Microsoft Copilot for Excel: AI-Powered Data Analysis

This is a hands-on, practical course designed to help you leverage Copilot in Excel to solve real-world problems across a variety of common scenarios and workflows.

We’ll start with the basics: what Copilot is, how it integrates with Excel, and how it's evolved since it first launched. I’ll then show you the two main ways you can use Copilot in Excel, and talk about the main limitations you need to be aware of.

From there, we’ll cover best practices for using Copilot effectively. You'll learn how to choose the right model for each task, how to manage and undo changes to protect your work, and how to leverage foundational Excel skills to validate Copilot's outputs.

Last but not least, we’ll put this all into practice across five common use cases: cleaning messy data, auditing workbooks for errors, creating spreadsheets from scratch, analyzing data to surface insights, and building dashboards to communicate results. Each use case is built around a real dataset and a real business scenario, and we’ll use strategic thinking and prompt engineering best practices to get the exact results we’re looking for, all while Copilot takes care of the technical grunt work.
