Alternatively, you can use the Sentiment analysis function directly in the spreadsheet. Type =SENTIMENT_ANALYSIS_OPENAI to see the autocomplete.

Sentiment Analysis editor

All OpenAI functions need to be configured through mandatory and optional parameters, depending on their purpose. Let's go through them.

Text

The Sentiment Analysis function only requires one parameter, the text. This is simply the text you want to run sentiment analysis on.

You can write the text directly inside the text field in the action wizard, or reference any cell in the table by pointing to it on the editor.

Action w: cell reference

The action will automatically classify the sentiment between: Very positive, Positive, Neutral, Negative or Very Negative.

The remaining parameters are all optional and commonly used for advanced use cases. Learn more about them in the Sentiment analysis function documentation.

Examples

There are several ways to use OpenAI for sentiment analysis:

  • Classify sentiment in social media comments: Determine the overall sentiment on comments on your (or competitors') social media profiles.
  • Rate sentiment from customer feedback: Determine the customer sentiment on product reviews, or feedback survey responses.

Classify sentiment in social media comments or customer feedback

Goal

Analyze comments from social media accounts or any piece of content, and extract the sentiment from the text.

Example:

1=SENTIMENT_ANALYSIS_OPENAI(A2)

Details:

Add the social comment to be analyzed as the first argument (here, cell A2).
