Prompt template
I want to compute some result in a spreadsheet but don't know the formula — translate my need into a paste-ready formula. I use: (Google Sheets or Excel) What my data looks like: (describe the columns, e.g., column A dates, column B product, column C amount; or paste the first few rows) The result I want: (describe in plain language, e.g., the total amount per product per month / the count matching a condition) Please: 1. Give me a paste-ready formula and clearly mark which cell it goes in 2. Explain section by section what each part of the formula does 3. Remind me of common error spots (e.g., data range, absolute references, blank cells, inconsistent formats) 4. If there's a simpler or more robust approach (e.g., a pivot table), suggest that too Constraint: follow my specified software's syntax; don't get function names wrong.
