用 AI 處理 Excel 與試算表：不再被公式困住

The Pain of Spreadsheets: Formulas and Analysis

Many people get stuck on "which function to use" or "how to analyze data". AI lets you get it done with plain language.

1. Generate Formulas with AI

Not sure which function to use? Use GPTExcel or Ajelix to describe your needs (e.g., "calculate monthly growth rate"), and it will give you the Excel/Google formula, which you can paste in directly.

2. Analyze Spreadsheets Directly with AI

Take it a step further with spreadsheets that have built-in AI, such as Rows, Sourcetable, and Equals, which allow you to ask questions, create charts, and build models using natural language, like having a built-in analyst.

3. Generate Formula Columns with One Click

To apply AI processing (classification, extraction, generation) to an entire column, use tools like Formula Bot.

4. Querying Databases Can Also Be Done with Natural Language

If your data is in a database, use Chat2DB to generate SQL queries with natural language, no need to memorize syntax.

Things to Note

• Formulas and analysis provided by AI must be verified, don't be misled by incorrect results.
• For important decision-making data, double-check it yourself.

Conclusion

AI has turned spreadsheets from a headache-inducing formula and analysis process into something that can be completed with plain language. Save the effort of memorizing formulas for making judgments. For further reading: Using AI to Handle Excel and Spreadsheet Tasks.

Which Tool to Use for Each Need

• Only need formulas → GPTExcel, Ajelix
• Want to analyze data directly → Rows, Sourcetable
• Data is in a database → Chat2DB (generate SQL with natural language)

Conclusion

AI has turned spreadsheets from a headache-inducing formula process into something that can be completed with plain language. But results must be verified yourself — incorrect numbers can lead to disastrous reports. For further reading: I Want to Use AI to Handle Excel.
