The workflow, in plain English
Before: You need a running average of column B. You don’t know the formula. You Google it, find a Stack Overflow answer, adapt it, paste it, hope it works.
After: A “Suggest formula” button appears in the formula bar. Click it. Type “month over month growth.” The formula appears with an explanation: “This calculates percentage change from the previous row. Applied to your Revenue column.” Click “Insert.” Done. The spreadsheet understood English.
Why traditional tools can’t: Built-in formula help requires you to already know what function you need. Dassi translates your intent into the formula, using the actual column names and data types from YOUR spreadsheet.
Step-by-step
- Open your Google Sheet.
- Ask dassi for a formula based on your goal.
- Review the explanation and confirm the range/columns.
- Insert and then extend/apply to the dataset.
Example prompts to try
- “Write a formula for month-over-month growth for Revenue.”
- “Create a running average for column B.”
- “Suggest the best pivot + chart for this dataset.”
Tips for better results
- Be specific about what you want injected into the page (buttons, filters, a panel, a summary, etc.).
- If the page has multiple sections, tell dassi exactly what to focus on (e.g., “the transactions table” or “the diff for file X”).
- Prefer safe workflows first: draft, summarize, label, and prepare — then take actions (submit, purchase) only after review.
