I really want to use AI like llama, ChatGTP, midjourney etc. for something productive. But over the last year the only thing I found use for it was to propose places to go as a family on our Hokaido Japan journey. There were great proposals for places to go.
But perhaps you guys have some great use cases for AI in your life?
I use it all the time to write Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerApps formulas. I use it to draft and re-write e-mails. I use it to come up with ideas and brainstorm.
What service do you recommend for writing formulas? I’m perfectly capable of writing my own, but I’m just so lazy now.
I just use Chat-GPT, I also have the capability to write my own formulas, but especially for more complex or repetitive formulas it’s faster.
Here’s one for PowerApps I asked it to extend
Patch(Timesheets, LookUp(Timesheeets, ID=SharePointIntegration.SelectedListItemID), {DataString:Concatenate(TextInput1.Text, “;”,TextInput2.Text, “;”, TextInput3.Text, “;”, TextInput1_1.Text, “;”,TextInput2_1.Text, “;”, TextInput3_1.Text, “;”, TextInput1_2.Text, “;”,TextInput2_2.Text, “;”, TextInput3_2.Text, “;”, TextInput1_3.Text, “;”,TextInput2_3.Text, “;”, TextInput3_3.Text, “;”, TextInput1_4.Text, “;”,TextInput2_4.Text, “;”, TextInput3_4.Text, “;”, TextInput1_5.Text, “;”,TextInput2_5.Text, “;”, TextInput3_5.Text, “;”, TextInput1_6.Text, “;”,TextInput2_6.Text, “;”, TextInput3_6.Text, “;”)}); Refresh(‘Timesheets’);
I just gave it the first bit and two text input fields initially and then asked it to add the remainder for me instead of hitting copy paste and changing the numbers a dozen times.
Probably saved me 5 minutes, but I do this kind of thing fairly regularly so it’s probably saving me a half-hour to an hour per week on formulas alone.
