Artificial Intelligence Comes to Excel

8/27/2018

We now get a first look at where Microsoft is going with artificial intelligence in Excel. In my Office 365 version of Excel I should be able to check out the Excel Insights. Can’t wait. My thanks to Mynda Treacy for this excellent analysis.

Excel Insights

Understanding your data and creating Excel charts has never been easier with Excel Insights.

Excel Insights is an AI powered service that automatically identifies patterns in your data and provides you with charts you can insert into your workbook. And because it is powered by machine learning it will provide increasingly advanced analysis as usage grows.

Note: This feature is being made available on a gradual basis over several weeks. It will first be available in English to Office Insider participants, and later to Office 365 subscribers. If you are an Office 365 subscriber, make sure you have the latest version of Office.
