Can I restyle the result by hand?

Yes. The visual is built from plain Excel objects; recolor, resize and rewrite it as you like.

Does it refresh when the data changes?

Yes. The visual is bound to your cells and updates as the linked values change.

Is anything written into my data?

No. The source cells are read only; the single addition is the visual.

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.
