Copilot in Excel has been evolving fast. "Edit in Copilot" already lets you describe what you want and watch Excel reshape your data, build formulas, and generate analysis on the spot. Copilot Cowork, powered by Anthropic's Claude, takes it a step further — orchestrating multi-step work across your files and producing entire workbooks from a single request. For anyone who relies on Excel, these tools represent a real shift in how spreadsheet work gets done.
In this live session, our instructors will take a real dataset and walk through what both tools can do today. You'll see formulas built from plain language, PivotTables generated in seconds, and multi-tab reports assembled without a single manual step. You'll also get a clear sense of when to reach for Edit in Copilot, when Cowork is the better fit, and where you still need to bring your own judgment.
This session is built for Excel users who want to understand what's real, what's practical, and what it changes about their daily workflow. It's part of Microsoft AI Skills Fest 2026, a global week of practical AI skill-building running June 8-12.
