VLOOKUP, IF) tramite codice o prompt in linguaggio naturale
• Forza il ricalcolo completo della cartella di lavoro/foglio di lavoro a livello di codice
• Automatizza il calcolo in batch per più file Excel e grandi set di dati
• Pulizia dei dati basata su AI prima del calcolo per garantire risultati accurati
• Adattamento dinamico delle formule in base alle modifiche del set di dati
• Esporta senza problemi i file Excel calcolati in PDF, CSV e altri formati

Passo dopo passo: automatizza i calcoli in Excel con Spire.Agent.Office

Ecco un flusso di lavoro orientato allo sviluppatore per automatizzare dinamicamente il calcolo delle commissioni di vendita utilizzando questo SDK .NET per agenti AI.

Passaggio 1: inizializza l'agente AI e carica il documento

Nel tuo codice, istanzierai Spire.Agent e caricherai la cartella di lavoro Excel di destinazione. L'agente utilizza il motore Spire.Office sottostante per analizzare i metadati della cartella di lavoro.

using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;


AIOptions options = new AIOptions();
options.SpireToken = "your_spire_token";

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

workbook.LoadFromFile("SalesData.xlsx");
AIDocumentProcessor processor = workbook.AI(options);

Passaggio 2: definisci la logica di calcolo tramite linguaggio naturale

Qui avviene la magia dell'AI. Invece di scrivere manualmente un'istruzione IF complessa per ogni riga, invii un prompt all'agente:

string instruction = @"
In this input sales dataset. Column A is 'Sales Rep', Column B is 'Revenue', Column C is 'Target'.
Add a Column D with the same style and set its header as 'Commission' in D1
Create a calculation rule for Column D (Commission):
If Revenue exceeds Target, calculate 15% of Revenue. Otherwise, calculate 5%.
Apply this formula to the entire data range dynamically.
";

Passaggio 3: esegui il piano

L'agente produce un piano di calcolo strutturato anziché testo statico di formule. Spire.Office applica i campi calcolati direttamente alle celle del foglio di lavoro.

AIResult result = processor.ExecuteInstruction(
    workbook,
    instruction,
    "Calculated_data.xlsx"
);

Esempio completo di codice C#:

using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;


AIOptions options = new AIOptions();
options.SpireToken = "spireToken";

using (Workbook workbook = new Workbook())
{
    workbook.LoadFromFile("SalesData.xlsx");
    AIDocumentProcessor processor = workbook.AI(options);

    string instruction = @"
    In this input sales dataset. Column A is 'Sales Rep', Column B is 'Revenue', Column C is 'Target'.
    Add a Column D with the same style and add a header 'Commission' in D1
    Create a calculation rule for Column D (Commission):
    If Revenue exceeds Target, calculate 15% of Revenue. Otherwise, calculate 5%.
    Apply this formula to the entire data range dynamically.
";

    AIResult result = processor.ExecuteInstruction(
        workbook,
        instruction,
        "Calculated_data.xlsx"
    );
}

Panoramica delle API principali

• AIOptions: contenitore di configurazione per l'agente AI. Usalo per impostare SpireToken (richiesto per l'autenticazione), regolare TimeoutMs (opzionale) e specificare un WorkDir per i file temporanei.
• AIDocumentProcessor: l'istanza dell'agente AI che gestisce l'elaborazione dei documenti. Ottienila chiamando il metodo di estensione .AI() su qualsiasi oggetto documento supportato (Workbook, Document, Presentation o PdfDocument).
• AIResult: l'oggetto restituito da ExecuteInstruction. Contiene lo stato di esecuzione e il percorso di output, consentendoti di verificare il successo o gestire gli errori a livello di codice.

Risultato:

Nel file di output, la colonna D verrà popolata con la formula Excel corretta: =IF(B2>C2, B2*0.15, B2*0.05)

---

Automazione avanzata: elaborazione in batch di centinaia di file

Per report mensili ricorrenti, racchiudi la logica in un ciclo per elaborare un'intera cartella:

using System.IO;
using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;

// 1. Configuration
string inputFolder = @"C:\reports\inbox";
string outputFolder = @"C:\reports\output";
string spireToken = "your_spire_token";

// Ensure the output directory exists
Directory.CreateDirectory(outputFolder);

// 2. Setup AI Options
AIOptions agentOptions = new AIOptions();
agentOptions.WorkDir = outputFolder; // Sets the working/temp directory
agentOptions.SpireToken = spireToken;

// 3. Define your calculation logic (Natural Language Prompt)
string calculationPrompt = @"Input your calculation logic";

// 4. Loop through all Excel files
foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles(inputFolder, "*.xlsx"))
{
    // Define the output path (keeps the same filename)
    string outputPath = Path.Combine(outputFolder, Path.GetFileName(file));

    // Dispose the workbook after each file to free memory
    using (Workbook workbook = new Workbook())
    {
        // Load the source Excel file
        workbook.LoadFromFile(file);

        // Execute the AI instruction
        AIResult result = workbook.AI(agentOptions).ExecuteInstruction(
            workbook,              // Pass the document instance
            calculationPrompt,     // The prompt
            outputPath,            // Full path to save the processed file
            new string[] { }       // Additional options (empty array)
        );
    }
}

Présentation de Spire.Agent.Office – La solution IA

Spire.Agent.Office est une bibliothèque avancée d'automatisation documentaire pilotée par l'IA pour .NET, conçue pour rationaliser le traitement Excel, Word, PowerPoint et PDF. Son module dédié Spire.Agent.XLS est spécialisé dans l'automatisation intelligente d'Excel, notamment la génération de formules, le calcul automatique, l'analyse de données et la transformation de feuilles de calcul.

Contrairement aux bibliothèques statiques, Spire.Agent.Office ajoute des capacités de calcul dynamique – vous décrivez ce que vous voulez, et l'IA le traduit en formules Excel précises et les exécute.

Comment ça marche ?

La bibliothèque fonctionne selon un flux de travail amélioré par LLM (grand modèle de langage) moderne. Voici le pipeline technique :

Developer Input (Workbook + Plain-Text Prompt)
         ↓
Spire.Agent.Office (AI Translation Layer)
         ↓
Structured Computation Plan
         ↓
Spire.Office (Execution Engine)
         ↓
Updated Excel File or Data Output

1. Couche d'entrée : le développeur fournit un fichier .xls ou .xlsx, une invite en texte brut et un SpireToken pour l'authentification IA.
2. Analyse sémantique : l'IA Spire.Agent.Office analyse les métadonnées du classeur et les envoie avec l'invite au LLM.
3. Planification structurée : l'IA génère un plan de calcul déterministe — un ensemble ordonné d'opérations du moteur — plutôt que du texte de formule brut.
4. Moteur d'exécution : Spire.Office exécute le plan, écrit les formules directement dans les cellules sans lancer Excel et force un recalcul complet de la chaîne de dépendances.
5. Sortie : le classeur mis à jour est enregistré sur le disque ou renvoyé sous forme de MemoryStream pour des réponses API directes.

