“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
The simplest way to generate week-start date formulas is using Coefficient’s AI-powered Sheet Assistant. This eliminates the need to remember or manually construct complex date functions like =A2-WEEKDAY(A2)+1.
Instead of researching formula syntax and debugging errors, you can generate accurate date formulas using plain English commands in seconds.
Generate week-start formulas with natural language using Coefficient
Traditional date formula creation requires memorizing WEEKDAY function numbering and understanding how different date calculations work. Coefficient’s AI removes this complexity by converting your natural language requests into proper formulas automatically.
How to make it work
Step 1. Click the Coefficient AI button in your sheet.
Open your Google Sheet and locate the Coefficient AI button. This gives you access to the Sheet Assistant that can generate formulas based on natural language descriptions.
Step 2. Describe what you need in plain English.
Type something like “Convert the dates in column A to their Sunday week start dates” or “Create a formula that shows the Monday start date for each date in column D”. The AI understands your intent and generates the appropriate formula syntax.
Step 3. Let the AI place and explain the formula.
The Sheet Assistant automatically generates formulas like =D2-WEEKDAY(D2)+1, places them in the correct location, and explains how the formula works. It can also apply the formula to your entire column and fix any existing broken formulas.
Turn complex date functions into simple conversations
This approach makes advanced date manipulation accessible regardless of your formula expertise. No more switching between documentation and your spreadsheet. Get started with Coefficient to transform date formula creation.
