FormulaFence brings CI-style checks to Excel spreadsheets
FormulaFence is a new CLI tool that detects semantic changes in Excel workbooks, such as formula-to-value substitutions and broken references, without executing macros. It enforces review policies via YAML config and outputs SARIF for integration into CI pipelines. The tool is MIT-licensed and works with .xlsx and .xlsm files.

A niche but practical tool for teams that treat spreadsheets as code, though its static analysis limitations mean it's a safety net, not a silver bullet.
