I got tired of spending 2 hours on Excel reports — so I built something

Every week, same routine.

Open Excel → clean the data → build charts →
write a summary → export PDF → send to client.

2+ hours. Every single week.

I'm a data analyst in Canada and I got tired of it.

So I spent my evenings building Sheetly — a tool
that turns any Excel or CSV file into a
professional client report in 30 seconds.

The feature I'm most proud of: you can ask
questions about your data in plain English.

→ "Which month performed best?"
→ "Why did sales drop in March?"

Instant answers. No formulas. No pivot tables.

It's still in beta — completely free to try.

Would love feedback from this community!

Hey everyone! 👋

Happy to answer any questions about how
Sheetly works under the hood.

A few things I learned building this:

→ The Q&A feature was the hardest to get right
— making AI understand messy Excel data
in plain language took many iterations

→ The biggest surprise: freelancers use it
more than I expected for client reporting

Still very early — this is my first SaaS
and I built it completely alone during
evenings and weekends 🙂

Honest feedback welcome — good or bad!
