適用情境 / When to use

Upload a de-identified survey spreadsheet and ask ChatGPT to inspect columns, group comments and count replies, retaining row references for checks. Small or self-selected samples may not represent all customers.

步驟 / Steps

  1. Remove names, phone numbers and identifying text from open responses.
  2. Upload the file and check columns, missing values and duplicates first.
  3. Request counts and row references, then spot-check categories and calculations.

提示詞 / Prompt

First inspect this de-identified survey for columns, missing values and possible duplicate responses. Explain how you identify duplicates; do not delete them without confirmation. Derive themes from the responses without forcing a fixed number. Give response counts, traceable anonymous row references and faithful summaries for each theme. Allow multiple themes per response; state the total valid response count and counting method. Include rare but important comments.

留意事項 / Cautions

  • Small or self-selected samples may not represent all customers.
  • Do not infer sensitive traits or invent missing responses.
