Table format in chatGPT is a game-changer.
And a couple of other formatting options too.
It’s another day, and another day that chatGTP surprises me with something I didn’t know before- and turns out to be absolutely amazing. It might not sound like a lot but being able to format output as a table is hugely beneficial for not only readability but exportability.
I just published part two here:
Tip: Add a browser extension to export HTML Tables easily, and it will become super convenient to export these tables to whatever format you need them in. Like this one.
The only thing you need to do to have chatGPT output certain data as a table is to add ‘and format it as a [whatever]’ at the end of the prompt. Or, something similar.
For instance: “Format it as JSON” Or “Output it as CSV“ etc. The idea is to ask for the output format in the prompt. Simple.
But there are more output formats you can try, here are some more ideas.
1. A SWOT analysis of a consultancy firm as a table.
2. The days of the week as JSON.
This saves you some typing when you need an object containing certain data. Days of the week, months of the year, countries in Afrika, Names colors that sounds like
3. Multiple format output.
If you rather have the output formatted as something else, tell chatGPT, and it will happily oblige.
