AI Prompts for Excel — Vol. 2

What it does

You don't have a formula problem, you have a "how do I structure this" problem. 50 copy-paste AI prompts that turn messy asks (variance reports, attrition trackers, SLA breaches) into working formulas instantly. No tutorials, just paste and go.

Vol. 2 starts one step earlier: at the business problem itself. The messy budget vs. actual report. The headcount tracker your HRBP wants. The vendor scorecard your boss needs "by Friday."

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