Étape par étape : automatiser les calculs dans Excel avec Spire.Agent.Office

Voici un flux de travail orienté développeur pour automatiser dynamiquement un calcul de commission sur les ventes à l'aide de ce SDK .NET AI Agent.

Étape 1 : initialiser l'agent IA et charger le document

Dans votre code, vous instancierez Spire.Agent et chargerez votre classeur Excel cible. L'agent utilise le moteur Spire.Office sous-jacent pour analyser les métadonnées du classeur.

using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;


AIOptions options = new AIOptions();
options.SpireToken = "your_spire_token";

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

workbook.LoadFromFile("SalesData.xlsx");
AIDocumentProcessor processor = workbook.AI(options);

Étape 2 : définir la logique de calcul via le langage naturel

C'est ici que la magie de l'IA opère. Au lieu d'écrire manuellement une instruction IF complexe pour chaque ligne, vous envoyez une invite à l'Agent :

string instruction = @"
In this input sales dataset. Column A is 'Sales Rep', Column B is 'Revenue', Column C is 'Target'.
Add a Column D with the same style and set its header as 'Commission' in D1
Create a calculation rule for Column D (Commission):
If Revenue exceeds Target, calculate 15% of Revenue. Otherwise, calculate 5%.
Apply this formula to the entire data range dynamically.
";

Étape 3 : exécuter le plan

L'agent produit un plan de calcul structuré plutôt qu'un texte de formule statique. Spire.Office applique les champs calculés directement sur les cellules de la feuille de calcul.

AIResult result = processor.ExecuteInstruction(
    workbook,
    instruction,
    "Calculated_data.xlsx"
);

Exemple de code C# complet :

using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;


AIOptions options = new AIOptions();
options.SpireToken = "spireToken";

using (Workbook workbook = new Workbook())
{
    workbook.LoadFromFile("SalesData.xlsx");
    AIDocumentProcessor processor = workbook.AI(options);

    string instruction = @"
    In this input sales dataset. Column A is 'Sales Rep', Column B is 'Revenue', Column C is 'Target'.
    Add a Column D with the same style and add a header 'Commission' in D1
    Create a calculation rule for Column D (Commission):
    If Revenue exceeds Target, calculate 15% of Revenue. Otherwise, calculate 5%.
    Apply this formula to the entire data range dynamically.
";

    AIResult result = processor.ExecuteInstruction(
        workbook,
        instruction,
        "Calculated_data.xlsx"
    );
}

Aperçu des API principales

• AIOptions : conteneur de configuration pour l'agent IA. Utilisez-le pour définir le SpireToken (requis pour l'authentification), ajuster le TimeoutMs (facultatif) et spécifier un WorkDir pour les fichiers temporaires.
• AIDocumentProcessor : l'instance de l'agent IA qui gère le traitement des documents. Obtenez-la en appelant la méthode d'extension .AI() sur tout objet document pris en charge (Workbook, Document, Presentation ou PdfDocument).
• AIResult : l'objet de retour de ExecuteInstruction. Il contient l'état d'exécution et le chemin de sortie, ce qui vous permet de vérifier le succès ou de gérer les erreurs par programmation.

Résultat :

Dans le fichier de sortie, la colonne D sera remplie avec la formule Excel correcte : =IF(B2>C2, B2*0.15, B2*0.05)

using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;

// 1. Configuration
string inputFolder = @"C:\reports\inbox";
string outputFolder = @"C:\reports\output";
string spireToken = "your_spire_token";

// Ensure the output directory exists
Directory.CreateDirectory(outputFolder);

// 2. Setup AI Options
AIOptions agentOptions = new AIOptions();
agentOptions.WorkDir = outputFolder; // Sets the working/temp directory
agentOptions.SpireToken = spireToken;

// 3. Define your calculation logic (Natural Language Prompt)
string calculationPrompt = @"Input your calculation logic";

// 4. Loop through all Excel files
foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles(inputFolder, "*.xlsx"))
{
    // Define the output path (keeps the same filename)
    string outputPath = Path.Combine(outputFolder, Path.GetFileName(file));

    // Dispose the workbook after each file to free memory
    using (Workbook workbook = new Workbook())
    {
        // Load the source Excel file
        workbook.LoadFromFile(file);

        // Execute the AI instruction
        AIResult result = workbook.AI(agentOptions).ExecuteInstruction(
            workbook,              // Pass the document instance
            calculationPrompt,     // The prompt
            outputPath,            // Full path to save the processed file
            new string[] { }       // Additional options (empty array)
        );
    }
}

Paso a paso: Automatizar cálculos en Excel con Spire.Agent.Office

A continuación se presenta un flujo de trabajo centrado en el desarrollador para automatizar dinámicamente el cálculo de comisiones de ventas utilizando este SDK de agentes de IA para .NET.

Paso 1: Inicializar el agente de IA y cargar el documento

En tu código, instanciarás el Spire.Agent y cargarás tu libro de trabajo de Excel objetivo. El agente utiliza el motor subyacente de Spire.Office para escanear los metadatos del libro de trabajo.

using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;


AIOptions options = new AIOptions();
options.SpireToken = "your_spire_token";

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

workbook.LoadFromFile("SalesData.xlsx");
AIDocumentProcessor processor = workbook.AI(options);

Paso 2: Definir la lógica de cálculo mediante lenguaje natural

Aquí es donde ocurre la magia de la IA. En lugar de escribir manualmente una declaración IF compleja para cada fila, envías un prompt al Agente:

string instruction = @"
In this input sales dataset. Column A is 'Sales Rep', Column B is 'Revenue', Column C is 'Target'.
Add a Column D with the same style and set its header as 'Commission' in D1
Create a calculation rule for Column D (Commission):
If Revenue exceeds Target, calculate 15% of Revenue. Otherwise, calculate 5%.
Apply this formula to the entire data range dynamically.
";

Paso 3: Ejecutar el plan

El agente produce un plan de cálculo estructurado en lugar de texto de fórmula estático. Spire.Office aplica los campos calculados directamente en las celdas de la hoja de cálculo.

AIResult result = processor.ExecuteInstruction(
    workbook,
    instruction,
    "Calculated_data.xlsx"
);

Ejemplo completo de código C#:

using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;


AIOptions options = new AIOptions();
options.SpireToken = "spireToken";

using (Workbook workbook = new Workbook())
{
    workbook.LoadFromFile("SalesData.xlsx");
    AIDocumentProcessor processor = workbook.AI(options);

    string instruction = @"
    In this input sales dataset. Column A is 'Sales Rep', Column B is 'Revenue', Column C is 'Target'.
    Add a Column D with the same style and add a header 'Commission' in D1
    Create a calculation rule for Column D (Commission):
    If Revenue exceeds Target, calculate 15% of Revenue. Otherwise, calculate 5%.
    Apply this formula to the entire data range dynamically.
";

    AIResult result = processor.ExecuteInstruction(
        workbook,
        instruction,
        "Calculated_data.xlsx"
    );
}

Descripción general de las API principales

• AIOptions: Contenedor de configuración para el agente de IA. Úsalo para establecer el SpireToken (requerido para la autenticación), ajustar el TimeoutMs (opcional) y especificar un WorkDir para archivos temporales.
• AIDocumentProcessor: La instancia del agente de IA que gestiona el procesamiento de documentos. Obténla llamando al método de extensión .AI() en cualquier objeto de documento compatible (Workbook, Document, Presentation o PdfDocument).
• AIResult: El objeto devuelto por ExecuteInstruction. Contiene el estado de ejecución y la ruta de salida, lo que te permite verificar el éxito o gestionar errores mediante programación.

