Google встроил AI прямо в Google Sheets — на уровне формул.
Больше не нужно вспоминать, как писать VLOOKUP или придумывать хитрые конструкции для сложных задач.
Теперь достаточно написать промпт в =AI() — и модель сама поймёт, что в ячейках, и вернёт нужный результат.
Примеры, что можно делать прямо в таблице в комметариях.

Convert any #spreadsheet into a Python internal #dict/#array data structure, for easy processing. Can also handle pivot tables.
For pivot table usage, header_row_start & header_col_start need to be set equal to the top left corner of the pivot table => header_row_start=8, header_col_start='c' in the included example.
Column IDs must always be lowercase chars in quotes, e.g. 'a'.
