Editing Your Table with AI Chat
You no longer need to dig through menus to edit a table. With AI chat you describe what you want, and the table updates accordingly: adding columns, cleaning, formulas, formatting, and more.
Quick answer: what can AI chat do with a table?
It turns your natural-language commands into table operations. To start, upload your data and use the edit spreadsheet with AI flow — with an existing Excel/CSV or a table extracted from a PDF.
Common command examples
- "Delete empty rows and format the date column as DD.MM.YYYY."
- "Add a new column applying 20% tax to the amount column."
- "Build a table summarizing total sales by city."
- "Fix spelling inconsistencies in vendor names."
Enriching data from the web
AI chat can also search the web to fill in missing details (e.g., inferring industry/city from a company name), so you expand your table without rewriting it.
Which data to start with?
If you extracted a table from a PDF or image, first convert it with PDF to Excel, then edit with AI chat. To export plain data, the Excel to CSV tool does the job.
Frequently asked questions
Can I generate formulas without knowing them?
Yes; describe what you want to calculate, and a suitable formula is created and applied.
Can I undo changes?
Edits happen on the table; review the result and issue another command if needed.
