Best Prompts 05

Ready-Made Prompts — Copy and Use Them Right Away
Organize the table
Organize this table for me: give the columns clear names, sort the rows in descending order by the [column name] column, and delete any empty or duplicate rows.
Analyze the numbers
Analyze the data in the [column name] column for me: give me the total, the average, the highest and lowest values, and any important observations that stand out in the numbers.
Create a chart
Create a Bar Chart comparing [column 1] vs [column 2]. Keep it clear, use a different color for each category, and add a suitable title to the chart.
Clean the data
Clean up this file for me: fix any spelling mistakes in the [column name] column, convert all dates to a single DD/MM/YYYY format, and remove any extra spaces at the start or end of the text.
Executive summary
Write an executive summary of this file in 5 key points, in plain English. Focus on the most important numbers and results a manager would care about, and keep each point to two lines max.
Compare and find gaps
Compare [first period] and [second period] in the [column name] column. Show me where things improved and where they declined, and suggest two likely reasons for any major gap.
