This produces outputs that update dynamically like native Excel formulas, enabling live recalculation. The tag focuses on how this shift makes AI a native, recalculating part of Excel, with implications for formula behavior, performance, and workflow automation.
Microsoft has quietly moved generative AI from the Copilot side‑pane into Excel’s calculation engine itself, with a new COPILOT function that lets you call Copilot from any cell, pass natural‑language prompts and cell ranges as context, and receive live, recalculating outputs that behave like...
