AI Is Finally Good at Spreadsheets (Claude for Excel)

Okay, this is crazy. Let me just show you what it did. If you work a lot in spreadsheets and have been hoping that AI would be better at Excel, I have good news. This is the video for you. Until now, LLMs and AI have gotten really good at writing, but for spreadsheets and

Excel, we had to copy and paste back and forth between the LLM and our spreadsheets. This brings multi-page edits into Excel. In this quick video, we're going to talk about Claude for Excel, and this was actually announced back in October, but it was majorly overlooked. In my opinion, this is a huge unlock. And I'll be a completely

honest, I hate spreadsheets. I don't like Excel, I don't like sheets. I use them all the time. And since AI and ChatGPT came in the scene, it's definitely helped, but it was still very limited. Claude for Excel is a whole different game. And let me stop you right there. You might say that Gemini 3

exists in Google Sheets. You might say that Copilot exists. Well, Gemini 3 in Google Sheets can only modify the sheet it's on, meaning it can't modify the whole workbook. And Copilot in Excel isn't that good. It's pretty rigid, never liked it. But Claude for Excel with Opus 4.5 is that good that we're

going to talk about it right now. So, first of all, the thing that looks the best to me is the debug and fix errors, cuz I've written multiple formulas that didn't work out so great. They were multi-page formulas, and it was just a nightmare to figure out. Besides that, building models or existing templates is

great. Right now, it's only available for users of Claude Max, Claude Team, or Claude Enterprise, but I'm sure it'll come out soon to everyone. You click here to install it. I'll put the link to download it in the description. It takes you to a Microsoft Marketplace where you can download it as an extension. And
