Convert conversational English questions into spreadsheet queries without requiring formula syntax. Users can ask questions about their data in plain language and receive filtered, aggregated, or analyzed results directly in their spreadsheet.
Automatically restructure, clean, and reformat spreadsheet data based on natural language instructions. This capability handles tasks like splitting columns, combining fields, standardizing formats, and reorganizing data layouts without manual cell-by-cell editing.
Generate statistical summaries, trend analysis, and actionable insights from spreadsheet data using AI interpretation. The system can identify patterns, correlations, and anomalies without requiring users to manually create pivot tables or statistical formulas.
Create summaries, totals, and aggregations of spreadsheet data using natural language instead of SUM, AVERAGE, or GROUP BY functions. Users can request complex aggregations without understanding spreadsheet formula syntax.
Seamlessly integrate AI capabilities into existing spreadsheet files and workflows without requiring format conversion or data migration. The tool maintains full compatibility with standard spreadsheet formats and existing processes.
Apply AI-powered transformations and operations to entire columns or datasets at once rather than row-by-row. This enables efficient processing of large volumes of data with a single natural language instruction.
Extract structured information from unstructured or semi-structured text within spreadsheet cells. This capability can parse emails, descriptions, notes, and other text fields to pull out specific data points into separate columns.
Create complex conditional operations and decision logic using natural language instead of nested IF statements or complex formulas. Users can describe business rules and have them applied automatically across datasets.

Construct data transformations through a visual, step-by-step interface without writing code. Users click through operations like filtering, sorting, and reshaping data, with each step automatically generating M language code in the background.
Automatically detect and assign appropriate data types (text, number, date, boolean) to columns based on content analysis. Reduces manual type-setting and catches data quality issues early.
Stack multiple datasets vertically to combine rows from different sources. Automatically aligns columns by name and handles mismatched schemas.
Split a single column into multiple columns based on delimiters, fixed widths, or patterns. Extracts structured data from unstructured text fields.
Convert data between wide and long formats. Pivot transforms rows into columns (aggregating values), while unpivot transforms columns into rows.
Identify and remove duplicate rows based on all columns or specific key columns. Keeps first or last occurrence based on user preference.
Detect, replace, and manage null or missing values in datasets. Options include removing rows, filling with defaults, or using formulas to impute values.
Power Query scores higher at 32/100 vs OpenAI in Spreadsheet at 27/100. However, OpenAI in Spreadsheet offers a free tier which may be better for getting started.
