Overview
Excel now does far more than store and calculate data. With Copilot and AI in Excel, the spreadsheet can automate routine tasks, surface insights and help forecast trends. This 120-minute Copilot in Excel training makes these features approachable for every user.
Working through real-world scenarios, you'll see why converting lists into tables matters, how to write clear, detailed prompts that get good results, and how Copilot can help with complex functions, extract values and compare lists. You'll also build PivotTables and charts with AI, apply conditional formatting with natural language, and automate tasks without writing VBA yourself.
The session closes with the requirements and limitations of Copilot, a comparison of Copilot and ChatGPT, and an honest look at whether Copilot is right for you.
Why attend: Whether you are a beginner or an advanced user, and whether you work in accounting, administration or data analytics and visualization, Copilot can help you solve Excel problems without asking colleagues for help. You may already be using some AI features in Excel without realizing it. The session suits accountants, auditors, financial, data, business, sales, marketing and HR analysts, payroll specialists, assistants, office and project managers, recruiters, managers at all levels and small business owners.
