"Microsoft Excel can be a powerful tool. But unless you're skilled in data analysis, many of its features and tools can be confusing or intimidating. Trained in Excel and OpenAI's latest models, the Excel agent offers advanced analytical and modeling techniques. You can use this agent mode to not only generate content but to examine data, fix problems, and verify the results."
Microsoft introduced agentic AI features for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint accessible to Microsoft 365 business and personal subscribers via the web, with desktop availability planned. The agents use OpenAI models and are trained for application-specific tasks, enabling users without programming or data-analysis skills to generate content, build tools, and derive insights. Excel's agent offers analytical and modeling capabilities, including data examination, error fixing, and result verification, plus automated creation of formulas and charts. Business users typically require a Microsoft 365 Copilot business subscription, while individual users can access agents with Microsoft 365 Family or Personal plans.
