Despite being in preview status and
00:00:04
currently requiring prompts in English,
00:00:06
the formula writing assistance offered
00:00:08
by Copilot is quite interesting.
00:00:09
Let's explore some examples together,
00:00:11
starting with a simple table in table mode.
00:00:14
With the Copilot pane active,
00:00:15
I can begin to prompt.
00:00:19
Let's start with adding a total column.
00:00:22
A formula is then suggested to
00:00:24
me with detailed explanations.
00:00:26
It meets my need, so I insert it directly.
00:00:30
Another requirement is adding an average.
00:00:35
I see in the proposal that the formula
00:00:37
is viable and that the total is of
00:00:40
course not included in the average.
00:00:42
Perfect Copilot can also suggest
00:00:44
formulas through prompt suggestions.
00:00:46
In this example, a column extracting
00:00:48
the maximum is suggested to me.
00:00:50
Again, I validate.
00:00:51
What if my request becomes
00:00:53
a bit more complex?
00:00:54
Let's check by asking for the
00:00:56
generation of a column showing
00:00:58
the percentage of each total value
00:01:00
in relation to the overall total.
00:01:03
Which isn't present in my table.
00:01:05
Once again, it's a success.
00:01:10
Is Copilot clever? Let's ask for
00:01:12
the addition of a VAT column.
00:01:16
Well spotted.
00:01:17
It proposes a formula multiplying the
00:01:19
total by the standard rate of 20%.
00:01:22
It's quite impressive to
00:01:23
challenge the assistant.
00:01:25
Let's attempt to manage a condition
00:01:27
specifying that all totals
00:01:29
beyond 100,000 will generate a
00:01:30
5% bonus for the salesperson,
00:01:32
otherwise a zero in the cell.
00:01:36
Yes, it can handle simple conditionals.
00:01:44
To conclude, let's stick with
00:01:45
the basic by adding a total line.
00:01:49
In this case, strangely it's more
00:01:51
mixed, but I can finalize by hand.
00:02:00
For my part, I consider Copilot's mission
00:02:01
to help me write formulas fulfilled.
