Course details

This is a hands-on, project-based course designed to help you leverage Copilot in Microsoft Excel to solve real-world data analytics problems. Start by reviewing Microsoft Copilot’s basic features and limitations, compare strengths and weaknesses against tools like ChatGPT, and get up and running with Copilot for Microsoft 365 on your machine. From there, instructor Enrique Ruiz dives into each of Copilot’s core use cases for data management and analysis. Practice adding new formula columns using natural language, applying conditional formatting rules to highlight key data points, and analyzing data to find insights using PivotTables and charts. Along the way, learn 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 get a chance to practice your new skills in role-play exercises as a corporate HR administrator.
