That's fair, we don't support the functions tied to custom DLL loading xD
To be more precise, we support the entire "modern" function library in excel, that can be implemented without dependencies on Microsoft products/services. So if it can run locally, and isn't platform dependent, we run it. We, for example, support https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/functions/filterxm... , so in some ways, we support more of excel than excel on non-windows platforms :P
We also support what-if scenarios, arrays, spills, cycles, all the non-cloud / non-DLL excel functions, data tables, conditional formatting, charts (though we don't allow creating / editing at the moment, that's coming very soon, there's a lot of configuration surface in those things, and we want the experience to be really good), etc. If you haven't tried it, maybe take it for a spin, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with how much functionality we have.
Our biggest deficiency right now (in my opinion) is pivot tables, we don't let you create / edit / recalc them (though you can still build formulas on them). Our engine supports them, but we're still doing a bunch of testing on it to make sure it's rock solid before we turn them on for people.
- We'll be putting out more content showing off Nobie. Too many screenshots felt distracting for the launch page.
- There's no GUI for it at the moment, but you can programmatically load data into Nobie. If you have access to a data store, and you use LLM tools, you can just tell it to load the data in, and it'll work. The target market is all spreadsheet users, so we've definitely put thought into this exact problem.
So LLM retrieves data, puts it in the table (statically, as I understand), I perform some computations in the table and create a pivot table in another sheet. Next month comes, and I want to refresh the report. However, there's no refresh button, so I need to spend time rewriting the query and tokens to retrieve data every month?
- Today, you'd likely have the LLM write a script against the CLI, that you'd run whenever you want to refresh (assuming the query is fixed, given your example)
- Nobie will continue getting more customizable and programmable. You can see a hint of what's to come with our IDE inspired triple pane support with draggable UI elements. We'll get to a point in the near future where an LLM (or a developer/company) will make you the plugin and UI you want directly in Nobie, and you click a button to sync from your data source (or bind a to a key chord)
I linked in this thread, and Matt replied above in this thread, but we charge companies making >$100M in revenue for using Nobie to provide a service to users, or for using it to help train models.
