Upload Excel and Auto-import

To upload an Excel file within the Univer AI chat interface, follow these steps:

  1. Click the “+” button: Located at the bottom left corner of the chat input box, clicking this icon will open the upload menu.
  2. Select File: Choose the Excel or CSV file from your local computer.
  3. Auto-parsing: The system automatically parses the file, highlights its content, and creates a Univer Sheet displayed in the chat window.

Univer Sheet Binding with Current Session

Once an Excel file is uploaded and parsed into a Univer Sheet, the sheet becomes exclusively bound to your current chat session:

  • Single File, Multiple Uses: You can repeatedly analyze the data without needing to upload again within the same session.
  • Independent Session Space: When creating a new session, you can upload new files or continue working with previously uploaded ones.
  • Persistent Records: As long as the session isn’t deleted, the Univer Sheet content remains available, allowing you to revisit and re-analyze your data anytime.
