Paul Barnhurst shows how to find hidden sheets in a spreadsheet, both manually and with AI. The manual method takes three seconds. An AI assistant finds two hidden sheets named 'covert' and 'clandestine' but takes much longer to do it.
Two.
"covert" and "clandestine".
Sonnet.
covert; clandestine
Are there any hidden sheets in this file? To do this manually, I would go home. I would go to format, I'd go hide and unhide. And I would go unhide sheet. It wants me to retry it again. Let me try a different model. It's still not liking that. Let's try thoughts on it. I don't know why. It's really not liking this. Let's try it again. If that doesn't work, let's try a new chat and see what happens. We'll get there. But this is again, you're seeing real life people. But the thing is to do this manually, I would literally go home, format, hide and unhide. And I know there's a hidden sheet because it's lit up. So I can tell within three seconds that there's a hidden sheet called covert. But let's see if we can get our AI tool working. So I've tried it under Sonnet. So Sonnet's thinking and it's discovered that it's working through this. You can see it's looking taken longer than it would take me already manually. But it's going through it. It says, great, I found a hidden sheet. Now it's trying to give you all the information. It said, yes, I like this. There are two hidden sheets in this workbook. There's covert sheet, which I just showed you, and then there's a clandestine sheet, and that is deeply undercover. It is hidden sheets, and it tells me where to even find it as well.
