Can I edit the resulting visual?

Yes. It is made of ordinary Excel objects, so colors, text and size are all freely adjustable.

What happens when I update the cells?

The visual watches the cells it is bound to; change the values and the view redraws itself.

Will my table change?

No. Your data stays exactly as it is; only the visual is added to the sheet.

Can I try another look on the same data?

Yes. Just reopen the gallery and pick a different template; the earlier visual remains on the sheet.
