Python in Edit with Copilot for Excel

Copilot in Excel can now write and run Python against your workbook data, with results landing back in the sheet.

Details

Edit with Copilot executes Python code against your workbook and writes the output directly into Excel, so there is no export and re-import step
Covers advanced analysis, automation, and data transformation, including statistics, simulations, and visualizations
The existing security and execution controls for Python in Excel still govern how the code runs
Available on Windows, Mac, and Web

Best for

Analysis that outgrows formulas: statistics, simulations, data cleaning, and charts Excel cannot build on its own.

When to use it

You know what analysis you want but not the Python to get there, and you do not want to leave the workbook.

Who benefits

Analysts and marketers who live in Excel and have been exporting to a notebook to do the harder work.
