What it does
Excel Variance Analyzer is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Analyze budget vs actual variances in Excel with drill-down and root cause analysis. Use when performing variance analysis or explaining budget differences. Trigger with phrases like 'excel variance', 'analyze budget variance', 'actual vs budget'.
Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/README.md`, `references/README.md` and `references/variance-formulas.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Excel spreadsheets and Root cause analysis. It works with Microsoft Excel. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Performing variance analysis
- Explaining budget differences
- With phrases like excel variance
- Analyze budget variance
Example prompts
- “excel variance”
- “analyze budget variance”
- “actual vs budget”
- “/excel-variance-analyzer”
Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(cmd:*)
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Import budget and actual data into comparison template
- Calculate absolute and percentage variances
- Apply materiality thresholds for flagging
- Create drill-down by category, period, or cost center
- Generate variance waterfall chart for executive reporting
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteEditGrepGlobBash(cmd:*)
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
fpanda.org
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
Designed for Claude Code
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Excel Variance Analyzer loads about 536 tokens when it runs, and up to ~873 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 188 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Excel Variance Analyzer
Overview
Performs comprehensive budget vs actual variance analysis with automated drill-down, root cause identification, and executive reporting.
Prerequisites
- Excel or compatible spreadsheet software
- Budget data by period and category
- Actual results for comparison
- Cost center or department structure
Instructions
- Import budget and actual data into comparison template
- Calculate absolute and percentage variances
- Apply materiality thresholds for flagging
- Create drill-down by category, period, or cost center
- Generate variance waterfall chart for executive reporting
Output
- Variance summary with favorable/unfavorable indicators
- Materiality-filtered exception report
- Waterfall chart showing budget-to-actual bridge
- Drill-down by category or cost center
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Missing periods | Data gaps | Fill with zeros or interpolate |
| Percentage calc error | Zero budget | Use IF to handle div/0 |
| Misaligned categories | Changed chart of accounts | Create mapping table |
Examples
Example: Monthly P&L Variance Request: "Analyze why we missed budget by $500K this month" Result: Variance waterfall showing revenue shortfall offset by OPEX savings
Example: Department Budget Review Request: "Which departments are over budget YTD?" Result: Ranked list by variance magnitude with drill-down to line items
