I've never used Excel before, and I'm curious about it since many job listings mention it as a required skill. If I need to make a spreadsheet, can AI tools like ChatGPT assist me in the process? If so, what's the best way to go about it?

If you're looking for a straightforward introduction, Excel's simplicity makes it great for beginners. You might want to check out one of those 'For Dummies' books if you find video tutorials hard to follow. I took an Excel class ages ago, and it was super helpful!
Excel is actually pretty user-friendly, so I suggest checking out a YouTube tutorial for about 30 minutes. It’ll give you the basics much quicker than trying to have AI do the whole thing for you.
ChatGPT can definitely help you out step by step! I used it for some basic formulas yesterday. Just remember to add something like "shortest answer possible" to your prompts, so it keeps things concise.
Great idea! I’ll try that when I ask.
I tried getting ChatGPT to create an actual .xlsx file. It generated one, but when I opened it, it only had a bit of what I wanted. It's good for providing guidance, but the output might not always meet expectations. It's probably better to learn Excel and use AI for specific questions once you're stuck.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely look into a tutorial.
