ChatGPT vs Microsoft Copilot for Excel users

ChatGPT is useful for explaining formulas and planning spreadsheet logic. Microsoft Copilot is useful when your company already lives inside Microsoft 365 and allows Copilot access.

Simple rule

If you need explanation and examples, start with ChatGPT. If you need direct work inside Microsoft files and your company has Copilot, test Copilot.

Watchouts

• Do not upload confidential spreadsheets without permission.
