That is the business model of OpenAI and other upcoming AI companies. They will offer businesses customized, closed and secure AI engines that could only be used within the confines of the company's network.
Not excel, manual or formula data analysis is dead already. Excel is a data structure in tabular form to manipulate. All the power of analysis is on the AI side soon which will be faster and trivially done by anyone without knowing Excel. You can store all the data you want in it and just cause it's a table, it will survive as a data saving format. But not for much longer.
I understand both points of view, new technologies have been trying to kill excel for more than 20 years now unsuccessfuly... But maybe this time is different? But also notice that when asked why profits when down the last year, the AI suggested different reasons without providing the correct answer... This will mean that the data analyst will still need to have skills in excel, powerbi or other data analyst tools to drill in and find the currect reasons... I believe that the data analysts that will survive the AI apocalypse are the one that can automate and speed up their work working WITH this new AI tools, no against them... We have done it before. When powerbi appeared, people that adapted and learned and added that tool to our arsenal did very well... AI could be another tool that data analyst power users can use to become faster and more skilled in our job... Beside, you still need to ask the right questions to the AI and decide on the best provided solutions, and that is exactly the kind of things that good data analysts can do very well...
Excel has huge problems. You cannot use it in git. You cannot test it in a god way. The amount of data is limited and its slow. The reason why its still in use is, because people with an economics background need bullshit jobs. Thats why ai systems won't kill Excel

Excel VBA is still the most widely use tool for engineering and finance. Wait until you have a question from an external auditor. You still need to know the underlying process. Engineer questions are not that simple to infer. For example I just asked co pilot why the coefficient of correlation doesn’t display correctly in charts sometimes and he didn’t know why.
This is fantastic for ease of use, but slightly terrifying as an analyst watching a tool created that can allow entry-level hires to complete high-level tasks with no actual knowledge (which were prerequisites for hire initially)
I suppose my biggest solace lies in the fact that I’m employed in a secure facility. The data we work with requires security clearance to access it, so I don’t need to stress about losing my job to some yahoo who used this tool to “look good without learning” since we would never be permitted to have Chat-GPT on our devices or export a file to use on a personal device.

It can allow entry-level people to make huge and horrifying mistakes because they can't tell what they are looking at, just like highly automated industrial equipment can be run by a noob, but...
As someone who is an analyst, this is both terrifying and amazing. However, your data is very clean. If you give it some data that’s dirty, it does a terrible job and will fail.
Chat is really useful. It’s even more useful if you have some sort of background in what you’re trying to excel at (no pun intended). That’s why people are so scared to use it, it can be used for almost anything but most people don’t have the necessary information and knowledge to maximize its use.
Most of the time that happens I’ve hit a dead end. If you start over and summarize what you gained from the last conversation it gets going pretty well
Chat GPT is a wonderful tool for somethings, but I for one would not be prepared to upload my very sensitive financial data to anywhere in the "cloud" to anyone for any reason!
...this won't replace data analysts because you still need someone to curate and collect the data and make certain there's no discrepancies in the real world. If anything, it makes a Dat analysts life easier. You're always going to need a human to communicate. Experience is key.
AI will communicate it better than a human. I think you are overestimating humans in that respect. It's early days for AI and it moves and improves faster than we can imagine.
It might not replace human analysts per se but it will definitely have an impact on how many analysts it takes to do the same amount of work. If AI tools help reduce the need for technical know-how and allow analysts to do a piece of work 2x-3x as fast, that increases the pool the people who could do analysis AND reduces the number of analysts required, a double whammy when it comes to the job market for analysts.
@@distilledgogilbaThere is hell lot of big data to be analysed .. Excel in this era is totally outdated as it hardly handles a million row data .. You need skills to work on cloud, build ETL to automate process and connect to a BI tool which again comes with set of measures to be created, BI has to be optimised to perform stutter free especially on realtime big data.. plus data handling comes with set of security that needs to be handled.. First understand what data analyst do and then think how AI will help in certain tasks.. I use chat gpt to correct my DAX measure or M codes, create customised plots through python, understand business problems if it's out of my domain and many more.. The one showed in video is very basic for industry standards.. Don't get panicked or panic others who are passionate in this area..
I completely agree. I believe the future of data analysis will not primarily hinge on proficiency with tools like Excel, SQL, Python, or R. Instead, it will revolve around effectively communicating with AI systems, such as ChatGPT, and other emerging technologies. Mastering AI language will become a crucial skill across all professions. However, a solid understanding of your specific professional functions will be essential. It will enable you to craft precise prompts, ask relevant questions, and identify potential errors in AI-generated responses.
