Stop Wrestling with CSVs: Let AI Handle Your Moving Average Charts

Published: 2026-02-08

If you spend more than five minutes importing CSVs and dragging formula corners in Excel, you’re essentially doing “digital manual labor.” We’ve all been there: wrestling with file paths, fixing date formats that mysteriously broke, and staring at a screen while waiting for thousands of rows to recalculate.

Watch Mica Automate the Entire Process

In this quick demo, I show how Mica talks directly to your local Excel app. We go from a raw .csv file to a polished MA10 chart in about 60 seconds.

Key Takeaways from the Workflow

1. Zero-Click File Import

Instead of the "Data > From Text/CSV" headache, I just used a natural sentence: Import EURmain-1min.csv from Documents\workdata to Excel. Mica finds the file on your local drive and dumps it straight into the active sheet. Privacy win: The data never leaves your machine.

2. Smart Formula Injection (The "Auto-Fill" Magic)

Once the data was in, I asked: Calc the 10-period MA for me and throw a chart on it. Here’s the cool part: Mica didn't just write one formula. It understood the data range and used auto-fill to populate the entire column. No manual dragging or double-clicking the corner of the cell required.

3. Visualizing Like a Pro

The first chart draft wasn't perfect (AI has its days, right?). But with a quick follow-up prompt, I adjusted the title and the axes. The result? A clean, professional MA10 chart that actually makes sense of the market noise.

Why This Changes Your Daily Grind

• Natural Language: Talk to Excel like it's a junior analyst, not a rigid calculator.
• Local Processing: Your financial data stays 100% private. No cloud uploads.
• Context Awareness: Mica knows you want to fill the whole column, not just cell B2.
