After this course, you can use the ChatGPT for Excel add-in to create and change sheets and models directly in the workbook. You can have unfamiliar formula chains explained, run scenarios and trace errors back to their cause. Control is central throughout: you check each change against the affected cells before you carry on with the result. The course suits you if you work with Excel models regularly and can read formulas confidently.
What you’ll take away.
- Create and update spreadsheet models in plain language
- Follow formulas and links in workbooks built by others
- Trace errors and assumptions back through the linked cells
- Review proposed changes, then approve or undo them
