With Copilot, you can use natural language to describe the analysis you want to perform, and it will automatically generate, explain, and insert Python code into your Excel spreadsheet. This integration unlocks powerful analytics via Python for visualizations, cleaning data, machine learning, predictive analytics, and more—without needing to be Python proficient yourself. We are updating this item to reflect that the feature is currently available within the USA, Australia, and the UK, and is still rolling out to all other geolocations.
