Use the workbench inside Excel

The browser version works immediately with paste or CSV files. The Office add-in is a prototype requiring sideloading; it is not in Microsoft Marketplace. Excel desktop/web integration must be tested in your own Office host.

Download the Excel manifest

Excel on the web

  1. Ensure rrc.levitizedlife.com is published and opens over HTTPS. The manifest points there.
  2. Open a disposable workbook in Excel on the web.
  3. Choose Home → Add-ins → More Settings → Upload My Add-in, select the downloaded manifest.xml, then upload.
  4. Open the task pane, select a header row plus data, and click Read Excel selection. Features 1 and 2 accept arbitrary column names through their mapping previews. Feature 2 can read separate left and right selections; other modules use their documented schemas.
  5. Run an analysis. Write results to new Excel sheet creates a separate sheet with the assumptions, parameters, and output; it does not replace input cells.

If the upload option is unavailable, your Office version or organization policy may disable sideloading. The standalone website remains available.

Windows desktop

Use Microsoft’s shared-folder catalog testing procedure or non-local-server debugging procedure. These are development installation methods, not deployment to your employer’s organization.

Data formatting

Privacy and permissions

The add-in requests ReadWriteDocument because it reads your selection and creates result sheets. It performs those actions only on button clicks. This app has no data backend, sign-in, workbook upload, or browser persistence. Inputs remain in memory until the tab closes or reloads. Microsoft Office.js is requested from its official CDN in add-in mode. Cloudflare hosting adds performance and security telemetry. The workbench does not send entered table data to those services.

Exports can contain the data you entered and calculated results. Review your organization’s rules before handling employer/client information in any personal tool.

What is verified

Pure calculation and parser tests are supplied in the repository. Actual Excel-host sideloading and permission behavior require a supported Excel environment and have not been certified. No automated statutory deadline source or official regulatory capital formula is included.
