Copilot Function in Excel

hi lola123​ Even after joining the Insider community, Excel Copilot functions don’t appear immediately. Microsoft releases them in waves.

Typically  it takes 1 day to 7 days.
For some users, it can take up to 2–3 weeks, depending on the channel and Microsoft’s staged release waves.

Even in Insider programs, Microsoft does phased feature flighting, meaning:

Not all users get new features at the same time — even with the same version, subscription, and settings.

So if everything on your system is correct, a delay of a few days is completely normal.

You can try below

1.Force an update

File → Account → Update Options → Update Now
Restart Excel.

2.Sign out/in of Office

This triggers license refresh.

3.Switch to Beta Channel

Fastest path to get the new function.

4.Test in a new workbook

Some features don’t activate in older files until a fresh workbook is opened.
