Overview
SheetXAI now offers a streamlined approach to analyze and describe images directly in your Google Sheets through the SAI formula. This efficient method lets you generate descriptive content for multiple images while saving significant time and effort.
How to Analyze Images with the SAI Formula
Important Note: SheetXAI supports the #SAI command format that automatically transforms to formulas. Simply type #sai followed by your instruction and use # to reference cells or columns. The #SAI format works in both Google Sheets and Excel. You can also use formulas directly (=SAI() in Google Sheets or =SHEETXAI.SAI() in Excel) if you prefer.
Step 1: Prepare Your Image URLs
-
Add image URLs to cells in your spreadsheet
-
Ensure URLs are properly formatted and accessible
Step 2: Use the SAI Formula
-
Enter the command in this format:
#sai IMAGE request #A(where #A contains the image URL) -
For example:
#sai IMAGE describe this product in detail #A -
The system will recognize requests that start with "IMAGE" and contain image URLs
Note: The
#SAIformat automatically transforms to formulas every 5 seconds when the chat panel is open. You can also use formulas directly (=SAI("IMAGE Describe this product in detail", A2)in Google Sheets or=SHEETXAI.SAI(...)in Excel) if you prefer.
Step 3: Customize Your Requests
- Tailor your image analysis requests based on your needs
Examples:
-
#sai IMAGE create detailed alt text #B -
