Excel Editor

Open a .xlsx / .xlsm workbook, edit cells in a grid, and save changes back into the same file — applied through Excel on your machine, so macros, formulas, and formatting are kept. Requires the local helper (tools/excel-helper).

Looking for the local Excel helper…

Start the helper

On your Windows machine (with Python 3.10+ and Microsoft Excel), clone the repo and run the setup script in a terminal. It makes a virtualenv, installs the dependencies, and starts the helper:

git clone https://github.com/jgpge/pa-location.git
cd pa-location
.\tools\excel-helper\setup.ps1

It prints a pairing token and listens on http://127.0.0.1:7321. Your file never leaves your machine — the web app only sends cell-change instructions; Excel opens the file, applies them, and saves it in place.
