AI for Data
Get more from spreadsheets by asking AI for formulas, explanations, and plain-English summaries of your numbers.
Stop fighting formulas
You no longer need to memorize spreadsheet functions. Describe what you want in plain words, like 'add up column C only when column A says paid,' and AI gives you the exact formula to paste in. If a formula throws an error, paste it back and ask 'why is this broken,' and it will spot the missing bracket or wrong reference.
Ask your data questions
Paste a chunk of rows and ask 'which region grew the most last quarter' or 'spot anything unusual in these numbers.' AI can find patterns, outliers, and trends you might miss. Modern tools built into spreadsheets can do this directly on your sheet, turning raw cells into a quick plain-English readout.
Turn numbers into a story
Numbers alone rarely convince anyone. Ask the assistant to 'summarize what this table means for our sales goal in two sentences.' It translates rows and percentages into a clear takeaway you can drop into an email or a report, so your audience understands the so-what, not just the data.
Sanity-check the math
AI can make arithmetic mistakes or misread which column is which, especially with large or messy data. Always spot-check the result against a couple of rows you can verify by hand. For important decisions, confirm the totals yourself before you act on them or share them.
Key takeaways
- Describe what you want and let AI write the formula.
- Ask your data questions and turn numbers into a clear story.
- Spot-check the math before you act on it or share it.
