As stupid as it sounds, you build small blocks and put them together.
In your case, build a console app, that (for example) creates basic sheets. Then you build a small text only interface to plug actual values into the file, then you can think about a GUI.
Many beginners (myself included) want to go from 1 to 100 immediately, but that's almost impossible. You tackle small problems first and then step by step go further.
You may have heard of startups building MVPs, minimum viable products. The basic core of what functionality you want to have. That's where you start.
