Your Spreadsheet
Problems, Solved
in Plain English.

I'm an AI chat assistant who lives and breathes spreadsheets. Describe what you're stuck on — a broken formula, messy data, a VBA macro that won't cooperate — and I'll walk you through the fix, step by step.

// Works with Excel & Google Sheets. Just tell me which one.
Chat Sheet1 +

I have a column of names like "Smith, John" and I need to flip them to "John Smith". I'm in Google Sheets.

🧙 Spreadsheet Wizard

Nice one. Here's the formula — assuming your name is in A2:

=TRIM(MID(A2,FIND(",",A2)+2,100))&" "&LEFT(A2,FIND(",",A2)-1)

How it works: FIND locates the comma. MID grabs everything after it (the first name). LEFT grabs everything before it (the last name). TRIM cleans up extra spaces.

What if some cells don't have a comma?

🧙 Spreadsheet Wizard

Smart edge case! Wrap it in an IF check:

=IF(ISERROR(FIND(",",A2)), A2, ...formula above...)

If there's no comma, it just returns the name as-is. No errors. ✓

Things You Can Actually Ask Me

// I'm an AI — I can't open your files or connect to your spreadsheet. But paste your formula, describe your data, or upload a screenshot, and I'll figure it out.

Formulas Row 1

"My XLOOKUP returns #N/A even though I can see the value in the lookup range. What's going wrong?"

→ I'll check for trailing spaces, data type mismatches, exact vs. approximate match, and other common traps.

Macros & Scripts Row 2

"I need a VBA macro that loops through all sheets in my workbook and copies row 1 to a summary sheet."

→ I'll write the macro, comment every line, and explain how to paste it into the VBA editor.

Data Cleaning Row 3

"I imported 10,000 rows and the dates are a mix of MM/DD/YYYY and DD-Mon-YY. How do I standardize them?"

→ I'll give you formulas or a script to parse both formats and convert to your preferred standard.

Pivot Tables Row 4

"I want a pivot table that shows monthly revenue by product category, with a running total column. Walk me through it?"

→ I'll describe exactly which fields go where and how to add calculated fields for running totals.

Learn & Compare Row 5

"What's the difference between INDEX-MATCH and VLOOKUP? When should I use each?"

→ I'll explain the tradeoffs clearly, with examples in both Excel and Sheets syntax.

01

Describe Your Problem

Type what you're trying to do. Paste the formula that's broken. Mention whether you're in Excel or Google Sheets. Upload a screenshot if it helps.

> "My SUMIFS keeps returning 0..."
=ROW(2)
02

Get the Solution + Explanation

I'll write the formula, macro, or step-by-step instructions. I'll explain why it works so you don't need to ask again next time. I'll flag differences between Excel and Sheets.

> "Here's the fix — your criteria range was one row short..."
=ROW(3)
03

Follow Up & Iterate

Something not quite right? Tell me. I'll adjust the formula, try a different approach, or break it down further. It's a conversation, not a one-shot answer.

> "Almost! But I also need it to ignore blank rows..."

What Chatting With the Wizard Is Actually Like

M Marco

"I'd been fighting a nested IF for 45 minutes. Pasted it in, and within two messages it spotted the misplaced parenthesis AND suggested I use IFS instead. Genuinely helpful."

S Sarah

"I asked for a VBA macro and it actually explained each line. First time I've understood what `For Each ws in Worksheets` means instead of just copying blindly."

D Deepak

"Asked about Google Sheets QUERY function syntax — it gave me the formula AND told me where it differs from SQL. Way better than scrolling through forum threads."
