How to Increase your Excel Skills with ChatGPT (10x Productivity 😉)

Boosting Excel skills can be achieved significantly with the help of ChatGPT. Users, whether students or professionals, can input questions into ChatGPT to receive tailored formulas for their needs. These generated formulas are easily transferable to Excel or Google Sheets for immediate use. The video showcases practical examples demonstrating how effectively ChatGPT enhances productivity in spreadsheet tasks.

To find the average mark for students in Excel, use ChatGPT to generate a formula. Simply type "create Excel formula to calculate the average values" and specify your cell range (e.g., B2:E2). Copy this generated formula into your desired cell in Excel, which will display the first student's average. To apply it for all students, drag down from the corner of that cell until you reach the last row.

To organize customer data in Excel, start by separating information like names, email addresses, and registration numbers from a single column into distinct columns. Use an Excel formula to extract text separated by commas; for example, input the cell reference (e.g., K2) and designate output cells (B2 through E2). After applying the formula in one cell, copy it downwards to fill adjacent cells automatically with organized data.

To automatically label cells based on time values, start by organizing your data into separate columns. For example, if you have a list of employees and their entry times in column B, use ChatGPT to identify late arrivals. Simply specify the relevant column and describe how you want to categorize the entries as either 'on time' or 'late'. This method allows for efficient tracking of employee punctuality.

To highlight cells in Excel based on values, start by copying a formula into the desired cell and dragging it to fill others. This allows you to identify late arrivals versus those who are on time. To specifically highlight only late arrivals, select the range from C2 to C10 and navigate to conditional formatting under the Home tab. Create a new rule using an appropriate formula for highlighting; choose your preferred color (like yellow) in the format options before confirming with OK.

Highlighting late arrivals in Excel can be done easily by using conditional formatting to change their color, making it straightforward to identify them. For more advanced tasks, such as finding an employee's name based on their ID from a list, you can utilize formulas generated with the help of ChatGPT. By asking for a specific formula that matches your data structure—like searching for names corresponding to given IDs—you receive tailored solutions. Once you have the formula, simply paste it into your desired cell and adjust parameters like the employee ID and range accordingly.

Creating a macro in Excel allows for efficient data retrieval, such as finding an employee's name using their ID. For loan officers needing to calculate monthly EMI, macros can automate this process by inputting the principal amount, interest rate, and tenure without manual calculations. By utilizing ChatGPT to generate VBA code for an EMI calculator and assigning it to a button within Excel’s developer tab, users streamline their workflow significantly. Once set up with the necessary inputs through dialog boxes triggered by clicking the button, calculating EMIs becomes quick and straightforward.

To calculate the EMI for a loan, enter the loan term in months and click OK to obtain the required amount. For comparing employee data across two Excel sheets—one with current month’s data and another with previous month’s—you can identify duplicates by using an Excel formula generated through ChatGPT. Simply input this formula into your desired cell, drag it across to display all duplicate entries from both sheets. This method allows easy comparison of multiple sheets while also enabling you to generate VBA codes or macros as needed.
