How has Excel Changed For You in 2026?

Curious how many here are utilizing Claude models within Copilot as part of M365 Premium.

For me, it’s been absolutely life changing. I no longer write formulas, build graphs, or do anything that I spent the bulk of my career doing.

I’m in finance, now managing a staff of 50+, and I feel like I’m capable of doing the work of ten analysts just in between my meetings.

Honestly surprised there isn’t more talk about this online, or maybe there is, and I just haven’t seen it.

For those of you that also have access to it, how have you been using it?

I feel like those who have only been been exposed to stock Copilot consider it trash (and I’d generally agree). But once I got Premium, and can now access Claude, it’s night and day.
