  Create a new Excel workbook in the directory 'C:/Users/YourUsername/Documents/' with three worksheets named 'Q1', 'Q2', and 'Q3'. In the 'Q1' worksheet, generate a table with two columns: 'Date' and 'Sales', filling it with 30 rows of data where the 'Date' column has the dates from the past 30 days and the 'Sales' column contains random sales figures between 50 and 500. Format the 'Sales' column as currency.

  It seems there was an issue with the file path. Let me create the Excel workbook with the name "NewWorkbook.xlsx" in the specified directory. I'll proceed with creating the workbook, adding the three worksheets, generating the table for 'Q1', and formatting the 'Sales' column as currency.

  Let's start by creating the workbook and the worksheets. It appears that I cannot create the workbook because the filename must be an absolute path. Unfortunately, I cannot access local file paths directly.

  Could you please provide a complete file path for the workbook, such as C:/Users/YourActualUsername/Documents/NewWorkbook.xlsx? This way, I can proceed with creating the workbook and the worksheets as requested.

  Score: 4/10

  Create a new Excel workbook at 'C:/Users/YourUsername/Documents/FinancialReport.xlsx' with two worksheets named 'Expenses' and 'Revenue'. In the 'Expenses' worksheet, list the last 15 days in one column and generate random expense amounts between $200 and $800 in another column. In the 'Revenue' worksheet, list the last 15 days in one column and generate random revenue amounts between $500 and $1000 in another column. Format both the 'Expenses' and 'Revenue' columns as currency. Ensure that the date formatting is consistent with the standard date format (e.g., MM/DD/YYYY).

  It appears that the file path provided for creating the Excel workbook needs to be adjusted, as it must be an absolute path that is compatible with the server's file system.

  To proceed, please provide a valid absolute path for the Excel file on the server, or I can create the workbook and worksheets in a temporary location. Would you like to continue with a temporary location or provide a new path?
