AI in Excel + PowerShell: Better Together
Details
What happens when PowerShell's ImportExcel module meets Claude/ChatGPT AI in Excel?
Let's find out — live.
We'll kick things off with a hands-on ImportExcel demo: pulling data from CSVs, conditional formatting, charts, and pivot tables, all from the command line.
Then we fire up Claude/ChatGPT AI in Excel — natural language prompts, mock sales data, live formulas, dynamic charts, no scripting required.
And we close with something wild: asking Claude/ChatGPT to write the PowerShell ImportExcel script to recreate everything we just built.
Two tools, one workflow, zero boring spreadsheets.
Come ready to throw prompts in the chat.
