Microsoft adds a new Copilot function to Excel, letting users generate, analyze, and summarize data directly in spreadsheet cells with AI.

Microsoft notes that you can combine its new AI function with other Excel functions, including IF, SWITCH, LAMBDA, or WRAPROWS. The company adds that information sent through Excel’s COPILOT function is “never” used for AI training, as “the input remains confidential and is used solely to generate your requested output.”

Excel’s new COPILOT function uses AI to analyze, summarize, and generate content directly in the spreadsheet grid.
