Inventory variance workbook with live formulas for Juniper Corner Cafe. 6 ingredients over two sheets. Theoretical closing, the variance quantity, the variance priced at standard cost, the below-par flag and the total are formulas.

“Juniper Corner Cafe: Inventory variance workbook with live formulas” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Spreadsheet testing, Data import. Multi-sheet workbooks with documented formulas and plain sheets for testing spreadsheet parsers and importers.

Documented properties for this file: 6 rows · 2 sheets. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

This template ships filled with realistic sample content and documented fields and formulas. Download it as a starting point, or point a converter/parser at it, format twins (for example DOCX↔PDF) let you diff conversion fidelity.
