If you’ve ever opened Excel and thought,
“Wait… what was that formula again?”
you’re not alone.
Most people remember the basics — SUM, AVERAGE, maybe IF —
but when you need something like SUMIFS or XLOOKUP, it’s back to Google, StackOverflow, or random blog posts from 2014.
That’s why 6SigmaMind exists — a tiny 1.7B AI model that instantly turns plain English into working Excel formulas.
And the coolest part?
You can try it in your browser right now.
👉 Launch the demo: https://huggingface.co/spaces/benkemp/6SigmaMindv2
Below are 10 real Excel tasks you can solve instantly using 6SigmaMind.
Just copy the prompt → paste it into the demo → done.
1️⃣ Sum values only when a condition is met
Prompt:
“Sum all values in C where B equals ‘Closed’.”
Expected formula:=SUMIFS(C:C, B:B, "Closed")
Useful for: sales trackers, task lists, invoice tables, workflows.
2️⃣ Return values using XLOOKUP
Prompt:
“Return the price in D for the SKU in A matching H2.”
Expected output:=XLOOKUP(H2, A:A, D:D)
Works like magic compared to old VLOOKUPs.
3️⃣ Find the last non-empty value in a column
Prompt:
“Give the last non-empty value from column B.”
Formula:=LOOKUP(2,1/(B:B<>""),B:B)
One of the most useful Excel tricks ever.
4️⃣ Count how many cells meet a numeric condition
Prompt:
“Count how many numbers in A2:A200 are greater than 50.”
Formula:=COUNTIFS(A2:A200, ">50")
Great for analytics dashboards.
5️⃣ Check if a cell is blank
Prompt:
“Write a formula that checks if B2 is empty.”
Formula:=IF(B2="", TRUE, FALSE)
Or the short version:
=B2=""
6️⃣ Extract text from the start, middle, or end
Prompt:
“Get the first 3 characters of C2.”
Formula:=LEFT(C2,3)
Try variations:
- “Last 4 characters of D3”
- “Extract 5 characters starting at position 2 from B5”
7️⃣ Calculate standard deviation
Prompt:
“Compute the standard deviation of values in B2:B80.”
Formula:=STDEV.S(B2:B80)
Perfect for data analysis and quality control.
8️⃣ Calculate correlation
Prompt:
“Return the correlation between A and B.”
Formula:=CORREL(A:A, B:B)
If you’re analyzing trends, this is gold.
9️⃣ Rank values
Prompt:
“Rank the value in B2 within B2:B100, highest = 1.”
Formula:=RANK.EQ(B2, B2:B100, 0)
Useful for leaderboards, KPIs, scorecards.
🔟 Filter rows that meet conditions
Prompt:
“Filter D2:D100 where B2:B100 equals ‘Active’.”
Formula:=FILTER(D2:D100, B2:B100="Active")
Try it.
If the model gets this one right, you’ll feel the power of small models.
🚀 Why These Tasks Matter
These 10 examples cover the most common “I need a formula but don’t remember it” moments:
- Lookups
- Conditional logic
- Text extraction
- Statistics
- Filtering
- Summaries
- Ranking
With 6SigmaMind, each takes one sentence and a fraction of a second.
That’s the magic of small models:
they’re lightweight, fast, and surprisingly capable — especially when you aim them at one domain.
🎯 Want more challenges?
Try feeding the model:
- nested IF formulas
- multi-condition SUMIFS
- two-way INDEX/MATCH lookups
- quartiles, medians, regressions
- covariance
- date math
- dynamic arrays
- unusual prompt phrasings
If you break it… great!
Every mistake helps shape the next version.
