Workshop: AI Inside Your Spreadsheets

Turn spreadsheets into AI analysis tools with the new =AI and =COPILOT functions

Still wrestling with ugly spreadsheet data?

  • Hours wasted trying to get insights from data that won’t line up

  • Formulas and macros that break the moment you touch them

  • Endless rows of customer feedback, survey results, or transactions you can’t make sense of

Spreadsheets are powerful. But they’ve always required technical tricks to get real insights.

Until now.

In this workshop, you’ll see how to make spreadsheets do the hard work for you

Using the new =AI and =COPILOT functions (plus a few smart plugins), you’ll learn how to:

  • Clean messy data without formulas or macros

  • Enrich financial or customer data automatically

  • Extract insights from surveys, reviews, or transaction logs

  • Run decision-ready analysis directly inside Google Sheets

No formula yoga. No scripts. Just =AI.

What you’ll take home

  • A clear understanding of when to use =AI, =COPILOT, or plugins

  • Prompt templates you can copy directly into your sheets

  • Example spreadsheets showing cleaning, mapping, enrichment, and topic mining in action

  • A repeatable workflow for analysis that’s faster, cleaner, and ready for business use

Agenda

Part 1: Bringing AI to Spreadsheets

  • Copilot vs. =AI function vs. custom solutions and plugins

  • How they connect to your data — and what each is best for

Part 2: What AI in Sheets Can (and Can’t) Do

  • The limits of current spreadsheet AI

  • How to keep outputs reliable and decision-ready

Part 3: Use Cases You’ll Use Right Away

  • Data cleaning without complex formulas

  • Mapping and enrichment (e.g. missing fields, categories, tags)

  • Topic mining and summarization of large text datasets

  • Practical examples from finance, customers, and operations

Requirements

  • Google account (Google Sheets)

  • Access to AI functions (or plugins — guidance provided in the workshop)

This is for you if:

  • You rely on spreadsheets but you can’t afford wasting hours on cleaning, mapping, and categorizing data

  • You want decision-ready insights directly in the tools you already use
