About this tag
The model-grounded ai tag on WindowsForum covers Microsoft's integration of generative AI directly into Excel's calculation engine through the COPILOT function. This feature allows users to call Copilot from any cell, pass natural-language prompts and cell ranges as context, and receive live, recalculating outputs that behave like native Excel formulas. The discussion highlights how this moves AI from side-panes and add-ins to a first-class formula experience, enabling dynamic, context-aware computations within spreadsheets. The tag focuses on practical applications of AI grounded in spreadsheet models, emphasizing real-time recalculation and native formula behavior.

    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...
