Picture this. Your manager has asked for a summary dashboard of this month’s sales figures. It needs to look good, update easily, and be ready for Friday’s meeting. You’ve got the raw data in Excel, a to-do list the length of your arm, and absolutely no idea where to start. Sound familiar?

For most of us, building an Excel dashboard sits in that uncomfortable gap between “I know it’s possible” and “I know how to do it” You’ve seen the polished examples online – dynamic charts, Slicers, clean layouts. But replicating them from scratch feels like a project in itself.

This is exactly where combining Excel with AI changes the game.

Imagine being able to describe what you want in plain English and get back a working formula, a suggested layout, or even a ready-to-use chunk of VBA code that pulls your data together automatically. No trawling through YouTube tutorials. No trial and error with functions you half-remember. Just a practical, back-and-forth conversation with an AI assistant that helps you build what you actually need.

That’s not a distant possibility. It’s something you can do right now, once you know how.

In an upcoming session delivered by Mike Thomas, we’ll use a real-world scenario just like this one to show you how ChatGPT can act as your on-demand Excel expert. You’ll see how to describe your problem clearly, get useful answers quickly, and take those answers straight into your spreadsheet, even if your Excel skills are somewhere between “getting by” and “occasionally Googling things.”

Whether dashboards are your stumbling block or it’s something else entirely – messy data, formulas that never quite work, reports that take forever, the approach is the same and by the end of the session, it’ll be yours too.
