In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for Data Analysis, Excel & Google Sheets
Analysis Memo With Method, Limits and Next Steps
Prompt
Question being answered and why it matters: {{QUESTION_AND_CONTEXT}}
Data used: source, date pulled, filters, row counts: {{DATA_SOURCE_DETAILS}}
What I did, step by step, in my notes (rough is fine): {{METHOD_NOTES}}
Results: the key numbers and charts I have: {{RESULTS}}
Produce a memo with these headings:
- Summary (three sentences: question, answer, confidence).
- Data (source, date, inclusion rules, known gaps).
- Method (numbered steps clean enough to reproduce, including every exclusion and its row count).
- Results (stated with the numbers I gave; no new figures).
- Limitations (what could make this wrong, ordered by impact).
- Recommendation and next steps.
- Appendix list (files, queries and sheets someone would need).
Constraints: if my method notes have a gap (a filter without a reason, a number that doesn't reconcile, an unexplained exclusion), list these as "Gaps to close before sending" at the top rather than papering over them. Keep the tone plain and neutral. Do not claim more certainty than my notes support.
