I could at least see an AI helper for people to determine the right formula to do what they want. The formula syntax can be daunting for folks. Of course, they still have to be able to read such a formula since GenAI screws that up too..

I think they didn't expect this so much as they imagined a spreadsheet with a 'commentary field' and the ability to 'sum up the comments' or to 'provide a sentiment grade based on the comments'.

To be honest, I don't go deep into spreadsheeting like others, I prefer other UI interactions when things get complicated.
