Copying a workbook to a new format workbook

[Macha]

How can I write a precise prompt that ensures GPT retains and reproduces all the information from the old workbook pages as is, without summarizing or omitting anything?

I hate it to be the bearer of bad news, but the best way to copy over data verbatim like the way you described is ctrl + c and then ctrl + v.

I’ve noticed that GPT tends to exclude details it considers less important.

Correct. These language models are meant to summarize information and generate (relatively) novel content based on what data its fed. It is working as intended.

Are you using the API? Perhaps a simple RAG setup that pulls up a needed file is what you need here. If not, I’m unsure if using a language model fits your purpose very well in this case.
