Updated 17 Oct 2026

The prompt · ChatGPT

Design a simple spreadsheet tracker.

What to track: [details]
How often I update: [daily / weekly]
Must show: [totals, status — list]
Sheets or Excel: [which]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Column list.
2. Sample rows.
3. Simple formulas.
4. A weekly review view.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, steps or official URLs you're not sure of. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. details: a short note you already have. daily / weekly: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
