I work *at* #Microsoft (I
am a #contractor and I work in #Philanthropies, so I subtract from Microsoft's revenue - it's all marketing).

I'm doing things with #Excel that I hadn't previously realized were doable. I used to have a coworker help me with Excel and he was laid off almost a year ago.

#Copilot absolutely sux at Excel. The few times I tried it, I gave it the column letters *and* names and asked how to write a formula to do what I wanted.

Its answers used generic labels and the formulas were almost always broken anyway.

In one case, I wanted to shuffle a group of cells in a column of a table and toss the answers into another table. The way to do it is to put random numbers in another column and sort the table on that column.

It wastes more time to ask Copilot for help with Excel than it does to do a web search and look at videos. Plus, electrons.