Resultado:

En el archivo de salida, la columna D se rellenará con la fórmula correcta de Excel: =IF(B2>C2, B2*0.15, B2*0.05)

Warum herkömmliche Excel-Automatisierung nicht ausreicht

Herkömmliche Methoden bringen kritische Einschränkungen für moderne Unternehmensbereitstellungen mit sich.

Methode	Nachteile
VBA	Nur Windows, erfordert Office-Installation, langsam bei großen Datensätzen, keine KI.
Interop	Anfällig für Speicherlecks, nicht serverseitig sicher, teure Lizenzierung.
Open XML SDK	Low-Level, komplex, keine Formelgenerierung, keine KI.
Spire.XLS	Hervorragend für Formelerstellung, aber es fehlt KI-Inferenz. Sie müssen jede IF- oder VLOOKUP-Zeichenfolge fest codieren.

Die Lösung? Ein modernes .NET-KI-Agent-SDK, das Ihre Geschäftsregeln in einfachem Englisch versteht und sie im großen Maßstab ausführt.

Einführung in Spire.Agent.Office – Die KI-Lösung

Spire.Agent.Office ist eine fortschrittliche KI-gesteuerte Dokumentenautomatisierungsbibliothek für .NET, die die Verarbeitung von Excel, Word, PowerPoint und PDF optimiert. Ihr spezielles Modul Spire.Agent.XLS ist auf intelligente Excel-Automatisierung spezialisiert, einschließlich Formelgenerierung, automatischer Berechnung, Datenanalyse und Tabellenkalkulationstransformation.

Im Gegensatz zu statischen Bibliotheken bietet Spire.Agent.Office dynamische Berechnungsfunktionen – Sie beschreiben, was Sie möchten, und die KI übersetzt es in präzise Excel-Formeln und führt sie aus.

Wie es funktioniert

Die Bibliothek arbeitet mit einem modernen LLM (Large Language Model)-erweiterten Workflow. Hier ist die technische Pipeline:

Developer Input (Workbook + Plain-Text Prompt)
         ↓
Spire.Agent.Office (AI Translation Layer)
         ↓
Structured Computation Plan
         ↓
Spire.Office (Execution Engine)
         ↓
Updated Excel File or Data Output

1. Eingabeebene: Der Entwickler stellt eine .xls- oder .xlsx-Datei, einen Klartext-Prompt und ein SpireToken für die KI-Authentifizierung bereit.
2. Semantische Analyse: Die Spire.Agent.Office-KI scannt die Arbeitsmappenmetadaten und sendet sie zusammen mit dem Prompt an das LLM.
3. Strukturierte Planung: Die KI generiert einen deterministischen Berechnungsplan – eine geordnete Menge von Engine-Operationen – anstelle von rohem Formeltext.
4. Ausführungs-Engine: Spire.Office führt den Plan aus, schreibt Formeln direkt in Zellen, ohne Excel zu starten, und erzwingt eine vollständige Neuberechnung der Abhängigkeitskette.
5. Ausgabe: Die aktualisierte Arbeitsmappe wird auf der Festplatte gespeichert oder als MemoryStream für direkte API-Antworten zurückgegeben.

Kernfunktionen für Excel-Berechnungen

• Automatisches Generieren und Hinzufügen von Formeln in Excel (SUM-, AVERAGE-, VLOOKUP-, IF-Funktionen) über Code oder natürlichsprachliche Prompts
• Vollständige Neuberechnung der Arbeitsmappe/des Arbeitsblatts programmgesteuert erzwingen
• Batch-Berechnung für mehrere Excel-Dateien und große Datensätze automatisieren
• KI-gestützte Datenbereinigung vor der Berechnung, um genaue Ergebnisse zu gewährleisten
• Dynamische Formelanpassung basierend auf Datensatzänderungen
• Berechnete Excel-Dateien nahtlos in PDF, CSV und andere Formate exportieren

Schritt für Schritt: Berechnungen in Excel mit Spire.Agent.Office automatisieren

Hier ist ein entwicklerzentrierter Workflow zur dynamischen Automatisierung einer Vertriebsprovisionsberechnung mit diesem .NET-KI-Agent-SDK.

Schritt 1: KI-Agent initialisieren und Dokument laden

In Ihrem Code instanziieren Sie den Spire.Agent und laden Ihre Ziel-Excel-Arbeitsmappe. Der Agent verwendet die zugrunde liegende Spire.Office-Engine, um die Metadaten der Arbeitsmappe zu scannen.

using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;

AIOptions options = new AIOptions();
options.SpireToken = "your_spire_token";

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

workbook.LoadFromFile("SalesData.xlsx");
AIDocumentProcessor processor = workbook.AI(options);

Schritt 2: Berechnungslogik über natürliche Sprache definieren

Hier geschieht die KI-Magie. Anstatt für jede Zeile manuell eine komplexe IF-Anweisung zu schreiben, senden Sie einen Prompt an den Agenten:

string instruction = @"
In this input sales dataset. Column A is 'Sales Rep', Column B is 'Revenue', Column C is 'Target'.
Add a Column D with the same style and set its header as 'Commission' in D1
Create a calculation rule for Column D (Commission):
If Revenue exceeds Target, calculate 15% of Revenue. Otherwise, calculate 5%.
Apply this formula to the entire data range dynamically.
";

Schritt 3: Plan ausführen

Der Agent erzeugt einen strukturierten Berechnungsplan anstelle von statischem Formeltext. Spire.Office wendet die berechneten Felder direkt auf Arbeitsblattzellen an.

