How to Improve Your Excel Skills with ChatGPT
Leila Gharani. Older (early 2023) but still the cleanest worked example of pasting a real Excel question into ChatGPT, getting a SUMPRODUCT-or-conditional-formatting answer back, and then iterating with the model when the first formula doesn't quite fit. The model has improved a lot; the prompting workflow she shows is the same one you'll use today.
AI Expert note

What you should get from this
Use ChatGPT to explain formulas and iterate on spreadsheet logic while verifying every result in Excel.
