目前学术界对于 Spreadsheet 的评估已从spreadsheetbench这类的简单的单元格修改,演进到finch这类的复杂的Agent操作:
- SpreadsheetBench (2024):确立了基于真实 Excel 论坛问题的评估框架,强调了 Cell-Level 和 Sheet-Level 的操作。
- Finch (2025):专注于金融 Agent,提出金融知识是正确操作 Excel 的前提。
- SheetCopilot (2024):探索了 LLM 通过软件控制指令(VBA/Python)实现表格自动化的可能性。
- Data-Centric Benchmarks (2025):讨论了处理含有海量公式和非标准结构表格时的鲁棒性挑战。
spreadsheetBench从excel论坛获取真实用户数据,考虑到excel论坛更多针对的是excel小白,其中获取的数据主要是对于某个函数的用法或某个excel操作tab用法的答疑,对于大模型学习excel基本操作指令有帮助,但是对于在真实的业务场景中落地还有比较远的距离。
考虑到豆包规划的excel agent的进度:Q1,基础能力,Q2,做场景化(财务、HR场景等),Q3,打通字节生态,Q4,企业级落地。或许目前已经到了要准备更复杂的业务场景的数据集的时候。
大模型真实使用统计:参考 25Q4 字节豆包 的统计数据(专家口径),Excel 相关需求分布如下,这里的分母是在豆包中产生了excel工具调用的总人数,分子是前述总人数中prompt中按意图归类到每一类的实际人数:
| 一级分类 | 占比 | 二级分类 / 具体描述 | 细分占比 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 专业业务分析 | 30% | 报表编制:按行业规则生成报表、成本分摊、高阶动态函数 | 12% |
| 业务数据深度分析:挖掘留存/趋势,依赖数据透视表支持决策 | 10% | ||
| 行业专属建模:定制化规则模型,依托 VBA 高阶功能 | 8% | ||
| 基础数据处理 | 35% | 录入与整理:客户名单、员工信息、快速编辑筛选 | 15% |
| 简单计算:完整数据汇总、条件统筹(SUM/COUNT) | 12% | ||
| 数据清洗:非结构化数据拆分(姓名、手机号)、剔除异常值 | 8% | ||
| 协同管理 | 20% | 团队共享维护项目排期、部门预算 | 8% |
| 权限管理与数据安全 | 7% | ||
| 任务分配与进度追踪 | 5% | ||
| 可视化呈现 | 15% | 基础图表制作:折线图、柱状图、饼图 | 9% |
| 整合多维数据,制作静态仪表盘 | 6% |
行业需求结构近似:由于办公软件(如 WPS/Office)的行业 DAU 难以获取,我们通过服务器采购量作为近似指标(逻辑:员工总数与算力基础设施正相关)。根据我的记忆(需要补充数据),大致上是互联网占40%,政府占10+%,金融占10+%,医疗、教育各占5-10%,能源交通等央国企行业每个占小个位数百分点。
考虑到个人背景和数据可得性,先选取金融行业作为展开讨论的场景。对于金融行业,有两种获取真实数据的方式,一是真实的查询需求的采样,比如找alpha派、同花顺、wind统计其ai对话框中出现的用户查询,二是找一个真实用户,观察目前花时间最多的场景,通过某种方式构建(有一些没有被好好满足的需求,可能真实的查询中并不覆盖,因为效果太差,用户反而没有怎么问,这些也是值得被关注的)。
考虑到数据可得性,先选择后者,brainstorm了一些场景之后,选择“盈利预测模型调整”这一场景。完整的需求brainstorm见notion(未整理):https://www.notion.so/2026-1-ExcelBench-2ef67037b9a1808eaca9c5d51d10fa6d?source=copy_link
目前我们的 Dataset 聚焦于以下任务:
-
假设调整:根据自然语言,调整excel中的单元格值或公式,可能涉及到跨子表的勾稽关系。
-
未来扩展:
- 量价拆分:在收入表中新增产品线,属于行列级扩展(Row/Column Expansion),可能涉及新建子表等表单级操作(Sheet-Level Manipulation)。
- 三表勾稽展期:财报年度平移,需要获取数据库数据,以及自动更新公式,配平等,属于综合任务。
我们从中金点睛获取原始模型(总共约有700家公司的模型可获取)和研报,然后由专家手写产生instruction。
挑选模型时,我们按市值降序选取的各个一级行业的代表性公司样本,按市值降序是考虑从中金点睛获取模型和研报时的可得性。
在处理过程中我们发现了以下挑战:
-
使用大模型自动化构建Intruction会硬编码单元格数值变化,而非假设和公式:
为了减少人工标注量,提升构建数据的效率,我们尝试过直接将两个版本的模型和研报扔给大模型,让它对比两版模型并描述差异、写出instruction。
但发现 AI 容易陷入“把A12单元格值从10改为20”这种非本质的复述,难以还原分析师的“业务调参逻辑”,比如把金价的预测增速从+5%调整为+10%,这可能是由于输入进大模型中的excel格式没能保留单元格中的公式等信息。
最终我们放弃了“让模型反向描述修改”的方案。
-
缺乏外部插件,难以覆盖所有变动的单元格,且存在数据固化问题:
对比一家公司前后两个季度的盈利预测,可能会产生几十个、几百个的单元格差异,其中有一些是分析师手动调整导致的,有一些是由配平插件计算产生的。
由于缺乏金融插件的配平功能,Agent 很难仅凭研报就完美还原包含现金流、长短债在内的全套利润预测。这里最好是使模型支持调用外部的金融excel配平插件工具。
另外,某些插件的某些函数依赖于时间,比如市值、PE 等指标随时间动态变化,比如模型正确地调用了TODAY()函数,但如果Ground Truth答案没有再次调用TODAY()更新,可能导致错误的评估结果。
-
以人类习惯的方式写instruction会面临答案不唯一的问题:
分析师实际调整盈利预测时,prompt会写得比较定性和简单,比如“把A业务增速下调5pct,最终收入增速比上个季度慢一些但不会太多,比如在+10-15%区间,利润增速比收入增速略快一些”,即使是有研报作为参考,但研报中的文字描述往往也不会事无巨细地写出所有的假设(单价、销量、财务费用),
这是由于实际上对于一家公司的经营情况,也只能把握一个大概,不能精确预测,在excel中调模型时,可能存在多个正确答案,满足分析师的prompt的需求,同样是降低了收入增速,有可能一些人会把毛利率调高一些以达到最终对利润增速的要求,一些人可能会把费用调低一些以达到对利润增速的要求。
