    I’ve had some fun trying to open old spreadsheet files. It’s not been that painful. (Mostly because people I had to help never discovered macros. In optimal case they didn’t even know about functions.) After all, you don’t have weird external data sources. The spreadsheet is a frozen pile of data with strict rules.

    I would love to be a fly in the wall when in 10 years someone needs to open an Excel file with Copilot stuff and needs fully reproducible results.

      Wait, You’re telling me it redoes all of the prompts every time you open the document. That’s such a bad way of doing it this borderline criminal.

      At the very least, why doesn’t copilot just replace that prompt with the appropriate sum(A1:A3) command?
