Choose the cells SAM AI should read, describe the result you need and review the inserted answer.

Step by step

  1. Save your workbook, then open SAM AI from the ribbon header. The panel appears beside the sheet. If sign-in is required, follow the SAM AI access guide.
  2. Select the source cells, such as A1:B5, and check that the cells below and around the selection are free if a result will be inserted there.
  3. In SCOPE OF ANALYSIS, choose Selected cells for the selected range, or Whole sheet when the active sheet is needed as context.
  4. Replace the sample text in AI INSTRUCTIONS with a precise request, such as Return one SUM formula for the revenue column. Choose the answer Language if needed.
  5. Click Submit Request. Wait for the request to finish before changing the sheet structure or submitting another request.
  6. Review the result in the original target sheet. A single value or formula for a multi-cell selection is placed below that range; a table answer starts at its top-left cell and can replace existing contents.
  7. Check formulas and numbers against your original data. Use Undo if the result is not suitable, or save the workbook when you want to keep it.
Before you continue

Submit Request requires an active sign-in, a connection to the SAM AI service and available AI credit.

For a generated table, select an empty destination cell with enough free rows and columns. A table answer can overwrite cells it reaches.

Use Selected cells for a focused task on a large sheet; Whole sheet sends a bounded portion of the active sheet as context.

Create chart from selection is a separate local chart action. It needs a range larger than one cell and does not use a generative AI request.
