Jun 18, 2024

Although AI seems like it is suddenly everywhere in our daily lives, AI has been part of Excel for 10+ years. In this webinar, we’ll discuss AI-powered features in Excel, and explore how to use ChatGPT to write and deconstruct formulas as well as automate repetitive tasks.

Author and Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA will walk you through AI-powered features in Excel, including Flash Fill, Analyze Data, Power Query's Column From Example, extracting data from pictures and PDF documents, and more. He demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Excel for Microsoft 365.

David will also show you how to use ChatGPT to work more efficiently with only a minimal understanding of Excel's Visual Basic for Applications programming language.

David draws your attention to any differences in Excel 2021, 2019 or 2016 during the presentation and in his detailed handouts. The handouts include an Excel workbook with most of the examples he uses during his demonstrations.
