Ask AI to build Google Sheets or Excel automations

For spreadsheet power users, ask the AI to create macros, Apps Script functions, or VBA code. For example: "Write a Google Apps Script that sends an email when a cell in column D changes to 'Overdue'" or "Create a VBA macro that formats all headers as bold blue text."

Why It Works

Spreadsheet automation eliminates repetitive manual work. AI can write the automation code in seconds, even for people who have never touched VBA or Apps Script before.

Tips

• In Google Sheets, go to Extensions > Apps Script to paste generated code
• In Excel, press Alt+F11 to open the VBA editor
• Always test automations on a copy of your spreadsheet first
• Ask the AI to add comments explaining each section of the code
