# AI Spreadsheet Generator

> Kenerate's AI spreadsheet generator builds an Excel workbook with up to 10 sheets, or a CSV, from one chat message. Describe the sheet, paste your data if you have it, and Kenerate Agent writes typed columns, real formulas and a totals row, then hands you an XLSX file to download that opens in Excel or Google Sheets.

## Steps
1. Open Kenerate Agent — Go to the chat and sign in. Sending a message needs an account with a verified email.
2. Describe the spreadsheet — Say what it tracks, the sheets and columns you want, and what should be calculated. Paste data if you have it.
3. Let the agent build it — It plans the sheets, fills typed columns and rows, adds formulas and a totals row, and checks the workbook opens.
4. Download and edit — The XLSX or CSV appears in the chat. Download it and open it in Excel or Google Sheets; ask for changes in the same chat.

## In depth

### What goes into every workbook
The spreadsheet tool follows the same rules on every file, so what you download behaves like a sheet someone built by hand.
- Typed columns: numbers stay numbers, percentages are stored as fractions (0.15 shows as 15%), dates are real dates and currency columns show ₹, $, € or £.
- Formulas for anything calculated, such as =B2*C2 or =SUM(D2:D20), so results update when you edit the inputs.
- An optional totals row, summed or averaged per column, written as formulas too.
- A frozen header row and filters on every sheet, sensible column widths, and fit-to-width page setup for printing.
- A check before you get it: the workbook is read back, and a file with a missing sheet is never handed over.

### Good first requests
Requests that work well in one message:
- A monthly household budget with an income sheet, a costs sheet and a summary that shows savings rate.
- An inventory tracker with SKU, item, stock, reorder level and a column that flags what to reorder.
- A sales report from pasted orders: one sheet of raw orders and one with totals by region and month.
- A project timeline with tasks, owners, start and end dates, and days remaining.
- A pricing calculator for your own products, with cost, margin percentage and selling price columns.

### Formulas the file can carry
To keep files safe to open, the workbook only carries functions from a fixed list that works in every Excel since 2007 and in Google Sheets: SUM, SUMIF, SUMIFS, SUMPRODUCT, AVERAGE, AVERAGEIF, MIN, MAX, COUNT, COUNTA, COUNTIF, COUNTIFS, ROUND, ROUNDUP, ROUNDDOWN, IF, IFERROR, AND, OR, NOT, ABS, MEDIAN, PRODUCT, INDEX, MATCH, CONCATENATE, LEN, UPPER, LOWER, TODAY, YEAR, MONTH, DAY and SUBTOTAL. A formula outside that list is written into the cell as text. For XLOOKUP, FILTER, UNIQUE and other newer functions, the agent explains the formula in the chat so you can paste it in yourself.

### What it can't do yet
Be clear on the limits before you start. It can't open a spreadsheet you upload (attachments are images, video and audio), so paste the data as text. It doesn't add native Excel charts or pivot tables. And it builds a new file each time: to change a workbook, ask in the same chat and it makes an updated version.

### More than a spreadsheet
The same chat makes Word documents, PDFs and PowerPoint decks, and can search the web for current figures. It can also make the images, video, music and voice-overs from Kenerate's studios. A product sheet with photos, a sales report with a matching deck, or a budget with a one-page PDF summary can all come from one conversation.

## FAQ
Q: What is an AI spreadsheet generator?
A: An AI spreadsheet generator builds a spreadsheet from a plain-language request instead of a blank grid. In Kenerate Agent you describe the tracker, budget or report you need, and the chat writes an Excel workbook with up to 10 sheets, typed columns, formulas and a totals row, or a CSV, ready to download.

Q: Can AI create an Excel sheet for me?
A: Yes. Ask Kenerate Agent for the sheet in your own words, for example a monthly budget with income, fixed costs and savings rate. It builds a real .xlsx file with formulas for every calculated cell, so the sheet keeps working when you change a number. The file appears in the chat and opens in Excel or Google Sheets.

Q: Can I upload my own Excel or CSV file?
A: No. Chat attachments are images, video and audio only, so spreadsheet files can't be uploaded. Copy the cells from your sheet and paste them into the message instead: a message can hold up to 20,000 characters, which is enough for a few hundred typical rows. The agent then builds a new, cleaned-up workbook from that data.

Q: Which formulas can it put in the file?
A: Calculated cells are written as live Excel formulas, not typed results. The file uses widely supported functions: SUM, SUMIF, SUMIFS, SUMPRODUCT, AVERAGE, AVERAGEIF, MIN, MAX, COUNT, COUNTIF, COUNTIFS, ROUND, IF, IFERROR, AND, OR, INDEX, MATCH, MEDIAN, SUBTOTAL, TODAY and a few more. Newer functions such as XLOOKUP or FILTER are explained in the chat for you to paste in.

Q: Does the spreadsheet include charts?
A: Not as native Excel charts. The workbook has typed columns, formulas, a frozen header and filters, so a chart is two clicks away in Excel or Google Sheets: select the data and insert one. You can also anchor up to 10 images per sheet to cells, such as product photos or pictures made earlier in the chat.

Q: What is the best AI for Excel?
A: It depends on where the work starts. If the workbook already exists, an assistant inside the spreadsheet app (Copilot in Excel or Gemini in Google Sheets) works on it directly. If you are starting from nothing, or want the sheet alongside documents, slides, images or video, a chat that builds a finished file, like Kenerate Agent, gets you a complete workbook in one step.

Q: Which AI models write the spreadsheet?
A: You pick the chat model: Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Fable 5.1, GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna (the default for new chats) or Gemini 3.6 Flash. None of them is locked to a plan. Larger models plan multi-sheet workbooks more carefully; the faster ones suit simple lists and trackers.

Q: Can it make a CSV instead of an Excel file?
A: Yes. Ask for a CSV and the agent writes one, which suits imports into a CRM, a store or a database. A CSV holds a single sheet and no formatting, so for several sheets, formulas or currency formats ask for an XLSX workbook. Values that start with = or + are escaped in the CSV so they are never run as formulas.