如果考虑最终实际用户会输入这样的prompt,那么我们构建prompt时也需要对齐这样简洁的描述,过程中可能需要一些额外的流程,将简洁的prompt变成数据集里的精细的instruction,或者是,我们构建的数据集的eval方式需要从精确地对比单元格值变为基于量表的定性判断(比如收入增速满足prompt要求拿10分,利润增速满足要求拿5分,etc)。
本基准完全遵循 SpreadsheetBench 的评估范式,确保评估的客观性:
-
执行机制:Agent 获取
spreadsheet_path和instruction,输出 Python 代码执行操作。 -
比对方式:
- 精确比对 (Cell-Level):直接比对修改后单元格的 数值。
- 位置校验:确保修改发生在
answer_position定义的逻辑范围内。
-
LLM-as-a-judge (辅助):针对涉及模糊指令的情况,通过定制 Rubrics 评估 Agent 生成的 Excel 是否达成了业务目标:
- 维度 A:核心假设调整是否符合研报大意?
- 维度 B:修改后,三表(资产负债、利润、现金流)是否依然配平?
- 维度 C:公式引用是否依然保持动态联动,而非被 Agent 硬编码(Hard-coded)为死数?

Financial spreadsheet benchmarking is a critical application area for Large Language Models (LLMs) where models need to understand, manipulate, and generate Excel spreadsheets containing complex financial data and formulas. This repository provides a comprehensive evaluation framework for testing LLM capabilities on financial spreadsheet tasks.
FinExcelBench evaluates LLM performance on financial spreadsheet manipulation tasks, including:
- Reading and parsing financial data from Excel files
- Performing calculations and data transformations
- Generating financial reports and summaries
- Handling complex formulas and cell references
- Working with multi-sheet workbooks
This benchmark uses the fin_data dataset containing financial data for three companies:
- 601138 (工业富联 - Foxconn Industrial Internet)
- 601899 (紫金矿业 - Zijin Mining)
- 688111 (金山办公 - Kingsoft Office)
Each company has 3 test cases (test_case_idx: 1, 2, 3) with different financial analysis requirements.
Dataset location: data/fin_data/dataset_fin.json
- Kimi (kimi-latest) - Moonshot AI's conversational model
- Qwen (qwen-turbo, qwen3-max) - Alibaba Cloud's Qwen models
- qwen-turbo: Optimized for speed and cost
- qwen3-max: Latest generation with enhanced capabilities
The evaluation follows a complete pipeline:
-
Inference: Generate Python code solutions using LLMs
- Input: Dataset with spreadsheet tasks
- Output: Conversational records with code solutions
-
Code Execution: Execute generated code to produce output spreadsheets
- Input: Generated Python code
- Output: Excel (.xlsx) files with results
-
Evaluation: Compare generated spreadsheets with ground truth
- Input: Generated .xlsx files + Ground truth .xlsx files
- Output: Accuracy metrics and detailed comparisons
| Model | Total Tasks | Passed | Failed | Success Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kimi (kimi-latest) | 9 | 0 | 9 | 0.0% |
| Qwen (qwen-turbo) | 9 | 0 | 9 | 0.0% |
| Qwen (qwen3-max) | 9 | 0 | 9 | 0.0% |
Both models struggled with financial spreadsheet manipulation tasks, particularly:
- Complex formula generation and cell references
- Financial calculations requiring domain knowledge
- Data transformation across multiple sheets
- Maintaining data consistency and accuracy
