Implementation Summary

Key Changes Made

1. Complete Excel Data Extraction (Lines 203-283)

const columnMapping = {
  // 13 Required Headers
  'DI': { header: 'DI', unit: 'mm', key: 'DI' },
  'RI': { header: 'RI', unit: 'Ohm/km', key: 'RI' },
  'Wi': { header: 'Wi', unit: 'mm', key: 'Wi' },
  'Ibl': { header: 'Ibl', unit: 'A', key: 'Ibl' },
  'Ibe': { header: 'Ibe', unit: 'A', key: 'Ibe' },
  'Ik': { header: 'Ik', unit: 'kA', key: 'Ik' },
  'Wm': { header: 'Wm', unit: 'mm', key: 'Wm' },
  'Rbv': { header: 'Rbv', unit: 'mm', key: 'Rbv' },
  'Ø': { header: 'Ø', unit: 'mm', key: 'Ø' },
  'Fzv': { header: 'Fzv', unit: 'N', key: 'Fzv' },
  'Al': { header: 'Al', unit: '', key: 'Al' },
  'Cu': { header: 'Cu', unit: '', key: 'Cu' },
  'G': { header: 'G', unit: 'kg/km', key: 'G' },
  
  // 31 Additional Columns (for complete data)
  'conductor diameter': { header: 'Conductor diameter', unit: 'mm', key: 'cond_diam' },
  'capacitance': { header: 'Capacitance', unit: 'uF/km', key: 'cap' },
  // ... 29 more
};

2. Smart Data Separation (Lines 327-447)

// Global constants (same for all voltages) → Technical Data
const globalConstantColumns = new Set<string>();
for (const { excelKey, mapping } of matchedColumns) {
  const values = rows.map(r => normalizeValue(String(r?.[excelKey] ?? ''))).filter(Boolean);
  const unique = Array.from(new Set(values.map(v => v.toLowerCase())));
  if (unique.length === 1 && values.length > 0) {
    globalConstantColumns.add(excelKey);
    technicalItems.push({ label: mapping.header, value: values[0] });
  }
}

// Per voltage group
for (const [voltage, indices] of byVoltage) {
  // Voltage-specific constants → Meta items
  const voltageConstants = new Set<string>();
  for (const col of allColumns) {
    if (globalConstantColumns.has(col)) continue;
    const values = indices.map(idx => normalizeValue(String(rows[idx]?.[col] ?? ''))).filter(Boolean);
    const unique = Array.from(new Set(values.map(v => v.toLowerCase())));
    if (unique.size === 1) {
      voltageConstants.add(col);
      metaItems.push({ label: mapping.header, value: values[0] });
    }
  }
  
  // Variable columns → Tables (BUT: ALL 13 required columns always included)
  const requiredKeys = ['DI', 'RI', 'Wi', 'Ibl', 'Ibe', 'Ik', 'Wm', 'Rbv', 'Ø', 'Fzv', 'Al', 'Cu', 'G'];
  const columns = requiredKeys.map(key => {
    const matched = tableColumns.find(c => c.mapping.key === key);
    if (matched) {
      // Has data
      return {
        key: matched.mapping.key,
        label: `${matched.mapping.header} [${matched.mapping.unit}]`,
        get: (rowIndex: number) => { /* ... */ }
      };
    } else {
      // Empty column
      return {
        key: key,
        label: `${headerLabelFor(key)} []`,
        get: () => ''
      };
    }
  });
}

3. Helper Function (Lines 285-298)

function headerLabelFor(key: string): string {
  const labels: Record<string, string> = {
    'DI': 'DI', 'RI': 'RI', 'Wi': 'Wi', 'Ibl': 'Ibl', 'Ibe': 'Ibe',
    'Ik': 'Ik', 'Wm': 'Wm', 'Rbv': 'Rbv', 'Ø': 'Ø', 'Fzv': 'Fzv',
    'Al': 'Al', 'Cu': 'Cu', 'G': 'G',
  };
  return labels[key] || key;
}