AIResult result = processor.ExecuteInstruction(
    workbook,
    instruction,
    "Calculated_data.xlsx"
);

Vollständiges C#-Codebeispiel:

using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;

AIOptions options = new AIOptions();
options.SpireToken = "spireToken";

using (Workbook workbook = new Workbook())
{
    workbook.LoadFromFile("SalesData.xlsx");
    AIDocumentProcessor processor = workbook.AI(options);

    string instruction = @"
    In this input sales dataset. Column A is 'Sales Rep', Column B is 'Revenue', Column C is 'Target'.
    Add a Column D with the same style and add a header 'Commission' in D1
    Create a calculation rule for Column D (Commission):
    If Revenue exceeds Target, calculate 15% of Revenue. Otherwise, calculate 5%.
    Apply this formula to the entire data range dynamically.
";

    AIResult result = processor.ExecuteInstruction(
        workbook,
        instruction,
        "Calculated_data.xlsx"
    );
}

Übersicht über die Kern-APIs

• AIOptions: Konfigurationscontainer für den KI-Agenten. Verwenden Sie ihn, um das SpireToken (erforderlich für die Authentifizierung) festzulegen, die TimeoutMs (optional) anzupassen und ein WorkDir für temporäre Dateien anzugeben.
• AIDocumentProcessor: Die KI-Agent-Instanz, die die Dokumentverarbeitung übernimmt. Erhalten Sie sie, indem Sie die .AI()-Erweiterungsmethode für jedes unterstützte Dokumentobjekt (Workbook, Document, Presentation oder PdfDocument) aufrufen.
• AIResult: Das Rückgabeobjekt von ExecuteInstruction. Es enthält den Ausführungsstatus und den Ausgabepfad, sodass Sie den Erfolg überprüfen oder Fehler programmgesteuert behandeln können.

Ergebnis:

In der Ausgabedatei wird Spalte D mit der korrekten Excel-Formel gefüllt: =IF(B2>C2, B2*0.15, B2*0.05)

Почему традиционная автоматизация Excel не справляется

Традиционные методы имеют критические ограничения для современных корпоративных развёртываний.

Метод	Недостатки
VBA	Только для Windows, требует установки Office, медленно работает с большими наборами данных, нет ИИ.
Interop	Подвержен утечкам памяти, небезопасен для серверов, дорогое лицензирование.
Open XML SDK	Низкоуровневый, сложный, не генерирует формулы, нет ИИ.
Spire.XLS	Отлично подходит для создания формул, но не поддерживает ИИ-вывод. Вам приходится вручную прописывать каждую строку IF или VLOOKUP.

Решение? Современный SDK ИИ-агента для .NET, который понимает ваши бизнес-правила на простом английском языке и выполняет их в масштабе.

Представляем Spire.Agent.Office – решение на основе ИИ

Spire.Agent.Office — это продвинутая библиотека автоматизации документов на основе ИИ для .NET, предназначенная для оптимизации обработки Excel, Word, PowerPoint и PDF. Её специализированный модуль Spire.Agent.XLS специализируется на интеллектуальной автоматизации Excel, включая генерацию формул, автоматические вычисления, анализ данных и преобразование электронных таблиц.

В отличие от статических библиотек, Spire.Agent.Office добавляет возможности динамических вычислений — вы описываете, что хотите, а ИИ переводит это в точные формулы Excel и выполняет их.

Как это работает?

Библиотека работает на современном рабочем процессе с поддержкой LLM (большой языковой модели). Вот технический конвейер:

Developer Input (Workbook + Plain-Text Prompt)
         ↓
Spire.Agent.Office (AI Translation Layer)
         ↓
Structured Computation Plan
         ↓
Spire.Office (Execution Engine)
         ↓
Updated Excel File or Data Output

1. Входной слой: Разработчик предоставляет файл .xls или .xlsx, текстовый запрос и SpireToken для аутентификации ИИ.
2. Семантический анализ: ИИ Spire.Agent.Office сканирует метаданные книги и отправляет их вместе с запросом в LLM.
3. Структурированное планирование: ИИ создаёт детерминированный план вычислений — упорядоченный набор операций движка, а не необработанный текст формул.
4. Движок выполнения: Spire.Office выполняет план, записывает формулы непосредственно в ячейки без запуска Excel и принудительно запускает полный пересчёт цепочки зависимостей.
5. Вывод: Обновлённая книга сохраняется на диск или возвращается как MemoryStream для прямых ответов API.

Основные возможности вычислений в Excel

• Автоматически генерировать и добавлять формулы в Excel (функции SUM, AVERAGE, VLOOKUP, IF) с помощью кода или запросов на естественном языке
• Программно запускать полный пересчёт книги/листа
• Автоматизировать пакетные вычисления для нескольких файлов Excel и больших наборов данных
• Очистка данных с помощью ИИ перед вычислениями для обеспечения точных результатов
• Динамическая корректировка формул на основе изменений набора данных
• Экспорт вычисленных файлов Excel в PDF, CSV и другие форматы без проблем

Пошаговое руководство: автоматизация вычислений в Excel с помощью Spire.Agent.Office

Вот ориентированный на разработчика рабочий процесс для динамической автоматизации расчёта комиссии с продаж с использованием этого SDK ИИ-агента для .NET.

Шаг 1: Инициализация ИИ-агента и загрузка документа

В вашем коде вы создадите экземпляр Spire.Agent и загрузите целевую книгу Excel. Агент использует базовый движок Spire.Office для сканирования метаданных книги.

using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;


AIOptions options = new AIOptions();
options.SpireToken = "your_spire_token";

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

workbook.LoadFromFile("SalesData.xlsx");
AIDocumentProcessor processor = workbook.AI(options);

Шаг 2: Определение логики вычислений на естественном языке

Здесь происходит магия ИИ. Вместо того чтобы вручную писать сложный оператор IF для каждой строки, вы отправляете запрос агенту:

string instruction = @"
In this input sales dataset. Column A is 'Sales Rep', Column B is 'Revenue', Column C is 'Target'.
Add a Column D with the same style and set its header as 'Commission' in D1
Create a calculation rule for Column D (Commission):
If Revenue exceeds Target, calculate 15% of Revenue. Otherwise, calculate 5%.
Apply this formula to the entire data range dynamically.
";

Шаг 3: Выполнение плана

Агент создаёт структурированный план вычислений, а не статический текст формул. Spire.Office применяет вычисленные поля непосредственно к ячейкам листа.

AIResult result = processor.ExecuteInstruction(
    workbook,
    instruction,
    "Calculated_data.xlsx"
);

Полный пример кода на C#:

using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;


AIOptions options = new AIOptions();
options.SpireToken = "spireToken";

using (Workbook workbook = new Workbook())
{
    workbook.LoadFromFile("SalesData.xlsx");
    AIDocumentProcessor processor = workbook.AI(options);

    string instruction = @"
    In this input sales dataset. Column A is 'Sales Rep', Column B is 'Revenue', Column C is 'Target'.
    Add a Column D with the same style and add a header 'Commission' in D1
    Create a calculation rule for Column D (Commission):
    If Revenue exceeds Target, calculate 15% of Revenue. Otherwise, calculate 5%.
    Apply this formula to the entire data range dynamically.
";

    AIResult result = processor.ExecuteInstruction(
        workbook,
        instruction,
        "Calculated_data.xlsx"
    );
}

Обзор основных API

• AIOptions: Контейнер конфигурации для ИИ-агента. Используйте его, чтобы задать SpireToken (требуется для аутентификации), настроить TimeoutMs (необязательно) и указать WorkDir для временных файлов.
• AIDocumentProcessor: Экземпляр ИИ-агента, который обрабатывает документы. Получите его, вызвав метод расширения .AI() для любого поддерживаемого объекта документа (Workbook, Document, Presentation или PdfDocument).
• AIResult: Возвращаемый объект из ExecuteInstruction. Он содержит статус выполнения и путь вывода, что позволяет программно проверять успех или обрабатывать ошибки.

