Turn conversations into spreadsheets in minutes

Create and update in plain language

Start with a blank spreadsheet or edit an existing one by describing what you need, like a survey results analysis, a discounted cash flow model, or business plan proposal. ChatGPT can build a formatted sheet with formulas included, so you don’t have to start from scratch.

Get faster answers from your data

Ask questions about what’s in your spreadsheet and get clear summaries across tabs. Understand formulas, find and fix errors, spot patterns, and quickly turn data into insights you can act on.

Follow along so you can trust the work

ChatGPT explains what it’s doing, links answers to the cells it references and updates, preserves your formulas and formatting, and asks for permission before making changes, so you can verify each step and revert edits if needed.
