Chat with Copilot popup on every Excel launch
An ad for Copilot shows up every single time I open Excel. Clicking Not Now closes it, only for it to reopen again when I open Excel later. Is there any way to disable this or remember my selection each time? It is frustrating to have to deal with it all day long. I do not have a Copilot tab in File > Options. Optional connected experiences is already disabled. Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2511 Build 16.0.19426.20218) 64-bit Windows 11 Pro 25H2
📌 Enhancing Arabic Language Support and Multilingual Intent Accuracy in Microsoft 365 Copilot
Hello Microsoft 365 Copilot Team, I would like to submit a formal proposal requesting an enhancement to the Arabic language experience and the multilingual intent-handling capabilities within Microsoft 365 Copilot. This proposal is based on practical observations across real usage scenarios in environments where users actively switch between Arabic and English for daily productivity tasks. 1. Background and Context Microsoft 365 Copilot has demonstrated exceptional performance in English-language workflows. However, in regions such as the Middle East—where a significant portion of users operate in bilingual environments—there remain notable gaps in language interpretation, UI localization, and multilingual intent retention. Enhancing Arabic language capabilities would meaningfully improve accessibility and align Copilot with the linguistic diversity of Microsoft’s global user base. 2. Observed Challenges in Current Behavior While Copilot excels in English, several recurring issues appear when interacting in Arabic or mixed Arabic–English contexts, including: Limited accuracy in understanding complex Arabic phrasing Reduced reliability when maintaining intent after switching languages within a single prompt Lower naturalness and structure in Arabic text generation when compared to English output Restricted availability of Arabic UI options for Copilot-specific interfaces Occasional misinterpretation of instructions containing blended terminology (Arabic user phrasing + English technical terms) These challenges collectively impact productivity and consistency for users who depend on Arabic as a primary working language. 3. Proposed Enhancements To ensure a more inclusive and reliable multilingual experience, the following improvements are recommended: 3.1 Full Arabic UI Support Across Copilot Surfaces Enable comprehensive Arabic interface options in all Copilot experiences, including Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and online applications. 3.2 Improved Arabic Natural Language Processing Enhance Copilot’s ability to understand and process Arabic grammar structures, context, dialectal variations, and hybrid Arabic–English prompts. 3.3 High‑Quality Arabic Text Generation Ensure outputs are clear, natural, and aligned with the stylistic expectations of native Arabic-speaking users. 3.4 Intelligent Multilingual Context Preservation Implement mechanisms that allow Copilot to maintain accurate intent when users transition between languages within the same instruction. 3.5 User‑Controlled Language Preference Settings Provide configurable options enabling users to define preferred input and output languages on a per-application or global basis. 4. Anticipated Benefits Implementing these enhancements is expected to: Improve overall accessibility for Arabic-speaking users Strengthen productivity across bilingual workflows Expand the suitability of Copilot for enterprise and governmental organizations operating in Arabic-speaking regions Increase adoption and satisfaction within a key growth market Align Copilot’s capabilities with diverse global language expectations These improvements would strongly support Microsoft’s broader mission of delivering inclusive, globally relevant AI-driven experiences. 5. Closing Statement Thank you for taking the time to review this proposal. Advancing Arabic language support and strengthening multilingual intent handling would provide significant value to a large and growing segment of Microsoft 365 users. I appreciate your continued commitment to improving the Copilot experience for users worldwide.Formula/method to link the data/responses I get from my forms into a different table.
Hi everyone! I need help with a project that I'm creating. Im making use of Microsoft Forms in order to input certain information. I made use of branching since some answers depend on the previous choice. So moving on to my problem, I want my table2 to get the responses/data from the data table created by the forms. Table 2 Table of responses For reference for the spill error, here is the formula that I used. Any insights will help a lot. Thank you have a great day everyone.
Data Reconciliation Assistance Needed – Time Range & Sum Matching
I have two sets of data that need to be reconciled. Specifically, I’m trying to identify which combinations of numbers from these datasets can sum up to a specific target value. Additionally, the reconciliation should only consider entries that fall within a defined time range—from approximately 8:00 AM on one day to 10:00 PM the following day. I’ve tried using Solver and Goal Seek, but the results don’t seem accurate. I also attempted using Microsoft Copilot, but the outcome still appears incorrect. Could you assist with identifying or generating the correct combinations based on the criteria above?Sheet View Issues with Excel Web Browser
Hi, I have created a Excel document for my department to use, I tried Excel App but due to the size of the Spreadsheet it kept freezing, as a result I switched it to use Excel through Web Browser. The sheet no longer freezes which is good. I do have another issue though.....I wanted multiple users to be able to access, edit the sheet at the same time so I did some research and Sheet View seemed to be the way forward. I created a Sheet view for each employee to use so when you go to View, Sheet View and click on the relevant person their work is updated, saved etc and this shouldn't affect others view. This is working in terms of people editing. The main issue now though is that despite following advice sometimes when someone changes a filter on their own sheet view it seems to change others view. My understanding was you can hide, filter etc within your own Sheet view but this doesn't seem to be the case.......PLEASE HELP!!!! My excel and computer Skills aren't excellent to please any simple advise would be great.Overview of Copilot solutions and Key Benefits

Copilot Sparkle in Excel missing
Hello everybody, one of my collegues has a problem in Excel Desktop. He is full licensed with Copilot for M365. Everything works fine, but the little icon (known as sparkle) beside a cell in Excel is not showing up. In the browser version, everythings works as expected. In the desktop version he has to use the context menu to reach the Copilot function. This behavior occurs on 2 different installations. Any idea to solve the problem? Thanks for you help. Best regards André