Great video! You missed to show that you can ask GPT for a downloadable png of the graphs You can also do so much more, like flowcharts, mind maps, heat maps, etc
@@KevinStratvert In my case, I had a sheet with several thousand rows of Amazon sales data, including daily and hourly data. GPT was able to analyze it and give me deep insights, such as hourly and daily trends. Plus, it provided me with super cool graphs to show YoY comparisons and hourly sales heat maps too. I was super impressed and actually found it very useful.
this is simply insane ! makes works so smarter and efficient and helps in free up time to pick up some more pressing tasks . thanks, Kevin, for sharing tips & tricks along with tutorials. You have touched many lives .
That last quote was a banger Kevin!!! “You don’t need to know how to use the tools , you just need to ask the right questions and to make the right decisions.”
This is true, but these functions are better exploited by analysts because they have the knowledge of how to perform analysis and what type of analysis is most appropriate for various cases.
Can confirm. I threw a sheet with different daily rates for 3 roles in 3 tiers each by staffing companies ( procurement data) . WIth the initial prompt "Which company is the cheapest" and a couple of replies to GPT asking me I arrived at a list cheapest to most expensive on average. WIld.
But can it add data to the spreadsheet? I'd love to have it as an assistant that you could tell to add a new stock purchase to my existing portfolio in all the right places and formats and links to tax portions of same spreadsheet.
If you upload an Excel file into ChatGPT as highlighted in this video, would you not worry that all the data within the file becomes part of the AI, and therefore part of the whole AI realm? If that's the case, then your data is part of the AI realm, and might be accessible to/by other users.
Dude just gave all his company's secure information to bigdata and now all his competitors can have access to it for a price. Later, the Cookie Company went belly up.
Will it coordinate an in depth analysis of internal and world event driven items such as the loss of a key employee, bringing on a new vendor, a flood in the region, the Suez Canal impacting just in time delivery dates, changes in laws or government, multiple data souces… and things you have not considered, when making predictions?
Is the "Data Analyst" tool available within the current GPT-4? I do have a premium subscription and access to the custom GPT's. So my question is: If I were to upload an Excel file to the GPT-4 chat, would the results be the same as the results inside Data Analyst?
I think it's nice that AI is able to read through spreadsheets and derive some meaning, but it's still a far cry from actually working with the data. These tools are still evolving not able to handle complex or dirty data and have limits. It's the same as using AI for any other work, you must be aware of what it knows, ask your questions carefully and double check the results. At the moment the only danger to anyone's job will come from managers who don't understand the job. It's up to you (the data analyst) to make them aware of what you do over what the tool does. Turn it on its head and show how the tool could help you but not replace.
Yeah once it starts interpreting dirty data and cleaning it up like a good human analyst does but in 10 seconds vrs an hour for a human that will be cool to see
Does this mean that sql is dead if we can query a database with a simple, more English friendly chat prompt? I would assume that gpt can even edit data in rows and columns too?
@@BigGuy10Points LOL "has been" not anymore. Last 1-2 years everything changed and will change faster. RIP SQL and Excel and Data Analysts and video editors and graphic designers etc.
Thinking on this more, beyond the magic of seeing the GPT engine produce analysis, the Achilles heel of this tool is its single use and lack of memory. There is no memory after the session of questions. Every spreadsheet analysis is one off. Super the boss might think it’s amazing the first time, but as soon as the spreadsheet changes - and it always does - you’ll have to start the chat and all your questions and charts all over again. Suddenly it doesn’t seem such a time-saver. Meanwhile, if you get your data person or the Excel whiz 2 seats over to make a pivot table, chart, or a full data model and automated dashboard, they’ll update instantly as new data gets put in, changed, or corrected. Waaaay better for anything more than the most simple of questions any business not started literally yesterday should already have answers to.
You could also upload screen shots of analysed data whether its tables, charts, or anything else and ask it to analyse it for you. It's a revolutionary learning and productivity machine and I love it 😎💪 That said, it might make mistakes sometimes. So, you should always be vigilant, careful, and even double check the information if you suspect something isn't accurate. It doesn't just do Excel but SPSS, JASP, R, Python and much more. Go have fun with it and happy coding 😁
Chat GTP sounds good in theory, but when you need to load your own data into it, (using a spreadsheet) as how your supposed to avoid using (because you said it was too cumbersome, no one wants to use formulas) Where doss your info go, how it's used, who has access to it. Where is the privacy?
After seeing this video, I can confidently say excel is alive and well. I work in excel for a living and I am probably one of its most proficient users.
Can ChatGPT do cluster analyses or similar? That'd be really helpful. If it can, do the same data assumptions apply, or would it be able to recognize clusters without making sure these assumptions are met. Thanks, Kevin. You rock.
