US EditionMicrosoft Crams Copilot AI Directly Into Excel Cells
Microsoft's new AI Copilot function in Excel enables generative tasks like data summarization and sentiment analysis, supporting up to 100 calls every 10 minutes for beta users.
- On Monday, Microsoft integrated the COPILOT function into Excel for Windows version 2509+ and Mac version 16.101+ for Microsoft 365 Copilot beta users, supporting generative AI tasks within cells.
- Microsoft aims to AI-ify Excel by embedding Copilot in cells, bringing summarization and sentiment analysis features absent from standard Excel, Microsoft says.
- Working like a native Excel function, =COPILOT fills categories, sentiments, and emojis, with results updating automatically when source data changes, Microsoft says.
- Currently, Copilot supports 100 calls every ten minutes and 300 per hour, constraining high-frequency use, and cannot access live web or internal company data, relying solely on in-sheet content, which limits immediate data access for professionals.
- Amid demand for broader data sources, future versions will include live web and enterprise integration, with Microsoft planning to add web access via the Frontier program soon.
