A Sheets AI formula workflow means you describe what you want in plain English, and AI returns a working formula. Tell it: calculate the average sale per rep, excluding blanks, and it hands you AVERAGEIF with the right syntax. No guessing argument order. No hunting through docs. At aidowith.me, the Tables, Plans & Checklists route covers 10 steps: from setting up your sheet structure to generating VLOOKUP, SUMIFS, array formulas, and conditional logic with AI. You describe the result, AI drafts the formula, you verify it on one row, then apply it to the full range. The route takes about 1 hour and produces a functional spreadsheet you can use the same day. You can also fix broken formulas: paste the error message and the formula together, and AI identifies the argument mismatch. Works with Google Sheets and Excel.

The Problem and the Fix
Without a route
- You know what calculation you need but can't remember the exact syntax or argument order.
- Stack Overflow answers are often for a different version or a slightly different use case.
- Asking ChatGPT gives you a formula, but it's disconnected from your actual column names and layout.
With aidowith.me
- Describe the formula you need in plain English and get working syntax back in under 10 seconds.
- AI adjusts the formula to your column names when you paste in your header row.
- Fix broken formulas by pasting the error and the formula together and asking AI what's wrong.

How It Works
Set up your sheet structure
Define columns and name ranges so AI-generated formulas reference your actual data.
Describe the formula you need
Write a one-sentence description of the calculation and paste it to AI.
Verify and apply
Test the returned formula on one row, confirm the output, then drag it across the full range.
Build Your Spreadsheet Formulas With AI
Follow the 10-step Tables, Plans & Checklists route and finish with a working sheet by the end of the session.

Questions
Describe the calculation in plain English, including your column names. For example: Sum column C where column B says Completed. Paste that into ChatGPT or Claude, and you get a working formula. At aidowith.me, the Tables route walks through this for 10 common formula types, from SUMIFS to array formulas, so you build a pattern you can reuse across all your sheets.
AI handles VLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, AVERAGEIF, IF/IFS, ARRAYFORMULA, and most conditional logic. It also writes Google Sheets-specific functions like QUERY, IMPORTRANGE, and SPARKLINE. The key is giving AI your actual column names so the output references the right ranges. Nested formulas also work well with a clear description of the logic you need.
Yes. Paste the formula, the error message, and a description of what you want it to do. AI identifies the argument mismatch or logic error and returns a corrected version. This method also works for formulas that return wrong values rather than explicit error codes, which are often harder to debug without help.
