Copilot mistakes in Excel formulas

Hi John Mol,

While Copilot can help accelerate spreadsheet creation and formula generation, AI-generated content should be reviewed and validated before it is used for financial analysis or reporting. In some cases, Copilot may produce formulas that do not fully align with the intended accounting structure or business logic, requiring manual verification and adjustment.

If the issue is reproducible, it may be helpful to:

1. Save a copy of the workbook containing the incorrect formulas.
2. Compare the generated formulas with the expected calculations to identify specific discrepancies.
3. Submit feedback directly through Copilot in Excel, including examples of the formulas and the expected results.
4. If the behavior is impacting your work, contact Microsoft Support and provide the workbook details along with steps to reproduce the issue.

Please note that this is a user-to-user support forum. Moderators, contributors including external Microsoft employees cannot directly intervene in Microsoft product features or access back-end systems. Our role is limited to providing technical guidance on reported issues, requests, or ideas.

Feedback such as yours is valuable because it helps identify scenarios where Copilot responses may benefit from further refinement, particularly for structured financial models and spreadsheet calculations.
