Q&A on Any Spreadsheet Requires Interpreting Its Grid Structure

arXiv · Artificial Intelligence · article · Sep 17, 2026 · UTC

Semantic cell annotation improves chunking interpretability for spreadsheets in LLM-driven RAG systems, aiding answer generation through enriched context rather than improved retrieval accuracy. We propose a novel framework of splitting any spreadsheet into interpretable chunks using cell role annotation. Our framework beats the state of the art, yet it faces a hard ceiling. Spreadsheets are fundamentally two-dimensional unstructured data with continuous relationships and infinite potential cell roles. Because classification models are restricted to finite, pre-defined classes, they cannot per
