How to use AI, task by task
We picked the scenarios that fit this role from the “What it’s used for” section on each tool page.
Making sense of an inherited fileOpen a multi-tab workbook left by a predecessor and have it explain the assumptions and calculation flow. Follow the cell citations to verify each step.
Spotting odd values in Excel tablesWith a sales or expense table open, ask about “rows that don’t add up” and it points out what you missed by eye. Always verify results against the original formulas.
Merging scattered Excel filesPull several files with mismatched formats into one sheet, and have missing values and mismatched totals flagged. You only check the flagged cells.
Reviewing tables and numbersPaste in a table and ask about unusual values or trends. Always re-check calculated results against the original file.
Merging scattered files into one tableHand over a whole folder mixing Excel files, PDFs, and receipt photos, and have it combined into one organized Excel file. Also ask it to filter out duplicate entries.
