Troubleshooting Your Excel Spreadsheet With Chat GPT
You will occasionally get errors when working with Excel formulas, however, Chat GPT
can help you troubleshoot the issues.
Your prompt for Chat GPT should include:
1. A description of what you are trying to do or achieve.
2. The specific formula you are using.
3. The contents or values of the cells involved (if possible).
4. For example, suppose you are trying to subtract dates in Excel but your formula results
in the #NUM! error.
In Excel, I want to get the number of days between two dates. I get a #NUM! error when
using the DATEDIF function like this: DATEDIF(B2, C2, “d”). Cell B2 has the value “10
Apr-23” and Cell C2 has the value “1-Apr-23”. Please explain the error.
The output from Chat GPT noted that the start date in the example is greater than the
end date, which is the cause of the error. The next section of the output provided an
amended formula.