Результат:

В выходном файле столбец D будет заполнен правильной формулой Excel: =IF(B2>C2, B2*0.15, B2*0.05)

using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;

// 1. Configuration
string inputFolder = @"C:\reports\inbox";
string outputFolder = @"C:\reports\output";
string spireToken = "your_spire_token";

// Ensure the output directory exists
Directory.CreateDirectory(outputFolder);

// 2. Setup AI Options
AIOptions agentOptions = new AIOptions();
agentOptions.WorkDir = outputFolder; // Sets the working/temp directory
agentOptions.SpireToken = spireToken;

// 3. Define your calculation logic (Natural Language Prompt)
string calculationPrompt = @"Input your calculation logic";

// 4. Loop through all Excel files
foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles(inputFolder, "*.xlsx"))
{
    // Define the output path (keeps the same filename)
    string outputPath = Path.Combine(outputFolder, Path.GetFileName(file));

    // Dispose the workbook after each file to free memory
    using (Workbook workbook = new Workbook())
    {
        // Load the source Excel file
        workbook.LoadFromFile(file);

        // Execute the AI instruction
        AIResult result = workbook.AI(agentOptions).ExecuteInstruction(
            workbook,              // Pass the document instance
            calculationPrompt,     // The prompt
            outputPath,            // Full path to save the processed file
            new string[] { }       // Additional options (empty array)
        );
    }
}

Introducing Spire.Agent.Office – The AI Solution

Spire.Agent.Office is an advanced AI‑driven document automation library for .NET, designed to streamline Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and PDF processing. Its dedicated Spire.Agent.XLS module specializes in intelligent Excel automation, including formula generation, automatic calculation, data analysis, and spreadsheet transformation.

Unlike static libraries, Spire.Agent.Office adds dynamic calculation capabilities – you describe what you want, and the AI translates it into precise Excel formulas and executes them.

How It Works?

The library operates on a modern LLM (Large Language Model) enhanced workflow. Here’s the technical pipeline:

Developer Input (Workbook + Plain-Text Prompt)
         ↓
Spire.Agent.Office (AI Translation Layer)
         ↓
Structured Computation Plan
         ↓
Spire.Office (Execution Engine)
         ↓
Updated Excel File or Data Output

1. Input Layer: The developer supplies a .xls or .xlsx file, a plain-text prompt, and a SpireToken for AI authentication.
2. Semantic Analysis: The Spire.Agent.Office AI scans the workbook metadata and sends it with the prompt to the LLM.
3. Structured Planning: The AI generates a deterministic computation plan—an ordered set of engine operations—rather than raw formula text.
4. Execution Engine: Spire.Office executes the plan, writes formulas directly to cells without launching Excel, and forces a full recalculation of the dependency chain.
5. Output: The updated workbook is saved to disk or returned as a MemoryStream for direct API responses.

Core Excel Calculation Features

• Auto‑generate and add formulas in Excel (SUM, AVERAGE, VLOOKUP, IF functions) via code or natural language prompts
• Force full workbook/worksheet recalculation programmatically
• Automate batch calculation for multiple Excel files and large datasets
• AI‑powered data cleaning before calculation to ensure accurate results
• Dynamic formula adjustment based on dataset changes

Step‑by‑Step: Automate Calculations in Excel with Spire.Agent.Office

Here is a developer-centric workflow to automate a sales commission calculation dynamically using this .NET AI Agent SDK.

Step 1: Initialize the AI Agent and Load the Document

In your code, you will instantiate the Spire.Agent and load your target Excel workbook. The agent uses the underlying Spire.Office engine to scan the workbook's metadata.

using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;


AIOptions options = new AIOptions();
options.SpireToken = "your_spire_token";

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

workbook.LoadFromFile("SalesData.xlsx");
AIDocumentProcessor processor = workbook.AI(options);

Step 2: Define Calculation Logic via Natural Language

Here is where the AI magic happens. Instead of manually writing a complex IF statement for every row, you send a prompt to the Agent:

string instruction = @"
In this input sales dataset. Column A is 'Sales Rep', Column B is 'Revenue', Column C is 'Target'.
Add a Column D with the same style and set its header as 'Commission' in D1
Create a calculation rule for Column D (Commission):
If Revenue exceeds Target, calculate 15% of Revenue. Otherwise, calculate 5%.
Apply this formula to the entire data range dynamically.
";

Step 3: Execute the Plan

The agent produces a structured computation plan rather than static formula text. Spire.Office applies the computed fields directly onto worksheet cells.

AIResult result = processor.ExecuteInstruction(
    workbook,
    instruction,
    "Calculated_data.xlsx"
);

Complete C# Code Example:

using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;


AIOptions options = new AIOptions();
options.SpireToken = "spireToken";

using (Workbook workbook = new Workbook())
{
    workbook.LoadFromFile("SalesData.xlsx");
    AIDocumentProcessor processor = workbook.AI(options);

    string instruction = @"
    In this input sales dataset. Column A is 'Sales Rep', Column B is 'Revenue', Column C is 'Target'.
    Add a Column D with the same style and add a header 'Commission' in D1
    Create a calculation rule for Column D (Commission):
    If Revenue exceeds Target, calculate 15% of Revenue. Otherwise, calculate 5%.
    Apply this formula to the entire data range dynamically.
";

    AIResult result = processor.ExecuteInstruction(
        workbook,
        instruction,
        "Calculated_data.xlsx"
    );
}

Core APIs Overview

• AIOptions: Configuration container for the AI agent. Use it to set the SpireToken (required for authentication), adjust the TimeoutMs (optional), and specify a WorkDir for temporary files.
• AIDocumentProcessor: The AI agent instance that handles document processing. Obtain it by calling the .AI() extension method on any supported document object (Workbook, Document, Presentation, or PdfDocument).
• AIResult: The return object from ExecuteInstruction. It contains the execution status and output path, allowing you to verify success or handle errors programmatically.

Result:

In the output file, column D will populate with the correct Excel formula: =IF(B2>C2, B2*0.15, B2*0.05)

---

Advanced Automation: Batch Processing Hundreds of Files

For recurring monthly reports, wrap the logic in a loop to process an entire folder:

using System.IO;
using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Xls;

// 1. Configuration
string inputFolder = @"C:\reports\inbox";
string outputFolder = @"C:\reports\output";
string spireToken = "your_spire_token";

// Ensure the output directory exists
Directory.CreateDirectory(outputFolder);

// 2. Setup AI Options
AIOptions agentOptions = new AIOptions();
agentOptions.WorkDir = outputFolder; // Sets the working/temp directory
agentOptions.SpireToken = spireToken;

// 3. Define your calculation logic (Natural Language Prompt)
string calculationPrompt = @"Input your calculation logic";

// 4. Loop through all Excel files
foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles(inputFolder, "*.xlsx"))
{
    // Define the output path (keeps the same filename)
    string outputPath = Path.Combine(outputFolder, Path.GetFileName(file));

    // Dispose the workbook after each file to free memory
    using (Workbook workbook = new Workbook())
    {
        // Load the source Excel file
        workbook.LoadFromFile(file);

        // Execute the AI instruction
        AIResult result = workbook.AI(agentOptions).ExecuteInstruction(
            workbook,              // Pass the document instance
            calculationPrompt,     // The prompt
            outputPath,            // Full path to save the processed file
            new string[] { }       // Additional options (empty array)
        );
    }
}

For decades, building document processing features followed a predictable pattern: more complex document logic demanded more code. Common workloads such as extracting data from PDFs, reformatting Word reports, or cleaning Excel exports typically required hundreds of lines of hand-coded logic, regular expressions, and endless exception handling.

