Understand spreadsheets.

How does AI explain a spreadsheet?

AI explains a spreadsheet by reading the visible cells, formulas, and structure, then telling you in plain English what the sheet means and where each number comes from. With Jarvis (getjarvis.eu), press Cmd+/ on Mac or Ctrl+/ on Windows from any Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, or Numbers file — Jarvis screenshots the current view and pulls cell-level data through the Google Sheets or Excel OAuth connector. Ask 'what does this forecast assume?', 'where does the revenue total come from?', 'why did the column shift?', or 'explain this VLOOKUP'. Routing goes to frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google (with OpenAI realtime for voice). The model returns the formula chain, the assumptions, the cell references, and the metric definition. Persistent memory remembers your team's metric naming conventions across sessions. OAuth tokens are AES-256-GCM encrypted and GDPR-aligned. Scroll down for spreadsheet-explanation prompt patterns.

Use Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) with screen context, Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, or local files to explain what a spreadsheet means, where a number comes from, and what to look at next.

Start with the current view. Ask Jarvis to explain the purpose of the sheet, the important columns, the key trend, and any values that look unusual.

If a result looks wrong, ask Jarvis to explain the formula, trace dependencies, and suggest the likely issue. For complex edits, ask it to draft the formula and explain before applying it.
