10 Copilot Assistant Prompts for Microsoft Excel

10 Copilot Assistant Prompts for Microsoft Excel

  We will see 10 Copilot prompts for Microsoft Excel that are absolutely essential.  We can do several things that will help us save a huge amount of time, just by asking Microsoft Assistant.  Sound simple?  It's simple, fast and completely effective.

  If you like Copilot so much, remember that it is also possible to set it as a virtual assistant on Android and certainly, the results are really very good.

  Calculate anything

  Different calculations need different formulas, and finding the right formula can obviously take a lot of time.  So we can ask the co-pilot to do it for us.  For this, we will simply have to provide the cell range.

  Create a heat map

  The heatmap is part of conditional formatting that we'll talk about later.  Although it requires more data than the latter.  To achieve this, we will have to provide Copilot with three basic things: context, source, and target.  This way we can save a lot of time.

  Data filtering

  Sometimes we may need to create an ascending and descending list in Excel.  There is no need to waste time doing it manually, we simply ask Copilot and it will do it in seconds.

  Conditional form

  Adding or removing regular formatting is simple.  Although conditional formatting is more complex and time consuming.  So Copilot can do this without any problems.  It's a matter of creating and applying different rules based on our data.

  Create or add a chart/graph

  I realize that creating a chart or graph in Excel is easy, although when we talk about a dynamic chart, things change.  However, whatever chart you want to add, Copilot can do it in seconds.  The first thing is to provide the source and then ask it to generate the graph, it's that simple.

  Replace VBA

  Visual Basic for Applications gives us the ability to create macros in Excel.  Macros automate different things or create repetitive tasks.  But to use Visual Basic accurately, you need knowledge and experience.  But with Copilot, none of this is necessary.

  Create a tracker

  Let's pretend we want to keep track of our family's monthly expenses or how much time certain things take up.  So we can create a message in Excel using Copilot to keep track of everything.

  Use as a planner

  For example, if we want to go on vacation or create an itinerary, but we do not have enough time.  Using Microsoft's AI tool, we can save a lot of time and plan everything: costs, travel, location, etc.

  Analyze and summarize data

  This can take an enormous number of days, depending on the data to be analysed, on many occasions.  But with Microsoft Assistant, we can save days so that they become mere seconds.  We can analyze data of all kinds: sales, academic information, school children, anything else.

  Department of Personnel Affairs or Department of Human Resources

  This is great when we have a responsible team.  If we need to organize employee shifts and even track their paychecks, Copilot can take care of this and manage it for us.
