AI Formula in Google Sheets

Using the AI Function in Google Sheets: Prompts, Cell References, Dropdowns, and Multi-Step Lists The video demonstrates practical ways to use the AI function in Google Sheets (for accounts that have access), including generating new text, summarizing/categorizing/analyzing sentiment, and pulling up-to-date web information. It shows how to write AI prompts directly in a formula, reference prompts from other cells, and build dynamic prompts by concatenating text with dropdown selections using ampersands and punctuation. It covers generating answers like country capitals, creating longer custom writing in different styles via a dropdown (e.g., “emotional plea” vs. “rhetoric-filled diatribe”), and converting AI outputs to static values with Paste special → values only. It also demonstrates multi-step outputs: generating a list of capitals sorted by population with one fake entry, asking AI to identify the fake, copying prompts down a column, and generating arts-visit guidance and suggested trip lengths for each destination. 00:00 AI in Sheets Overview 00:28 Basic AI Formula Demo 01:33 Reference Prompts from Cells 02:12 Dropdown Driven Questions 04:02 Generate Longer Writing 05:00 Style Options with Dropdowns 06:29 Multi Step Lists and Fake Data 07:45 City Arts Guide at Scale 09:34 Trip Length Recommendations 10:30 Wrap Up and Subscribe
