60 Minutes

ChatGPT can speed up Excel work, but only if you use it with care. This 60-minute ChatGPT for Excel training shows professionals how to use AI help for formulas, data analysis and spreadsheet tasks while keeping results accurate and data secure.

You'll learn how to write precise prompts, generate and refine formulas, functions and VBA code, and test AI-generated output in realistic Excel scenarios. Live demonstrations compare successful results with flawed ones and show how to correct them.

The session also covers when AI help is appropriate, data privacy, security and compliance concerns, common pitfalls, and ways to build ChatGPT into your daily Excel workflow without losing control over accuracy and decisions.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Used well, ChatGPT can cut time spent on formula troubleshooting, analysis and repetitive tasks. Used carelessly, it can introduce formula errors into business calculations, expose sensitive data or break compliance rules.

This webinar suits financial, data and business analysts, accountants and CPAs, operations managers and project managers who use Excel heavily and want to apply AI help confidently and responsibly.
