.... You aren't supposed to use it for math.... In excel? What is the point?
People do all sorts of weird non-math stuff in Excel. The stated use-case for this feature is stuff that operates on text. Say for example you fill column A with quotes from your customers about your product. Then you can tell Copilot to provide a summary of each row in column B, and whether the sentiment is positive or negative in column C. You could aggregate the results as well.
There are better tools for that sort of thing, but a lot of people really love their Excel hammer, and they see nails everywhere.
But haven't the makers of Excel said in the past that you shouldn't use Excel for non-math stuff because that's not what it's designed for? Now their putting in a "tool" that's useless for math stuff?
I don't know, I'm not that deep in Excel lore. But sometimes things change.
Is there a layperson-accessible way to paste a large number of email adresses and concatenate them with "; " that's more recommended than spreadsheet software?.
And what do you need AI to do with that list?
Not AI but it is non-math stuff in Excel.
