For me personally, a lot of times it's for table augmentation purposes. Appending additional columns to a dataset, such as a cleaned/standardized version of another field, extracting a value from another field, or appending categorization attributes (sometimes pre-seeded and sometimes just giving it general direction).

Or sometimes I'll manually curate a field like that, and then ask it to generate an Excel function that can be used to produce as similar a result as possible for automated categorization in the future.

So in most cases I both want to provide it with tabular data, and also want tabular data back out. In general I've gotten decent results for these sorts of use cases, but when it falls down it's almost always addressable by tinkering with the formatting related instructions – sometimes by tweaking the input and sometimes by tweaking the instructions for the desired output.