That rule is now being fundamentally transformed. .NET AI agent SDKs are changing how enterprises handle documents—not by making C# scripting easier, but by making large parts of it unnecessary.

Meet Spire.Agent.Office SDK — a .NET AI agent built specifically for the Office ecosystem. With it, .NET developers can replace verbose traversal and parsing code with a single natural language instruction. Simply describe your target outcome in plain English, and the agent executes it for you.

The Evolution: From Macros to AI Agents

Document automation has evolved through distinct phases, each bringing developers closer to a true natural-language programming interface.

Phase 1: Recorded Macros and Scripting

Early automation relied on recorded keystrokes and VBA scripts. These solutions were rigid, broke easily when layouts changed, and required specialist knowledge to modify.

Phase 2: Programmatic SDKs

Libraries like Spire.Office for .NET gave developers granular control over DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and PDF formats. While powerful, this approach was code-intensive. A simple task like "extract the total from an invoice" demanded multiple lines of code to handle page traversal, coordinate mapping, and data serialization.

Phase 3: Agentic Task Automation

We are now entering the era of document AI agents. These tools don't just help you find a specific API method; they understand the business intent behind your request. Instead of telling the computer how to find a table in a Word document, you tell it what you want.

---

The Real Cost of Document‑Driven Code in .NET

Traditional document automation in C# places a heavy burden on developers:

• Learning intricate APIs from specialized document libraries
• Manually invoking methods to load files, iterate pages, and parse content
• Bearing complete responsibility for custom error handling logic

The developer drives every step; the library is merely a toolbox of discrete functions.

And How an AI Agent SDK Changes It?

A purpose-built document AI agent SDK changes this dynamic. Instead of coding traversal logic, users define the desired business outcome. With Spire.Agent.Office, you write C# code like this:

// New approach: one natural language instruction
string instruction = "Review this contract for risky clauses and generate a summary.";
AIResult result = processor.ExecuteInstruction(doc, instruction, "summary.docx");

Behind the scenes, the agent autonomously parses layouts, extracts content, executes transformations, validates output, and adapts to unexpected structures—all without explicit coding.

✅ The core insight: Spire.Agent.Office has "action ability" within the document domain. It does not merely suggest code snippets—it directly manipulates files, reads content, applies formatting rules, and verifies results, all controlled through natural language commands.

This transforms the library from a coding toolkit into an autonomous operator that completes end-to-end document engineering tasks on your behalf—while still exposing a familiar C# API surface for .NET developers.

Spire.Agent.Office SDK Architecture and Core APIs

The architecture is a hybrid:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  [1]  AI Understanding Layer (configurable LLM)               │
│       • Interprets natural language instructions              │
│       • Identifies business intent                            │
│       • Plans the necessary actions                           │
└─────────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────┘
                              │
                              ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  [2]  Deterministic Document Engine (Spire.Office APIs)        │
│       • Executes planned actions with precision               │
│       • Guarantees accurate file manipulation                 │
│       • Ensures pixel-perfect layouts and correct formats     │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Key SDK components for .NET developers:

• AIOptions – Configuration class for setting your AI provider (OpenAI, Azure, local models, etc.) and API keys.
• AIDocumentProcessor – The main entry point, obtained by calling .AI(options) on a document object (e.g., PdfDocument, WordDocument, etc.).
• ExecuteInstruction() – The core method that accepts a natural language instruction and an optional output path, returning an AIResult containing status, messages, and generated file paths.

All processing runs locally within your infrastructure—no document content is sent to external servers, preserving data security and compliance—and you can swap the underlying LLM via the AIOptions.

A Practical Example: Extracting Invoice Data from PDF

The Challenge: Extracting structured data from PDF invoices is one of the most time-consuming tasks for developers.

Traditional Approach

The traditional programmatic approach requires writing code to:

• Load the PDF and iterate through every page
• Identify text regions and table boundaries
• Apply regular expressions or positional coordinates
• Handle variations across dozens of vendor layouts
• Export the final structured data to an Excel sheet

This workflow typically demands dozens of lines of C# code, filled with brittle positional logic and edge-case exception handling.

The Spire.Agent.Office Approach

With Spire.Agent.Office, an AI agent SDK built on the mature Spire.Office document engine, the same task is reduced to a single natural language instruction wrapped in minimal boilerplate:

using Spire.Agent.Office.AI;
using Spire.Agent.Office.Extensions;
using Spire.Pdf;

AIOptions options = new AIOptions();
options.SpireToken = "your-token";

using (PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument())
{
    pdf.LoadFromFile("Invoice Details.pdf");
    AIDocumentProcessor processor = pdf.AI(options);

    string instruction = "From this invoice table, extract only the rows where the Total is greater than $50. " +
                         "Include all 7 columns (Item #, Description, Qty, Unit Price, Discount, Price) and export to an Excel workbook.";

    AIResult result = processor.ExecuteInstruction(
        pdf,
        instruction,
        "extracted_invoice_data.xlsx"
    );
}

About 10 lines of supporting code + 1 natural language instruction. You can filter and export target invoice rows into an Excel file.

Result Preview:

The Workflow Behind It

You no longer need to understand document object models, page coordinates, or API signatures. You simply describe what you want in the instruction string.

And when business rules evolve, you update the instruction—not the codebase. This dramatically reduces maintenance overhead and accelerates response times to business needs.

---

Beyond PDF: Four Specialized AI Agent Modules

The agent’s capabilities extend far beyond PDF processing. Spire.Agent.Office comprises four specialized modules, each tailored to a core office document format, all controllable via natural language instructions:

Module	Document Type	Natural Language Capabilities
Spire.Agent.Doc	Word	Report generation, contract review, content refinement, format standardization
Spire.Agent.XLS	Excel	Automated reporting, data cleaning, data importing, multi-format export
Spire.Agent.Presentation	PowerPoint	Automated slide generation, content updates, media embedding, data visualization
Spire.Agent.PDF	PDF	Merge/split operations, watermarking, data extraction, conversion to Word/Excel

All modules share the same pattern: configure AIOptions, then make a single ExecuteInstruction call.

---

Why This Matters for .NET Developers

This evolution does not spell the end for automation engineers or .NET developers. Rather, it redefines their daily work.