I remember my excitement in 1999 when Google Search became open for the public at large. Haven't had that same feeling in 25 years until now with ChatGPT 😊
2:24 I was wishing you would click on the Clip to see if it any other option such as a Google Sheets instead of just Excel or what other format type there were, or maybe to pull a file from Dropbox, etc.
Do not worry, it is ok to use AI for easy use, but when you have data with thousands of row and columns, even AI cannot accurately analyze that. Imagine even excel crash with those types of data and that is why you would need Power BI or Tableau. Second and maybe it should have been first is privacy of data. There are a lot of companies that don't want their data put in AI. And they clearly specify to not use AI.
To be honest it looks good, but i would save time if i use directly a pivot table and insert a chart, at some point you need to do stuff by yourself and not always rely on AI.. :)
Exactly. This IS done better with software. And you can save that file too. You can’t save the output from Chat GPT because it doesn’t produce a saveable file.
Indeed. This can help some total novice, but nothing showed here looks like a time saver, or perhaps those verbal interpretations could be if I write bullet points/hypothesis and ask gpt to elaborate from those.
A user can own Excel and can use it offline Nor are they required to upload/share their data to some 3rd party, chatGPT. Still very useful,, especially when working with data that isint sensitive
Sumif equation for the revenue for one customer, reports though with tables and graphs definitely could hasten doing analytics on a per workbook basis.
Imagine if you told your boss you uploaded your company's private sales data and customer's confidential identifying information to a unsecured third party cloud service just to find out you have five customers who mostly buy cookies in December.
What is a good alternative to Excel spreadsheet that uses functions that auto-populate depending on a cell's value and auto-calculate also? Some users were not able to use the excel workbook.
In the case of a Data Analyst's employer - company data, that is sensative. Employers expect you to keep their data within thier intranet or approved vendor portals. You will not be able to drop any such files into this tool, sharing it with non company systems is a violation of InfoSec policy.
I gave ChatGPT 850 lines of data and when the results didn’t make sense she apologized and said she only used a sample of the data and then gave me the correct results using all data. The fact that I had to do that made me not trust ai right now.
Love it. I can think of a problem however. My boss would probably be unsure of the accuracy. She'll want to see the workings out. If we ask chagpt to put the workings out in a table would it ?
Thanks for this. I was trying this function of chat gpt before it becomes a separate gpt but I was not impressed by the results. The deduction from the exel file were pretty obvious. I should retest this. Thanks!
Yes it's incredible so the conclusion is what the video title saying that this tool can replace excel or we are still not there and can only use it as assistant?
This is very interesting, I wonder if you could just write can you analyze the data and give me insights? And for example he would found the seasonality without having to ask for it directly. Also this seems like a very small excel table, does it work with large files?
Thanks Kevin for making this video. Does the data analysis tool within ChatGPT has the feature of predictive analysis based on the data. I mean can it extrapolate the data to predict future trends? and if yes, is there a way we can integrate this with the web application where data is coming on a regular basis?
GPT-4 can run any ML algorithm over your data to create predictions. GPT is running python on the backstage, so basically you can clean data, analyse it, and make predictions just like if you were coding it yourself.
I wonder if you can ask the AI what questions and insights should a prudent business leader apply to the data? (i.e. ask AI to ask and answer prudent questions and suggest prudent business decisions to be made accordingly )
I’ve realised that people who don’t like AI starts their process like this. Stage 1: AI won’t be able to do XXX. Stage 2: AI won’t be able to do better than humans in XXX. Stage 3: WE SHOULD REGULATE THIS ASAP!!

Please don't sensationalize titles. It's essentially clickbait.

Imagine even excel crash with those types of data and that is why you would need Power BI or Tableau. Second and maybe it should have been first is privacy of data. There are a lot of companies that don't want their data put in AI. And they clearly specify to not use AI.
To be honest it looks good, but i would save time if i use directly a pivot table and insert a chart, at some point you need to do stuff by yourself and not always rely on AI.. :)
Exactly. This IS done better with software. And you can save that file too. You can’t save the output from Chat GPT because it doesn’t produce a saveable file.
Indeed. This can help some total novice, but nothing showed here looks like a time saver, or perhaps those verbal interpretations could be if I write bullet points/hypothesis and ask gpt to elaborate from those.
A user can own Excel and can use it offline
Nor are they required to upload/share their data to some 3rd party, chatGPT.
