Fun with #AI:
I have a spreadsheet containing assignees, with various values on each line. I needed to calculate the sum of certain values for one assignee. This would normally be a simple query in #LibreOffice, but let's try using AI instead. I uploaded the spreadsheet to #GoogleSheets and entered a simple prompt in #Gemini: 'Give me the sum of XY values for assignee "name"' No result.
So I tried a more algorithmic prompt: 'Go through each line, and if the value in column XX is "name", count the value in column XY to the sum, and give me the total sum for all lines'.
The result? 150.
That's nice, but the simple query in LibreOffice gave me 27, which was the correct answer.

No matter how much I try, Gemini is completely useless in Google Sheets.
