// what it does
Ask for the output as a markdown table and name the columns; ChatGPT fills the rows and you copy the whole thing into Google Sheets or Excel, where it splits into cells. This turns open-ended comparisons ("which of these should I pick?") into a scannable matrix, and you can ask it to add a column or re-sort without regenerating.
// prompt
> Compare [option A], [option B], and [option C] in a table with columns: Option, Price, Pros, Cons, Best for. Keep each cell under 12 words.> Reformat the list below as CSV with columns name, role, email: [paste text]// gotcha
Wide tables get truncated or reflowed on narrow screens, and pasting markdown into some editors keeps the pipe characters. Ask for CSV or tab-separated output if you are importing into a spreadsheet and the table paste arrives as one column.
