Setting up detail tasks depends on whether you choose the output location as a column or row.
Note: We don't use all the data you select in the input range for the AI response. We only use the selected cell data you define using an absolute or relative index as a prompt to the AI provider.
Output Location: Column
- Process Each Row: Use absolute and relative indexes for columns.
- Examples:
- Absolute Index: "Create a Google ad copy for a product title: [col A] with pricing: [col B]."
- Relative Index: "Generate a summary for each product in col1."
- Relative Index: "Categorize products based on description in col2."
- Absolute Index: "Translate product details from [col D]."
Output Location: Row
- Process Each Column: Use absolute and relative indexes for rows.
- Examples:
- Relative Index: "Categorize products based on description in row3."
- Absolute Index: "Categorize products based on description in [row 4]."
Explanation of Absolute vs. Relative Index
Absolute Index(with space inside [])
Specifies the exact location of a cell using its column and row labels. This format remains constant, regardless of changes in the data range.
- Format:
[col A]
,[row 1]
- Example:
[col A]
refers to column A,[row 1]
refers to row 1.
Relative Index(no space )
Specifies the location of a cell relative to the starting point of the selected input range. This format adjusts if the data range changes.
- Format: colX, rowX, where X is the number. Example:
col1
,row1
- Example:
col1
refers to the first column in the selected input range,row1
refers to the first row in the selected input range.
Valid Index Formats
- Relative Index:
col1
,row1
- Absolute Index:
[col A]
,[row 1]
Ensure your relative or absolute indexes do not exceed or fall outside the input range.

Ensure your relative index in detail tasks such as col1
, row1
or absolute index such as [col A]
, [row 1]
does not exceed or fall outside the input range. For further assistance, please contact our support team.
