What you'll learn

Clean a messy sheet by prompting

Fix blank cells, split columns, and standardize dates and labels by asking, no formulas and no find-and-replace.

Find the trend and the right chart

Get AI to surface what actually changed, then pick the one chart that shows it instead of a wall of numbers.

Check the AI before you trust a number

The quick sanity checks that catch a confident but wrong answer, so you never send a bad number.

Get a 3-line recommendation you can send

Turn the analysis into a short, plain-English recommendation your team can act on the same day.

Why this topic matters

That messy spreadsheet you have been avoiding? AI can analyze it in minutes. The barrier was never the data, it was the tooling: pivot tables, formulas, the wait on a data team. That barrier is gone. The new skill is knowing how to ask, and how to tell whether the answer is right. This session is how to get real analysis from any sheet, no formulas: clean it, chart it, check it, and recommend.
