A Data Engineer is commonly working across multiple data applications that require knowledge of SQL, Python, and Excel, to name a few languages. However, switching between these languages can be time-consuming, especially when it comes to translating complex Excel formulas to SQL statements, for example. I have been really impressed with how well ChatGPT can translate code from one language to another.
For instance, let’s say you have an Excel formula that you want to convert to SQL. With ChatGPT, you can simply input the Excel formula and indicate that you want to translate it to SQL. Within seconds, ChatGPT will provide you with the SQL equivalent of the Excel formula, saving you time and effort that would have been spent manually converting the code.
Consider this Excel formula:
=IF(AND(A2>=90,B2>=90),"Pass with distinction",IF(AND(A2>=70,B2>=70),"Pass",IF(OR(A2<60,B2<60),"Fail","Retake")))
It’s a complicated formula with a lot of conditionals. All you have to do is ask ChatGPT to convert it to SQL:
Similarly, if you have an R code that you want to translate to Salesforce SOQL or an Excel formula that you want to translate to Python, ChatGPT can help you accomplish this task quickly and accurately.
