While writing the prompt for an AI model, we have to keep below points in mind:
- Clear and Specific Prompts:
When it comes to prompts, clarity is king. The more specific your query, the better the results.
Let’s say you want to calculate year-over-year growth.
A basic prompt like “What is year-over-year growth?” may yield a generic response.
To make it effective, specify the context: “Calculate year-over-year growth in PowerBI using DAX, with data for the current year in column A and the previous year in column B.”
- Providing Context and Examples
Accurate Context is key to effective results!
When seeking suggestions for KPIs in a sales report, be explicit.
Instead of a generic “What are the KPIs to use in a sales report?” try
“I’m a data analyst in PowerBI working on a sales report. Provide suggestions for common KPIs and how to calculate them using DAX.”
- Establishing Roles for Specific Use Cases
For complex issues, establish a role for ChatGPT.
If you’re stuck in a challenging DAX problem, set the tone by saying “Pretend to be a DAX expert.”
This helps ChatGPT understand the task from a specialized perspective, providing more targeted solutions.
- Setting the Tone According to the Audience
Adapt your tone to your audience’s level of expertise.
Whether you’re explaining data analytics to a non-technical person or diving deep into technical details, adjust your prompt accordingly.
This ensures that the generated content is tailored to the comprehension level of your intended audience.
- Understanding Model Limitations
ChatGPT’s knowledge is not limitless. It’s essential to acknowledge its limitations—knowledge cutoff in September 2021. When inquiring about the latest updates, keep in mind that the model might not have information beyond that date.
Conclusion
Crafting effective prompts for ChatGPT is an art that requires precision and consideration. By being clear, providing context, establishing roles, adapting to your audience, and understanding model limitations, you can extract the most accurate and useful information from ChatGPT.
