Analyze a Spreadsheet Safely

Ask useful questions of structured data and validate the arithmetic.

What you will learn

AI can quickly suggest trends, categorize records and create summaries. It can also misread columns or compute totals incorrectly.

Try this in practice

Use sample or anonymized rows, ask for a summary and independently check totals.

What to watch for

Keep the original file, remove confidential details when possible, and validate material conclusions against source data.

Try this prompt

Replace the bracketed examples with your own details. Never paste passwords or sensitive data.
