How I Build Finance Reports in Minutes with Excel AI

If you've ever had to pull together monthly or quarterly finance reports across departments, you know the pain:

• Merging income and expenses from multiple sheets
• Building SUMIFS or VLOOKUP formulas to match the right data
• Double-checking calculations to make sure nothing went wrong
• Fixing weird formatting and missing rows
• Spending hours just to get a clean summary

And even after all that, you still had to:

• Create separate charts manually
• Check if totals matched
• Explain discrepancies when mistakes popped up

Result: One word — exhaustion.

What Traditional Excel Work Looked Like

Let’s say you had sales and marketing data like this：

Normal steps:

1. Copy-paste each sheet into one file
2. Use SUMIFS() to summarize revenue and expenses by department
3. Build a profit column:
   =Revenue - Expense
4. Create pivot tables to show departmental totals
5. Build bar charts manually for revenue, expense, and profit
6. Check for missing data or misaligned months

Time spent: Easily 2–3 hours, especially for big datasets.
