Microsoft Copilot for Excel: AI-Powered Data Analysis

Description

This is a hands-on, project-based course designed to help you leverage Copilot in Microsoft Excel to solve real-world data analytics problems.

We’ll start by reviewing Microsoft Copilot’s basic features and limitations, compare strengths and weaknesses against Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, and get you up and running with Copilot for Microsoft 365 on your machine.

From there, we’ll dive into each of Copilot’s core use cases for data management and analysis. You’ll practice using Copilot to add new formula columns using natural language, apply conditional formatting rules to highlight key data points, and analyze data to find insights using pivot tables and charts.

Last but not least, we’ll showcase how to use Copilot’s generative AI engine for more advanced use cases, including writing dynamic array formulas and generating Python code within Excel.

Throughout the course, you’ll play the role of an HR Admin at ACME Corporation, a manufacturing company that makes outlandish products based on classic cartoons. Using Copilot in Excel – and the skills you learn throughout the course – you’ll manipulate employee data, monitor performance metrics, and make data-driven recommendations to your HR supervisor.
