• The sum of [Column D – Sales] divided by the product of [E1] and [E2]

…and Spreadsheet.com will generate a formula that performs your desired calculation.

How to Generate Formulas with AI

To access the Generate formula with AI dialog, type an equal sign and slash =/ in a cell. Within the Generate formula with AI dialog, use the text field to write a description of the calculation you want to perform in the cell.

Include references to cells and ranges by clicking them as you’re writing the description. Reference columns by typing the name of the column surrounded by brackets [ ], or by clicking the + button in the lower right corner of the dialog and selecting a column from the dropdown.

Click the Generate button and Spreadsheet.com will generate a formula based on your description.

If you do not get the result you expect, try adjusting your request and clicking Regenerate, or click Keep to populate the cell with the output. You can also opt to apply the generated formula as a column formula by clicking Set as Column Formula.
