Still don't have a paid Copilot license? Did you know there's a free, lightweight AI alternative built right into Excel for Microsoft 365? It's called Analyze Data, and it's super helpful for getting quick answers, spotting patterns, and generating ideas for how to analyze your data. Its scope and intelligence are much more limited than what you'd get from a full LLM-powered Copilot experience. But sometimes starting with something more focused is actually a good thing. Analyze Data stays close to your dataset and can quickly generate PivotTables, charts, summaries, and answers to natural-language questions. You can check it out for free in my LinkedIn Learning course, AI-Powered Excel. Join more than half a million learners who have taken my courses, and let me know what you'd like to see next so I can make more.
