AI Excel Spreadsheet Generator

Explain your idea, and let AI for Excel handle the setup and build your spreadsheet in an instant. TwistlySheets, the ChatGPT for Excel add-in, acts as an AI-powered spreadsheet generator. Once installed, it lets you create fully structured Excel sheets by typing a quick description—no formatting, no templates, no guesswork.

Can AI create Excel spreadsheets?

Yes! AI is the best at creating Excel spreadsheets. 

Building an Excel sheet from scratch usually means you have to spend time thinking through layout and logic. Then you have to name all the columns, gather the data, and then go about formatting each cell manually. That’s before you even think about formulas and sums. 

This tool skips all that.
TwistlySheets uses AI functions to understand your goal and return a working spreadsheet format, with headers, row structure, formatting, and editable cells in place.

All you do is write what you want in one line and use the AI:TABLE, AI:List, or another AI-powered Excel formula to automatically create a well-formatted sheet in moments.

Built for real-world use

TwistlySheets Excel sheet AI tool isn’t just for quick demos. It works across all types of projects, teams, and roles:

How to use AI to create Excel spreadsheets

Think of what you need

Open Excel and ask yourself: What kind of spreadsheet would help right now? A budget? A planner? A tracker? Once you know, you’re ready to prompt.

Type your prompt using AI.TABLE

In a blank cell, type something like =AI.TABLE(“simple invoice with service, rate, hours, total”). The AI will instantly generate a table that matches your prompt and brings your idea to life.

Get to work!

Once the layout appears, start adding your data, tweaking labels, or adjusting formatting. It’s 100% your spreadsheet — TwistlyCells just takes care of the setup!
