How to Use ChatGPT + Google Sheets: From Messy Data to Insight

Turn raw CSVs into KPIs, summaries, and charts by connecting ChatGPT to Sheets.

Why this combo Sheets gives structure; ChatGPT gives analysis. Together you get "ask a question, get a chart." Setup (fast) 1. Import CSV → **Google Sheets**. 2. Add headers; freeze row 1. 3. Use **Apps Script or extension** to send selected data/text to ChatGPT API and return analysis. Prompt to paste "Given the pasted table, return: 3 anomalies, 5 KPIs, 1 chart idea, and a 4-bullet exec summary." Power tips - Normalize columns (**dates, currency**) before analysis. - Ask for **SQL** against a virtual table if complex. > Graphic: sheet → API → insights flow.