Still very useful,, especially when working with data that isint sensitive
It’s great. I wonder though, about privacy and data governance issues. Here in Europe, we have pretty stringent rules on data protection like GDPR
Great... Im just learning to be a data analyst and I see this. FML
nope, you are not 😉
@@vlastimilpetr9630 he is not what?
Find something else. No need data analysts anymore.
'ask the right questions and then make the right decisions'
Things will go to next level when it cab do things for you in excel like making dashboards, etc
Is Google AI able to do this in Google Sheets as well ?????? Great Video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was awesome! How would we get it to add those created charts and visuals to an Excel or other output file? Thanks again!
Sumif equation for the revenue for one customer, reports though with tables and graphs definitely could hasten doing analytics on a per workbook basis.
3 million subs generating just 400 comments on a video published 3 weeks ago. You are good at IT.
Imagine if you told your boss you uploaded your company's private sales data and customer's confidential identifying information to a unsecured third party cloud service just to find out you have five customers who mostly buy cookies in December.
What the data size that can be ingested? Where does the data sit? Confidentiality?
What is a good alternative to Excel spreadsheet that uses functions that auto-populate depending on a cell's value and auto-calculate also? Some users were not able to use the excel workbook.
In the case of a Data Analyst's employer - company data, that is sensative. Employers expect you to keep their data within thier intranet or approved vendor portals. You will not be able to drop any such files into this tool, sharing it with non company systems is a violation of InfoSec policy.
Amazing!!! I am getting the pro version ... Thanks the inspiration
I gave ChatGPT 850 lines of data and when the results didn’t make sense she apologized and said she only used a sample of the data and then gave me the correct results using all data. The fact that I had to do that made me not trust ai right now.
Love it. I can think of a problem however. My boss would probably be unsure of the accuracy. She'll want to see the workings out. If we ask chagpt to put the workings out in a table would it ?
From ChatGPT's solutions, if you click the [>-] hyperlink, does that give you the formulas that it's using to do its calculations?
So amazing. People/businesses will need to encrypt their spreadsheets. Are we ready for this?
Thank you Kevin I hope your company makes even more profit.
Thanks for this. I was trying this function of chat gpt before it becomes a separate gpt but I was not impressed by the results. The deduction from the exel file were pretty obvious. I should retest this. Thanks!
Sir, Please give a video for learning Business Analysis with Excel.
if you could do more of these, super helpful
Hi Kevin, could I use this function to solve and learn step-by-step resolution on Calculus problems?
I'll admit it looks interesting. What can it do with data that's not cleaned up?
This will be addressed in a future... Aaaa... improved model... We are just beginning to... Bla bla...
don't worry ai will do everything in the near future. No need for humans anymore.
Thank you Kelvin, what about qaulitative data analysis? IN VIVO?
Yes it's incredible so the conclusion is what the video title saying that this tool can replace excel or we are still not there and can only use it as assistant?
Thanks for sharing very interesting.. how your data is safe in the internet?
This is very interesting, I wonder if you could just write can you analyze the data and give me insights?
And for example he would found the seasonality without having to ask for it directly.
Also this seems like a very small excel table, does it work with large files?
Thanks Kevin for making this video. Does the data analysis tool within ChatGPT has the feature of predictive analysis based on the data. I mean can it extrapolate the data to predict future trends? and if yes, is there a way we can integrate this with the web application where data is coming on a regular basis?
GPT-4 can run any ML algorithm over your data to create predictions. GPT is running python on the backstage, so basically you can clean data, analyse it, and make predictions just like if you were coding it yourself.
I wonder if you can ask the AI what questions and insights should a prudent business leader apply to the data? (i.e. ask AI to ask and answer prudent questions and suggest prudent business decisions to be made accordingly )
oh wow Kevin Doing great videos again . Thanks for your hardworking for us!!! Super Video I needed
It can also conflict with customer privacy and personal information laws. Once it is on Chat GPT personal and private information will be compromised😢
Can you make a course on this for using chat gpt for data analyst and scientist
Can it make actual changes to the Excel file or just show analytics?
Can we use plus access??
How is this better than ChatGPT's Advance Data Analysis plugin(earlier code interpreter)?
Code Interpreter was renamed Advanced Data Analysis. It is the same tool just with a new name and improved features.
Same.tool
I dunno, as an Aerospace Data Analyst, ChatGPT replaced some logic in my DAX logic when asked to make it look pretty and it’s terrified me ever since.
I’ve realised that people who don’t like AI starts their process like this.
Stage 1: AI won’t be able to do XXX.
Stage 2: AI won’t be able to do better than humans in XXX.
Stage 3: WE SHOULD REGULATE THIS ASAP!!
Seems it doesn’t create a spreadsheet, but can run analysis on the sheets you have already created.
