Let’s be real—manually adding numbers in Excel feels like using a flip phone in 2024. Sure, SUM formulas get the job done, but what if AI could handle the heavy lifting while you focus on insights? As a growth manager at Excelmatic, I’ve seen how AI transforms spreadsheets from static tables into smart data partners.
The Old-School Way (And Why It’s Time to Upgrade)
We all know the basics:
=SUM(A1:A5)for simple totals- AutoSum for quick calculations
But here’s the catch: these methods require constant manual updates. Miss a cell? Your data’s wrong. Change your dataset? Time to rewrite formulas. That’s where AI steps in—imagine Excel that anticipates your needs.
