Скачать или смотреть Microsoft introduced Agent Mode in Excel, and it turns Copilot into real spreadsheet co-worker

Microsoft just introduced Agent Mode in Excel, and it turns Copilot into something much more powerful than a chat helper.
It acts like a real spreadsheet co-worker that can plan, build, and improve full Excel models for you.

Instead of answering one question at a time, Agent Mode can handle entire workflows. You give it one clear goal, and it figures out the steps, builds the sheets, adds formulas, creates charts, and keeps improving the result — all directly inside Excel.

What Agent Mode really does

Agent Mode doesn’t just suggest ideas.
It actually works inside your workbook.

It can:

Plan multi-step tasks

Create and edit sheets

Add formulas, tables, PivotTables, and charts

Check its own work and make improvements

And everything it builds is real Excel content that you can fully edit.

How it’s different from regular Copilot

Normal Copilot gives you one response and stops.
Agent Mode keeps going.

It follows a loop:
plan → build → check → improve

That means you don’t need to copy, paste, or repeat yourself. It stays in your file and keeps working until the model or dashboard makes sense.

What you can build with it

With Agent Mode, you can go from a blank workbook to a complete solution, including:

Financial models like DCFs and sensitivity tables

Budget and performance dashboards

Loan and amortization calculators

Multi-sheet reports for management or annual reviews

All using standard Excel features.

How it works in real life

You start with a simple request like:

“Build a 3-statement DCF model with a sensitivity table.”

Agent Mode then:

Creates a plan

Asks for missing inputs

Builds the model step by step

Updates it as you refine your instructions

Where it’s available

Agent Mode is currently available in Excel for the web through the Excel Labs add-in, as part of Microsoft’s Frontier early-access program.

To use it, you need:

A Microsoft 365 Copilot license or

A Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscription

Right now, it works in English and on the web, with desktop support coming later.
