# Data Analyst

The Data Analyst app in EmpowerGPT transforms your Excel data into actionable insights through natural language interaction. 

Instead of manually filtering, pivoting, or writing formulas, you can simply upload your Excel file and ask questions — just like you would ask a professional data analyst in your company.

The app:

1. Processes complex Excel files (multiple sheets, large datasets, structured tables)
2. Understands natural language questions
3. Performs calculations, aggregations, filtering, and trend analysis
4. Generates visualizations (graphs and charts)
5. Provides summarized insights and explanations
