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 bottomData Privacy & Security
