Details
Copilot in Excel can now analyse a column of unstructured text, such as survey responses or customer feedback, and automatically generate a category or tag for each entry. Instead of reading through every response manually to identify common themes, you can let Copilot group and label the content for you, making it much quicker to see the overall picture.
Availability
Due mid to late July 2026.
