OpenAI first announced the Excel beta in March, followed by Google Sheets in April. Now that it\u2019s finally out to the public, it\u2019s a big deal for anyone who lives inside spreadsheets for their work.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So what can it do for you?<\/p>\n<p>The biggest win here is that you no longer need to leave your spreadsheet to get help. You can build entire workbooks from scratch using a simple text prompt. Need a budget tracker, a KPI dashboard, or a launch forecast? Just describe what you want, and ChatGPT handles the heavy lifting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2390\" height=\"1314\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ChatGPT-Working-with-excel.jpg\" alt=\"ChatGPT Working with excel\" class=\"wp-image-5971450\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>\t\tMicrosoft<\/p>\n<p>If you are already working on an existing spreadsheet, you can ask the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/computing\/artificial-intelligence\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AI<\/a> to clean up messy data, update formulas, add new scenarios, and reformat your outputs, all in plain language.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite part is the ability to ask questions about your own spreadsheet. If you are staring at a formula that doesn\u2019t make sense or trying to figure out why the data is not adding up, you can just type your question and get a clear answer.<\/p>\n<p>Is this only useful for power users?<\/p>\n<p>Heavy spreadsheet users will obviously get a lot out of this, especially those managing complex financial models or multi-tab workbooks. But even casual users will find it useful. Building a simple personal budget or expense tracker from a prompt is far less intimidating than starting from a blank sheet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2378\" height=\"1383\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ChatGPT-working-inside-Google-Sheets.jpg\" alt=\"ChatGPT working inside Google Sheets\" class=\"wp-image-5971451\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>\t\tRachit Agarwal \/ Digital Trends<\/p>\n<p>If you have ever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/computing\/how-to-use-google-sheets\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">used Google Sheets<\/a> or Excel, you know that its main power is in the formulas you can create.
