ChatGPT for Excel: Install the Add-in and Start Editing

Here's how to use ChatGPT for Excel and Google Sheets with OpenAI's free add-in, which puts ChatGPT in a sidebar inside the file instead of a separate chat tab. It covers installing the add-in in both apps, checking that the publisher line says OpenAI, what the add-in can edit, and what's still out of reach, such as Power Query, pivot tables and VBA macros. It also explains what a message costs in credits, what spreadsheet data goes to OpenAI, and how the add-in compares with Copilot in Excel and Gemini in Sheets. Details from this video OpenAI's budget prompt: Create a budget tracker from these bank statements. Set a monthly spending target based on my income, categorize spending into needs/wants/fees, and generate a dashboard showing budget vs. actual and over/under by month. Include editable assumptions (like mortgage interest and savings). Not supported in the add-in: Office Scripts, Power Query, Pivot/Data Model, data validation, slicers, timelines, external connection administration, advanced charting, VBA Excel Semi-Pro hands-on test of the beta: https://excelsemipro.com/chatgpt-for-...
