I can just imaging an AI tool going in the messing one little thing up, and it being near impossible to find the error.

It doesn’t put formulas into the cells. It will write the formula for you, but you have to put it in yourself.

Also, there’s versioning in Office, so your spreadsheet blowing up for whatever reason isn’t a problem at all - just roll back to the previous version of the file.

I just find it better, to do a little research on formulas, and figuring it out yourself. You’ll become better at spreadsheets. I’d have to try it though, it would depend on the actual implementation of it.

  Great! Thing is: a day only has 24 hours and right now I need to get better at managing IT infrastructure and business processes, not spreadshets.
  
  If you have the time to research Excel - go for it! Absolutely nobody is forcing you to use Copilot.
