Analyzing data with ChatGPT

ChatGPT can analyze data files (like CSV or Excel spreadsheets) by letting you upload them and ask questions in plain language, helping you explore raw data and find insights without building formulas or dashboards manually. The tool is most useful early in analysis, when you're discovering patterns and anomalies, and it can generate visualizations and summaries to share with others. To get reliable results, you should frame your decision clearly, provide context about your data, ask for structured approaches rather than just answers, and verify key numbers before acting on the findings.
