Best Practices for Excel Files

Follow these guidelines to get the best AI-generated reports and charts:

Use clear, descriptive column headers in row 1 (e.g., "Monthly Revenue", "Customer Region")
Keep data in a consistent format — one value type per column
Use standard date formats: YYYY-MM-DD, MM/DD/YYYY, or DD-Mon-YYYY
Remove merged cells and blank rows between data
Don't include charts, images, or complex formatting in the uploaded sheet
Don't use colored cell backgrounds to encode information (use a separate column instead)
Don't put totals/subtotals inline with the data — put them in a separate summary row at the bottom
