Copilot in Excel with Python

Try it out 

To get started with Copilot in Excel​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ with Python, follow these steps: 

1. Open Excel on Windows and load your data.

2. Navigate to the Home tab, then select Copilot.

3. Select the Advanced analysis card in the task pane that opens.  ​​​​​​​

Alternatively, in the task pane you can use prompts like: 

• "Analyze this data using Python" 

• "Run advanced analysis using Python"

4. Select Start advanced analysis to enter advanced analysis mode. Once in this mode, a new sheet is created for your analysis and Copilot inserts any Python code needed for your analysis. You can ask follow-up questions, request explanations, or use the suggested prompts that appear above the chat input.
