How to Integrate ChatGPT into Excel (Easy Integration)

In this tutorial, we’re going to have a look at how to integrate ChatGPT into Excel in a simple and easy way. Thanks to AI, you’ll be able to use Excel more effectively every day!

Ready to start?

AI, specifically ChatGPT, can make life with Excel so much easier! It already works quite effectively and can help a great deal even today. So, to start, we’re going to have a quick look at how we can use AI in Excel after ChatGPT integration.

In the previous two video tutorials, we’ve seen how to use two interesting and useful AI features.

The first tutorial of the series showed how we can generate an Excel formula thanks to AI and a short description of what we need to do with data.

In the second tutorial, we had a look at quite the opposite – that is a situation when we don’t know what an Excel formula in a spreadsheet does and we simply ask AI in Excel for an explanation.

If you haven’t seen these tutorials, we’d like to invite you to watch them to gain a complete and detailed overview of how AI can help you work with Excel more effectively. The links to the videos are in the description below.

And now we can have a look at the ChatGPT integration itself. We’ll be talking about how to add and use ‘AI-Aided Formula Editor’ in Excel. This is exactly the tool we worked with in the previous sessions and it uses nothing else than ChatGPT.

So, let’s see how we can simply add ‘AI-Aided Formula Editor’ in Excel right now.

How Simply Add ‘AI-Aided Formula Editor’ in Excel

It’s important to note that there are several AI tools for Excel. Some of them are free and some of them are paid. Here we’ll focus on ‘AI-Aided Formula Editor’ which is one of the paid ones, but you can try it out for free. Its greatest advantages are a simple integration and excellent functionality.

With this tool you don’t have to have a separate account for ChatGPT and there’s no need for API keys or anything else like that.

Of course, it might be a good idea to try out other AI tools and pick whichever suits you best. But here we’re going to deal solely with ‘AI-Aided Formula Editor’.

So, let’s add it by clicking on the button ‘Add’.

I’ve also mentioned that this tool is paid, so if you click up here on your account and select ‘Pricing Plans’, you’ll see various options on how you can use the formula editor. You can do the free version, but there’s a maximum of eight AI requests per week. However, this option is great to get familiar with how AI in Excel works and to try it out. In case you like it, you can use it without limitations for 5.99 US dollars a month.
