Struggling to get Copilot to read Excel?

Want it to read Excel sheets and their formulas and tell you how it works?Finding it can't read your spreadsheet nor its formulas?I've got the solution for you

How it works?

For many organisations Copilot has been bundled with their Microsoft Office package. Whilst it's in many ways a great product, and integrates well with Office Tools, there is a gap; Microsoft Excel

What do you mean by a gap?

Like many LLMs and AI Tools, Copilot is very good at reading language, but for Excel when a file is loaded in it doesn't read it like a human might (looking at all the cells, their formulas and values), it just reads the values on the surface.

So what does that mean?

It means Copilot will not read your Excel formula if you upload an Excel file by itself. If you just want it to read surface data that's not a problem, if you want it to understand and tell you how a spreadsheet model might work, detect errors or critique your formulas then it is.

How can I fix this? I can't just switch to another AI tool!

You need to convert the Excel into a format readable by Copilot, with its formulas and values intact.

How can I convert my Excel?
