Definitely. I’ve found Cursor + Grok to be the best budget models for this type of tool use, although I’ve yet to try out the latest Anthropic ones.

You can go “here’s a spreadsheet of some data, do a thing to it” and it’ll go through, have it plan out the type of calculations you want to do, and it’ll write you a program to parse your sheet, calculate what you want, then output an result sheet.

The key to good results with minimal effort seems to be the planning modes to me, combined with the /goal command. A little bit of validation before implementation goes a long way.
