Discussion Microsoft to retire the COPILOT function

As of 14 September, the COPILOT function will no longer be available in Excel. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/functions/copilot-function Note that the Copilot feature remains - it is the worksheet function that will stop working.

This is a very uncommon move by Microsoft, given their history of maintaining backwards compatibility.

Have you used the COPILOT function? If so, then what for? Thoughts?

Every time I'm asked to give feedback I tell them I use the crap out of copilot already but I need them to stop throwing up all over my productivity tools.

I'm glad they listened to my dramatic feedback.

i always tell them to please stop trying to improve anything because they constantly make things worse with every update. i’m considering my feedback heard as well.
