What this course covers

A practical course on AI-assisted spreadsheet work: formulas on demand, data cleanup, and quick analysis. Learners solve real spreadsheet problems they used to google for an hour.

The course runs across 7 topics, each one a short adaptive session rather than a recorded lecture. The tutor explains the idea, works an example, checks understanding, and adjusts the next step to the answer given.

  • Introduction to AI Assistants in Spreadsheets — Learn how to set up and effectively prompt AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Copilot, or Claude) alongside your spreadsheet workflow.
  • Generating Complex Formulas on Demand — Practice prompting AI to write advanced formulas (e.g., XLOOKUP, nested logical statements, and array formulas) based on plain-English descriptions.
  • Explaining and Debugging Broken Formulas — Use AI to dissect, explain, and fix broken formulas or error codes (like #N/A or #VALUE!) in your existing sheets.
  • Data Cleanup: Parsing and Standardizing Messy Text — Use AI to generate strategies and regex patterns for cleaning up messy text, splitting combined columns, and standardizing date formats.
  • Data Cleanup: Deduplication and Categorization — Leverage AI to identify duplicates, map inconsistent categories, and fill in missing data logically.
  • Quick Analysis: Extracting Insights and Trends — Upload or describe dataset structures to AI to generate high-level summaries, identify key trends, and suggest pivot table layouts.
  • Automating Tasks with AI-Generated Macros — Prompt AI to write simple VBA or Google Apps Scripts to automate repetitive spreadsheet tasks without needing prior coding knowledge.

Skills you build

Results are measured against named skills in the OneRange taxonomy of more than 10,000 skills, so a manager sees proficiency per skill rather than a completion tick.

Who it is for

All knowledge workers. The material is pitched at intermediate level, and takes roughly 90 minutes at a typical pace. Because every session adapts, someone who already knows a topic moves through it quickly instead of sitting through an explanation they do not need.

It sits in the Deliverables & Tasks track of the Vero AI Catalog, and can be assigned to one person, a team, or the whole company.

How it is delivered and assessed

Delivery is conversational and interactive, including guided lab exercises. There is no video to sit through and no slide deck to click past.

Understanding is checked with a lab assessment of 5 items, with a pass mark of 70%.

Administrators can copy this course into their own library and adapt it — edit the outline, change the duration, swap the assessment format, or ground it in internal documentation so answers cite the company's own source material.
