Analyst 3.2

AI Analyst✨ 3.2

New capabilities

The AI Analyst can now build tables to answer complex questions, like finding goals, modeling scenarios, and doing multi-variate analysis.

  • Goal Seek: Solve reverse calculations, and find the numbers you need to reach a target. Example:

    • How many orders do I need to hit $100k, $500k $1M in revenue?

    • How many cookies should I sell to make $1M?

  • What-If Analysis: See what happens when a key metric changes. Example:

    • How does my revenue change if my margin increases by 5%?

    • What if I raise prices by 10%?

Now, the Analyst can create new tables where each cell is a formula, value, or text to solve problems like these. It’s great for building models, calculators, and plans, simply by asking.

AI Analyst introduction

AI Analyst✨ 1.0

Introducing the AI Analyst ✨

The AI Analyst is like a number-crunching sidekick. It summarizes the main take-aways from any dataset, runs in-depth analysis, and answers any questions you might have about your data. It is available in every Table of a spreadsheet. To access it, click the ✨ on the top-right corner of the Table, next to the Table settings.

When you open the AI Analyst✨ you’ll see three separate sections, which correspond to its three core features.

Quick insights

These are top level insights about your table. The AI Analyst scans your dataset, understands the key variables and provides you with a summary in 3-5 sentences with relevant KPIs about those variables, calculating averages, medians, minimum, max values and more.

Deep dives

This is the second level of AI analysis. The AI Analyst extracts trends, generates pivot tables, and identifies patterns in the data. You can add any of these deep dives as tables to your spreadsheet, and use it to add Charts or Embed the results somewhere else.

Custom questions

Finally, you can use the AI Analyst to ask question about the dataset. The Analyst can answer your queries, making it much simpler to find specific trends, create pivot tables and extract specific information about the dataset