• Less time on low‑level file I/O, coordinate mapping, and exception‑handling boilerplate.
• More time on workflow design, validation rules, and integrating the agent into larger business processes.
• Easier maintenance: when rules change, you update the instruction, not the codebase. This reduces regression risk and speeds up response to business needs.

Developers shift from being hands-on scripters to workflow orchestrators. They define high-level objectives, supervise the agent’s output, and make strategic decisions about what to accept, refine, or reject.

---

Conclusion

In short, Spire.Agent.Office brings AI capabilities directly into your document workflows. Instead of writing hundreds of lines of complex code to process Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files, you simply tell the agent what you need in natural language.

It handles the heavy‑duty work including data extraction, batch report generation and slide formatting, while you retain full control of security and accuracy. The result is faster development, easier maintenance, and more time to focus on business outcomes, not coding details.

Long‑form PDF files such as e‑books, technical manuals, reports and whitepapers can become difficult to navigate. Scrolling through hundreds of pages to find specific chapters wastes time for you and your readers. That is exactly why PDF bookmarks matter.

PDF bookmarks act as interactive clickable navigation points. They let users jump instantly to chapters, sections, figures, or important pages without endless scrolling. Whether you work with business reports, academic papers, or technical documentation, knowing how to create bookmarks in PDF will greatly improve your document experience.

In this article, we will cover manual workflows for regular users and code‑based approaches for developers to add PDF bookmarks effectively.

What Exactly Are PDF Bookmarks?

PDF bookmarks (also called outlines) are an interactive outline tree stored within the PDF file itself. Each bookmark links to a target page, position, or view setting. Bookmarks support hierarchical nesting, allowing main chapters to contain multiple sub-section child bookmarks.

Benefits of PDF bookmarks:

• Fast one‑click navigation across large documents
• Keep document structure visible in sidebar panel
• Support nested multi‑level outlines for complex content
• Work across most PDF readers on desktop and mobile
• No extra external files required; all data lives inside the PDF

Manually Create PDF Bookmarks in Adobe Acrobat Pro

Adobe Acrobat Pro is the industry standard for PDF editing and offers robust bookmarking features.

How to Add Bookmarks in Adobe:

1. Open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
2. Display the Bookmarks panel by clicking the “Bookmark” icon (looks like a ribbon) on the right-hand side.
3. Navigate to the page or section you want to bookmark.
4. Create a new bookmark by clicking the “New Bookmark” icon (page with a plus sign) at the top of the panel.
5. Type a clear, descriptive name for the bookmark and press Enter.

Pro Tip for Acrobat Users:

If you highlight text before creating a bookmark, Acrobat will automatically use the highlighted words as the bookmark title. This saves time and ensures consistency with your document’s headings.

While bookmarks serve as a hidden navigation backbone for the sidebar, generating a visible Table of Contents allows you to extract your bookmark titles and corresponding page numbers into a dedicated in-text page.

        {
            // Create a PdfDocument object
            PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();

            // Load the source PDF file
            pdf.LoadFromFile("template.pdf");

            // Get the first page
            PdfPageBase page1 = pdf.Pages[0];

            // Add a parent bookmark at (290, 70)
            PdfBookmark execSummary = pdf.Bookmarks.Add("Executive Summary");
            PdfDestination dest1 = new PdfDestination(page1, new PointF(290, 70));
            execSummary.Action = new PdfGoToAction(dest1);
            execSummary.Color = new PdfRGBColor(Color.Black);
            execSummary.DisplayStyle = PdfTextStyle.Bold;

            // Adds two child bookmarks at specified location
            PdfBookmark problem = execSummary.Add("The Problem");
            PdfDestination destProb = new PdfDestination(page1, new PointF(70, 465));
            problem.Action = new PdfGoToAction(destProb);
            problem.Color = new PdfRGBColor(Color.Brown);
            problem.DisplayStyle = PdfTextStyle.Italic;

            PdfBookmark solution = execSummary.Add("The Solution");
            PdfDestination destSol = new PdfDestination(page1, new PointF(345, 480));
            solution.Action = new PdfGoToAction(destSol);
            solution.Color = new PdfRGBColor(Color.Brown);
            solution.DisplayStyle = PdfTextStyle.Italic;

            // Get the second page
            PdfPageBase page2 = pdf.Pages[1];

            // Add a parent bookmark at (70, 75)
            PdfBookmark deliverables = pdf.Bookmarks.Add("Project Deliverables");
            PdfDestination dest2 = new PdfDestination(page2, new PointF(60, 75));
            deliverables.Action = new PdfGoToAction(dest2);
            deliverables.Color = new PdfRGBColor(Color.Black);
            deliverables.DisplayStyle = PdfTextStyle.Bold;

            // Save the updated document
            pdf.SaveToFile("AddPdfBookmarks.pdf");
            pdf.Dispose();
        }
    }
}

Generate PDF Bookmarks Directly from Microsoft Word

If you’re creating a document from scratch, you can generate bookmarks automatically during the PDF export process.

How it Works

When Word generates a PDF, it analyzes your document's style definitions. It maps the built-in Heading Styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3) to hierarchical bookmarks:

• Heading 1 → Top-level (Level 1) bookmarks.
• Heading 2 → Nested child (Level 2) bookmarks.
• Heading 3 → Grandchild (Level 3) bookmarks.

Steps:

• Format your Word content with built‑in heading styles.
• Go to “File > Save As” and select PDF.
• Before saving, click “Options” and check “Create bookmarks using headings”.

• Save the file. Your exported PDF will contain auto‑generated bookmarks mapped to your Word headings.

---

Conclusion

PDF bookmarks convert cumbersome documents into polished, easily navigable resources. Choose the approach that fits your workflow:

• Adobe Acrobat Pro for manual, visual control
• Programmatic approaches (like Free Spire.PDF for .NET) for automation and batch processing
• Microsoft Word for automatic generation during export

Whichever you select, you’ll significantly enhance document usability and reader satisfaction. Well-structured bookmarks signal professionalism and attention to detail. Invest the time to add them, and your audience will appreciate the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Are bookmarks the same as hyperlinks?

A: No. Hyperlinks in PDF are typically embedded directly within the text body (inline) and are often underlined. Bookmarks reside in a dedicated side-panel outline tree. While both navigate the user, bookmarks provide a persistent structural map, whereas hyperlinks offer contextual inline jumps.

Q: Do bookmarks work on all PDF readers?

A: Absolutely. PDF bookmarks are a standard PDF feature supported by all major readers, including Adobe Acrobat, Foxit, Preview (Mac), and mobile PDF viewers.

Q: Do bookmarks increase the file size of my PDF significantly?

A: No. Bookmarks are extremely lightweight. They are essentially a small text-based index containing titles, page pointers, and action attributes. Even with thousands of nested entries, the impact on overall file size is negligible compared to images or embedded fonts.

Q: Can I edit or delete existing bookmarks from a PDF without Adobe Acrobat?

A: Yes. The Free Spire.PDF library allows you to access the pdf.Bookmarks collection. You can call bookmarks.RemoveAt(index) or bookmarks.Clear() to delete them programmatically without purchasing expensive desktop software.

