Use ChatGPT with spreadsheets

Make ChatGPT your spreadsheet assistant. Ask questions instead of writing formulas to explore and understand your data—and get help building templates, cleaning data, visualizing trends, and working smarter in Excel or Google Sheets.

A Notion page summarizing what’s driving the best ROI in a spreadsheet called marketing_performance.xlsx. The user asks for help identifying what’s behind top ROI. The response includes a “Channel Performance Overview” section, explaining that channels are ranked by average ROI, showing efficiency and conversion value. It highlights that top performers generate high revenue per dollar spent, CPA and CPC reveal cost efficiency, and underperformers have low or negative ROI due to poor returns or high spend. A follow-up prompt asks if month-over-month trends or campaign-level breakdowns should be included next.
