Rebuilding pivot tables
Every new question means another pivot — drag the fields, refresh, re-slice, repeat. The result is a layout to maintain, not an answer you can just read.
Excel AI
Analyze Excel by just asking.
Connect or upload a Microsoft Excel file, then ask questions the way you'd ask an analyst. tableArth.ai reads every sheet, joins across tabs without a single VLOOKUP, and answers with the right chart — no pivot tables, no formulas, no SQL.

The Excel analysis grind
You know the workaround. You do it every week.
Excel is where the numbers live — and where every question turns into manual work. The answer is in there; getting it out is the job.
VLOOKUP across sheets
Related data sits on separate tabs, so you stitch it together with VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH — brittle formulas that break the moment a column moves or a row is inserted.
Version drift by email
The file gets emailed, edited, and forwarded until no one is sure which copy is current. Your numbers depend on which attachment you happened to open.
How it works
Connect. Read every sheet. Ask.
Three steps from an Excel file to an answer — no pivot tables, no formulas, no data prep.
Step 01 — Connect
Connect or upload
Connect an Excel file for live, synced data, or upload a one-off .xlsx when you just need a single look. tableArth.ai reads the workbook structure automatically — no template, no cleanup.
Connect · or upload .xlsx
Step 02 — Understand
Reads every sheet
Each tab is read as its own table, keeping its own columns and types. Related sheets are understood and joined on shared keys — no VLOOKUP, no flattening into one tab first.
Multi-sheet, joined
Step 03 — Ask
Ask in plain English
Type a question. tableArth.ai works out which sheets it needs, runs the query, and streams back the answer with the right chart — suggesting follow-ups and asking to clarify when a request is vague.
Answers + charts
What you get
Everything your Excel workflow was missing.
One question replaces the pivot table, the VLOOKUP, and the chart setup — across every sheet in the file.
Live data, not a snapshot
Connect an Excel file and analysis runs on data that syncs automatically as it changes. Need a quick one-off instead? Upload the .xlsx and ask right away.
Multi-sheet workbooks, joined
Every sheet is read as a related table and joined on shared keys. Ask across tabs without writing a single VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH.
The right chart, automatically
Answers arrive with the visual that fits — bar, line, area, pie or donut, scatter, stacked bar, funnel, or table — chosen by the engine, not configured by you.
Suggestions and clarifying questions
tableArth.ai suggests questions worth asking and asks a quick clarifying question when a request is ambiguous — so you reach the right answer faster and with more confidence.
Large Excel files, handled
The timeout issues that used to affect bigger uploads are fixed. Large workbooks load reliably and the upload process is smoother for larger datasets.
Combine with other sources
Add an Excel file to a Workbook alongside Google Sheets and databases like MySQL and MongoDB, then ask one question and get a single answer pulled across all of them.
Ask anything
Questions your workbook can answer.
No formulas, no pivot tables — just type. Here's the kind of thing people ask on day one.

Four privacy modes control exactly what a model can see — Full AI, Masked data, Hybrid (stats-only), and Local template. Choose the mode per workbook, so sensitive columns stay protected while you still get the answer.
FAQ
Analyzing Excel with AI.
Can I connect an Excel file, or do I have to upload it?
Both. You can connect a Microsoft Excel file directly so your analysis runs on live data, or upload a one-off .xlsx or .xls file when you just need a single look. Connected files sync automatically, so you never have to re-upload as the numbers change.
Can it read a workbook with multiple sheets?
Yes. tableArth.ai reads every sheet in the workbook as its own related table and can join across them on shared keys. You can ask questions that span tabs without writing a VLOOKUP or flattening everything into one sheet first.
Does it handle large Excel files?
Yes. The timeout issues that used to affect larger uploads are fixed, so big Excel files load reliably and the upload process is smoother for larger datasets.
Do I need formulas, pivot tables, or SQL?
No. You ask in plain English and tableArth.ai writes and runs the query, picks the chart that fits, and streams the answer back in seconds. There are no pivot tables to build, no VLOOKUP to maintain, and no SQL to know.
Can I combine Excel with other data sources?
Yes. Add an Excel file to a Workbook alongside Google Sheets and databases such as MySQL and MongoDB, then ask one question in natural language and get a single answer pulled across every connected source.
