Course overview

Vanderbilt connects AI assistance with three spreadsheet tasks: formulas, checking and visual explanation. The error-review section gives learners a reason to inspect both human and AI output. Choose it for a focused Excel workflow rather than a general introduction to ChatGPT.

What you will learn

  • Develop an Excel formula with AI assistance.
  • Check an analysis for human and AI errors.
  • Create a visualization that supports a spreadsheet question.

Who this suits

Beginners with basic Excel familiarity, which the provider recommends.

Before you enroll

Inspect formula references and assumptions in your own workbook. Check access to the demonstrated AI features and avoid submitting confidential spreadsheet data during practice.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Ask for a formula on a synthetic workbook with blanks and duplicates. Test the result on manually checked rows before using it in a chart.