What is a Slicer in Excel?

A slicer is a visual filtering tool made up of clickable buttons that correspond to unique values in a data column. Instead of hiding your filter options inside drop-down menus, slicers display them directly on your worksheet, making your current filter state visible at a glance.

Think of slicers as an intuitive control panel for your data. Click a button, and your table, PivotTable, or chart updates instantly. Selected buttons remain highlighted, so you and any other user can always see which filters are active.

---

Why Slicers Outperform Traditional Filters

Feature	Traditional Filters	Slicers
Visibility	Filter state is hidden in drop-down menus	Selected filters are always visible
Ease of use	Requires multiple clicks to navigate menu layers	One-click button selection for instant filtering
Multi-select	Clunky and unintuitive	Hold Ctrl or use Multi-Select toggle
Multiple data sources	Tied to one table	Can control multiple PivotTables and charts
Dashboard-friendly	Not designed for dashboards	Perfect for interactive dashboards

Standard filters force you to click a tiny arrow, uncheck “Select All,” scroll through a long list, and click OK. The moment you click away, your filtering choices disappear from view, leaving you guessing what’s currently applied. Excel slicer tool solves this problem completely by making every filter option a clear, clickable button that sits directly on your worksheet.

---

Prerequisites Before Inserting Slicers

Before adding slicers in Excel, make sure your data meets these requirements:

• Formatted as Excel Table or PivotTable: Slicers do not work with unformatted raw cell ranges.
• Supported Excel version: Slicers are available in Excel 2013 and later for Windows, and Excel 2016 and later for Mac.
• No blank rows or columns: Empty rows or columns within your dataset can cause Excel to misinterpret the full data range.
• Clean, structured data: Ensure every column has a unique, descriptive header and consistent data formatting.

To convert a range to a table, select your data and press "Ctrl + T", then click OK.

---

How to Add Slicers in Excel: Two Methods

The process for inserting slicers depends on whether you’re working with a regular Excel Table or a PivotTable. We’ll cover both.

Method 1: Insert Slicers in an Excel Table

• Click anywhere inside your Excel table.
• Go to the Table Design tab on the ribbon.
• Click the Insert Slicer button in the Tools group.

• In the pop-up dialog box, check the boxes for the columns you want to use as slicers (e.g., Region, Product, Category).
• Click OK.

Excel will place slicer objects directly on your worksheet. Each slicer displays buttons for all unique items in its respective field. Click any button inside a slicer to filter the table instantly.

Method 2: Insert Slicers in a PivotTable

• Click any cell inside your pivot table.
• Navigate to the PivotTable Analyze tab (or Analyze tab, depending on your version).
• Click Insert Slicer in the Filter group.

• In the Insert Slicers dialog box, check the boxes for the fields you want to filter by (e.g., Product).
• Click OK.

The slicers appear on your sheet and dynamically update the PivotTable results. You can move, resize, and format them to match your dashboard layout.

---

Advanced: Programmatically Create Slicers in Excel in C#

While the manual methods are perfect for one‑off tasks, you may need to add slicers to hundreds of Excel files programmatically. That’s where Free Spire.XLS for .NET comes in. This free library allows you to create, read, and modify Excel files without Microsoft Office installed—and it fully supports inserting slicers into Excel tables.

C# Code: Adding Slicers to an Excel Table

Below is a complete C# example that loads an existing Excel file, retrieves the first table in the first worksheet, and inserts two slicers for two different columns. It then sets a name and a built‑in style for each slicer, and saves the result as a new .xlsx file.

using Spire.Xls;
using Spire.Xls.Core;

namespace AddSlicerToTable
{
    internal class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Load an Excel file
            Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
            workbook.LoadFromFile("sampleData.xlsx");

            // Get the first worksheet
            Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];

            // Get the first table in the worksheet
            IListObject table = worksheet.ListObjects[0];

            // Add 2 slicers
            // Parameters: table, location (cell reference), column index (0‑based)
            int slicer1 = worksheet.Slicers.Add(table, "G3", 1);
            int slicer2 = worksheet.Slicers.Add(table, "H5", 2);

            // Set name and style for the slicer
            worksheet.Slicers[slicer1].Name = "Region";
            worksheet.Slicers[slicer1].StyleType = SlicerStyleType.SlicerStyleLight1;
            worksheet.Slicers[slicer2].Name = "Category";
            worksheet.Slicers[slicer2].StyleType = SlicerStyleType.SlicerStyleDark1;

            // Save the result file
            workbook.SaveToFile("AddSlicers.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2016);
            workbook.Dispose();
        }
    }
}

How the Slicer API Works

The core method is Slicers.Add() with the following signature:

int Add(IListObject table, string destCellName, int index);

• table: The source IListObject (Excel Table) the slicer is bound to
• destCellName: Top-left cell address where the slicer is placed (e.g., "G3")
• index: 0-based index of the column within the table to use as filter values.

Note: Slicers require a structured Excel Table object. Always create and configure your Excel table first before calling the slicer insertion API.

Result:

Additional Tips for Programmatic Slicer Insertion

• Multiple tables: If your worksheet has more than one table, you can access them via worksheet.ListObjects[index].
• PivotTable slicers: Free Spire.XLS also supports adding slicers to PivotTables using worksheet.Slicers.Add(IPivotTable, string, int).
• Saving formats: Use ExcelVersion.Version2013 or Version2016 to ensure slicers are preserved correctly.
• Performance: When processing multiple files, create a new Workbook instance for each file and call Dispose() promptly after processing to avoid memory leaks.

---

How to Use Excel Slicers Once They’re Inserted

Using slicers is remarkably simple:

• Single selection: Click any button to filter your data to that value
• Multiple selection: Hold Ctrl as you click multiple buttons, or click the Multi-Select toggle at the top of the slicer panel
• Clear a filter: Click the Clear Filter button (the funnel icon with an X) in the top-right corner of the slicer

---

Best Practices for Excel Slicers

1. Keep slicers grouped and aligned at the top or side of your dashboard.
2. Use descriptive captions so viewers understand what each slicer filters.
3. Limit the number of slicers — 3–5 usually gives enough interactivity without clutter.
4. Name your slicers in the Selection Pane (Alt + F10) for easier management.
5. Lock slicer positions (right-click → Size and Properties → Properties → check “Don’t move or size with cells”) so they stay put when users scroll.
6. For automation, always target ExcelVersion.Version2016 or higher to ensure slicer compatibility.

---

Final Thoughts

Adding slicers in Excel is one of the highest-impact skills for anyone building reports or dashboards. For everyday users, they make filtering intuitive, transparent, and dashboard-ready, eliminating the friction of nested drop-down menus. For developers, programmatic slicer APIs enable scalable, automated generation of interactive workbooks at enterprise scale.

Don’t settle for static spreadsheets that confuse your audience. Start using Excel slicers today to unlock the full potential of your data—turning ordinary tables into powerful, interactive decision-making tools that impress and inform.
