Data analysis
Assistants and spreadsheet copilots that analyse your data by writing and running code for you, the models behind them, and data agents and notebook tools you can run yourself.
Models are ranked by SpreadsheetBench 2 (models in SWE-agent scaffold). Tools with their own result on SpreadsheetBench (V1 full, 912 tasks) or SpreadsheetBench 2 (products and agents) are ranked by it (each board ranks one kind of product); other tools inherit the tier of the best model they offer.

Quality vs. setup
The same tools as the map, placed by how good the results can be (up) and how much setup they take (right). Top-left is the easiest way to top quality; further right buys control, privacy or price at the cost of setup. Models are left out: you reach them through these tools.

Benchmarks used
- SpreadsheetBench 2 (models in SWE-agent scaffold) by SpreadsheetBench team (Renmin University of China, Aptura.AI, AfterQuery, Shortcut.AI) (automated tests, Overall accuracy on 321 end-to-end business spreadsheet tasks (financial modeling, templates, debugging, visualization)) · snapshot 19 Oct 2026Model rows of https://spreadsheetbench.github.io/data/leaderboard-v2-full.json (unchanged 2026-10-19): 8 models run by the authors in the same SWE-agent scaffold, all dated 2026-03-26 (the paper's runs; no model row added in the seven months since, although the product side of the board and the V1 boards keep receiving weekly submissions); the 3 product rows are in spreadsheetbench-2-tools. Visualization tasks are scored by a VLM judge against assertion checklists. Only Gemini 3.1 Pro is a current version of a tracked family; the leader (Claude Opus 4.6) is an older version, so the board's top entry is untracked and current models rank against it. Shortcut.AI is one of the V2 authors (it has no V2 row). No other public board ranks current frontier models on spreadsheet work (DABstep and Spider 2.0 rank self-run research and data agents). Re-checked 2026-10-19: leaderboard-v2-full.json unchanged (11 rows; model rows still dated 2026-03-26); site repository last commit 2026-10-11. Gemini 3.1 Pro remains the only current tracked frontier version listed.

Newest entry 2026-08-30 (Catalyst); submissions are processed weekly and the site repository was last updated 2026-10-11. Unverified rows (Copilot in Excel Agent Mode, ChatGPT Agent, Claude Files Opus 4.1, o3; dated 2025-07 to 2025-09) were evaluated by third parties such as OpenAI and Microsoft; verified rows are run by the board through vendor APIs. Tracked: Gemini in Google Sheets, Shortcut.ai, Copilot in Excel, ChatGPT Agent, Claude Files, WPS AI.
