AI for Excel turns plain English descriptions into working formulas, structured tables, and interactive dashboards. On aidowith.me, the Tables, Plans & Checklists route has 10 steps that cover everything from basic formulas to full project dashboards in Google Sheets and Excel. You'll describe what you need (a VLOOKUP, a budget tracker, a project timeline) and AI generates the formula or builds the spreadsheet structure. The route covers lookup formulas, conditional formatting, pivot tables, data validation, and dashboard charts. Each step starts with a real work scenario: tracking expenses, managing projects, analyzing sales data. AI writes the formulas and explains what they do, so you can modify them later. No spreadsheet expertise required. The full route takes about 1 hour, and you'll finish with a set of spreadsheet templates and formulas you can reuse for any work task that involves numbers, lists, or plans.

Questions
Yes. The route covers both Excel and Google Sheets side by side. Most formulas work the same in both tools without changes. Where they differ (like QUERY in Sheets vs. Power Query in Excel), the route shows both options so you can pick. Your templates and formulas transfer between the two platforms with only minor adjustments.
That's where AI helps the most. Describe the logic you want in plain English ('show green if sales are up, red if down, yellow if flat') and AI writes the nested IF with conditional formatting for you. The route covers VLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, nested IFs, array formulas, and pivot queries. You don't need to memorize any syntax.
The route explains every formula in plain language: what it does, why it's structured that way, and how to modify it for different data. You'll pick up spreadsheet skills through the building process, not by memorizing syntax tables. After working through all 10 steps, you'll read formulas the way you read regular sentences.
