You're on your third Google result, with your Excel sheet open, and none of these formulas match. "Total West sales" doesn't tell Google where your dates, regions, or amounts actually sit. Instead, tell AI your Excel version and map your sheet: Date in A, Region in B, Salesperson in C, Amount in D. Ask for total West sales from July through September 2026. Google can only guess what your sheet means. Give AI the columns and the goal; it can match the formula to your data. Here, it sums Amount in D, checks Region in B for West, and uses dates in A from July first through September thirtieth, 2026, inclusive. Paste it into that Excel sheet. The total appears. Your column map makes the formula fit. Tell AI your columns, not just your goal. Follow for one AI work hack a week.
