Writing Effective Prompts

To get the most accurate results, be precise and mention details like column names, ranges, and conditions. Here are examples:

✅ Example 1 – SUM

Prompt: "Add all values in column B where column A equals 'Sales'"

Formula: =SUMIF(A:A, "Sales", B:B)

✅ Example 2 – VLOOKUP

Prompt: "Find the price of the product in cell A2 from the product list in columns A and B"

Formula: =VLOOKUP(A2, A:B, 2, FALSE)

✅ Example 3 – COUNTIF

Prompt: "Count how many times 'Completed' appears in column C"

Formula: =COUNTIF(C:C, "Completed")

✅ Example 4 – IF with AND

Prompt: "If column B is greater than 50 and column C is 'Yes', return 'Pass', otherwise 'Fail'"

Formula: =IF(AND(B2>50, C2="Yes"), "Pass", "Fail")

✅ Example 5 – DATE Functions

Prompt: "Get the month name from the date in cell A1"

Formula: =TEXT(A1, "mmmm")

Tips for Best Results

Be specific with column names, ranges, and conditions.
Use simple English like “add,” “count,” “find,” or “if.”
One prompt = one formula. Break down complex requirements.
Try multiple prompt variations if you don’t get the right formula on the first try.
