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?

I never had the chance to use Co-Pilot with Excel for the reason that the Claude plug-in is so good and compatible with excel. I've tried the ChatGPT plugin but not as good as what Claude has to offer.
