To use ChatGPT in Google Sheets, you can leverage the power of Google Apps Script, which allows you to extend the functionality of Google Sheets by writing custom scripts. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set up ChatGPT in Google Sheets:
Open your Google Sheets document.
Click on "Extensions" in the top menu and select "Apps Script" to open the Apps Script editor.
In the Apps Script editor, delete any existing code and replace it with the following code:
Save the script by clicking on the floppy disk icon or pressing Ctrl + S (or Cmd + S on Mac).
Close the Apps Script editor.
Now, if you go back to your Google Sheets document, you'll find a new menu item called "ChatGPT." Click on it and select "Start Chat."
When you select "Start Chat," it will take the value of the active cell as input and call the getChatGPTResponse function. Replace the placeholder code in the getChatGPTResponse function with your actual implementation to communicate with the ChatGPT API or service of your choice. This is where you send the user input and retrieve the generated response.
Once you have the response, it will be written in the cell directly below the active cell.
That's it! You have now set up a basic integration of ChatGPT in Google Sheets using Google Apps Script. Remember to replace the placeholder code with your own implementation to interact with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT, since its launch in November 2022, has become one of the most
popular tools. It has been used for tasks as diverse and varied as job searches
and digital marketing, coding and cooking assistant.
It is also good at Excel and Google Sheets tasks. It can help with formulas,
formatting data, creating dummy data, and even generating macros and scripts.
But whereas previously we need to move the data to and from ChatGPT, now we
can do it all from Google Sheets.
We can now integrate ChatGPT with Google Sheets and use ChatGPT in Google
Sheets. No more going back and forth between ChatGPT and Google Sheets.
We can just enter the ChatGPT prompt in Google Sheets and get the answer
right there and then.

So, if you’re interested in learning how to integrate ChatGPT with Google Sheets
and use ChatGPT from Google Sheets, read on.
Ways to use ChatGPT in Google Sheets
There are a bunch of extensions that let us integrate ChatGPT into Google
Sheets and access ChatGPT from Google Sheets each with its own quirks and
features.
The most popular and, in my opinion, the most versatile is “GPT for Sheets and
Docs” developed by Talarian, the maker of “Yet Another Mail Merge”. This
ChatGPT extension for Google Sheets comes with several inbuilt functions that
make it easy to use ChatGPT in Google Sheets even with limited knowledge of
Google Sheets or prompt proficiency.
And best of all, the add-on itself is entirely free, though we need to pay for
OpenAI API. An added benefit of using your own API is that you don’t have to

wait for the developers to upgrade to the latest model, and you can customise
API usage and choose the model to use.

Some other extensions that enable us to use ChatGPT in Google Sheets include
Numerous.ai, SheetGPT, and GPT to Work, to name a few.
How to use ChatGPT in Google Sheets
We cannot access ChatGPT directly from Google Sheets but we can use third-
party tools to connect ChatGPT to Google Sheets using its API. We’ll use an
aforementioned extension “GPT for Sheets and Docs” to integrate ChatGPT into
Google Sheets and use ChatGPT in Google Sheets.

Get the OpenAI API key
The add-on uses our own API key instead of the developer’s. This means that we
need only pay for the API and not pay any subscription fee for using the add-on.
If you don’t already have your API key handy, follow these steps to obtain your
OpenAI API key.
1. Log in to OpenAI. Sign up if you don’t have an account yet.

2. Navigate to the API key page by clicking your account icon and then “View API
keys”.
2. Click the “Crete new secret key” button to generate an API key.

8. The Method For Getting Traffic and Sales
After we have enabled to functions, they will be recognised by Google Sheets
and we can use them right away. We can use GPT for Sheets and Docs to
generate text, summarise lengthy text, translate language, format data, and
more.
GPT for Sheets and Docs comes with a handful of handy functions that allow us
to perform specific tasks without the need to elaborately write the prompt.

GPT function
The GPT function allows us to use it as you use ChatGPT. This is the basic,
barebone function but it is also the most flexible. We can use it to generate text,
create mock data, summarise text, and so on.
The syntax of the function is:
=GPT(prompt, [value], [temperature], [max_tokens], [model]) Copy
Of the parameters, all but prompt are optional. The prompt can be either a text
string or a cell reference. Value is text in cell or cell range to apply to the prompt,
temperature determines the creativity of ChatGPT and ranges from 0 to 1. Max
tokens is the maximum API token to use and model is the GPT model to use.
For example, to use the function to generate text, enter the function and the
prompt either as a text string or a cell reference.
=GPT(“Write a compelling tagline for a coffee shop”) Copy

GPT_LIST function
9. The Method For Getting Traffic and Sales
This function is used for generating a list of items. This function has the same
parameters as the GPT function, with only the prompt parameter being
mandatory.
=GPT_LIST(“Five subject lines for an email about stock
clearance offer”)

GPT_TABLE
Use this function to get data in tabular form. For example, you may want to get a
list of groceries with their nutritional information, generate a schedule, or a list of
countries with various statistics such as population, GDP, HDI, Gini coefficient,
or whatnot.
=GPT_TABLE(“Give me a list of ten fruits with their nutriti
value”)
Copy
GPT_FORMAT
This function is used for changing the formats of numbers and texts from one to
another. We can use it to format dates, names, currencies, or addresses.
The Method For Getting Traffic and Sales
The syntax is:
=GPT_FORMAT(input, target_format) Copy
For example, to change the date format:
=GPT_FORMAT(“23 April 2022”, “ISO”) Copy
But this is not very helpful if we input the values manually. We can instead use
cell references.
=GPT_FORMAT(A2:A12, “ISO”) Copy

GPT_EXTRACT
11. The Method For Getting Traffic and Sales
This function is useful if we want to extract specific information from a text. We
can use it to extract information such as names, email addresses, and dates.
The syntax is:
=GPT_EXTRACT(text, to_extract)

12. The Method For Getting Traffic and Sales
Text is the data from which to extract information; it can either be a text or a cell
reference. To_extract is the information to extract from the text input.
The Method For Getting Traffic and Sales
For example, to extract the email address from a text, the following formula
would be used:
=GPT_EXTRACT(A1, “email”) Copy
A1 is the cell that holds the text from which to extract the information.
By bringing ChatGPT to Google Sheets, the GPT for Sheets and Docs enables
us to make the best of both the power of generative AI and the usefulness of
spreadsheets. What used to take hours can now be done in minutes.
