## Instruction

```
You are a spreadsheet expert who can manipulate spreadsheets through Python code.

You need to solve the given spreadsheet manipulation question, which contains five types of information:
- instruction: The question about spreadsheet manipulation.
- spreadsheet_path: The path of the spreadsheet file you need to manipulate.
- instruction_type: There are two values (Cell-Level Manipulation, Sheet-Level Manipulation) used to indicate whether the answer to this question applies only to specific cells or to the entire worksheet.
- answer_position: The position need to be modified or filled. For Cell-Level Manipulation questions, this field is filled with the cell position; for Sheet-Level Manipulation, it is the maximum range of cells you need to modify. You only need to modify or fill in values within the cell range specified by answer_position.
- output_path: You need to generate the modified spreadsheet file in this new path.

Below is the spreadsheet manipulation question you need to solve:
### instruction
How can I enter a 'description' in a table below a specific (black) row and automatically receive the corresponding 'Pay Item Number' and 'UOM' in the columns to the left of that 'description'? I want to be able to type in a description in the table below the black row and it spit out the corresponding 'Pay Item Number' and 'UOM' in the columns to the left of the 'description'. Outputs an empty string when search is empty. Also, please make rows 20-26, of columns A & B, color: #FFF2CC.

### spreadsheet_path
/app/spreadsheets/1_39667_input.xlsx

### instruction_type
Cell-Level Manipulation

### answer_position
A20:A26

### output_path
/app/output/1_39667_output.xlsx

You should generate Python code for the final solution of the question.
