Hi everyone! 👋
Ready to transform your raw data into beautiful, interactive reports—without needing to be a data pro?
Today, we’re unlocking a killer method: how to use AI to whip up any kind of report you want, directly in Google Sheets.
Whether you’re brand-new to analytics or just looking to speed up your workflow, this quick guide will show you exactly how to get started.
Let’s dive in!
🚨 What You’ll Need
A Google Sheet containing your raw data.
An AI tool (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, or DeepSeek).
A clear prompt that tells the AI:
To act as a “data analyst expert.”
What columns you have in your raw data sheet.
How you want the final report arranged.
Apps Script access (which comes with Google Sheets).
Step 1: Set Up Your Raw Data
Create or open a Google Sheet where you have your raw data (e.g., Facebook Ads info).
Columns might include Date, Campaign Name, Ad Set Name, Ad Name, Spend, Impressions, Clicks, Conversions, etc.
Label the sheet tab that contains the raw data.
For example, name the tab
Raw Data
.
Verify column headers so you can accurately reference them when you instruct the AI.
Tip: If your data is confidential, consider providing only the column headers (not the actual data) when you prompt the AI.
Step 2: Craft Your AI Prompt
