M365 Copilot in Excel and PowerPoint
Can M365 Copilot structure the unstructured data in Excel for us?
Can M365 Copilot design my PowerPoint based on a certain template adhering to the brand and the guidelines?
Currently, we have a hard time using M365 Copilot in Excel as it is not that helpful as we need to first structure our data to get more insights.
For M365 Copilot in PowerPoint, the design is not as how I expected when it generated a PPT, also it is not able to design based on the template I shared.
What are the upcoming updates? Will M365 Copilot be further improved?

- In order to do more analyzing, we will need to first restructure the data, right? What if we want M365 to help us structure the unstructured data in Excel as it takes a lot of our time, then analyze it? Currently we cannot do that. Any suggestions or updates on this part?
By structured do you mean in a Table vs not? I have seen Copilot prompt me it works with Table data and do I want to it to make a table.
