Use Case: Solving Excel Problems with Voice-to-Text and Language Translation in ChatGPT

Background

We wanted to solve a common Excel problem:
Filling missing State names based on City names across two worksheets. However, instead of typing the problem manually, we dictated the problem in Hindi using the Voice-to-Text feature on the ChatGPT mobile app. This made the interaction faster, natural, and highly intuitive.

The Prompt (Voice Input)

Dictated prompt in Hindi:

मेरे पास एक Excel वर्कबुक है, जिसमें दो वर्कशीट्स हैं। पहली शीट (Sheet 1) में, कॉलम C में शहरों (Cities) के नाम हैं और कॉलम B खाली है, जहाँ हमें राज्यों (States) के नाम भरने हैं। इसी वर्कबुक की दूसरी शीट (Sheet 2) में, कॉलम A में शहरों की सूची है और कॉलम B में उनके संबंधित राज्यों के नाम दिए गए हैं। कृपया बताइए, इस स्थिति में मुझे क्या करना चाहिए। उत्तर अंग्रेज़ी भाषा में दें।

 

Translation:
I have an Excel workbook with two sheets.
Sheet 1: Column C has Cities, Column B is blank (States to be filled).
Sheet 2: Column A has Cities, Column B has corresponding States.
Please advise how to solve this. Reply in English.
