The new Excel AI is going to completely break traditional finance teams and change everything #excel #ai #finance #disruption

AI for Excel got so good this week that business analysts are going to have to look at their jobs. I'm not kidding. We have had co-pilot for Excel come out. We have had Sonnet 4.5 come out, and they are both extraordinary. And I mean a thousand X increases in speed over what humans can do. You still have to bring at the data. You still have to write the prompt correctly. I put up a whole post on prompts. But if you do that, I'm not getting, I timed it. I created a multi-tab analysis spreadsheet using one of my prompts that took me five minutes and that took me three and a half days, if I did it the other way. That's about a thousand X increase in speed. That is how powerful these two models are that release this week. In particular, co-pilot is better at editing a little bit, and Claude is better at creating, because it has the ability to use Python and sort of create the whole analysis and then put it in the Excel. But both are really good. They are one and two of the two best models in the world for Excel, and together they answer the question.
