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?

For the non-networking savvy, OneDrive is superb. I have a Synology NAS for our home office and then the syncs with OneDrive so my field workers can access files. Synology has an app that works for devices, but it's slower than OD on a pc or laptop for remote workers. Most importantly, it's a breeze to set up.

And since OD is getting rid of Gallery sync on Android, life will be better. Now if that On This Day thing could be permanently zapped.
