To simplify this task.

00:00:08

I want to create a table in an Excel file

00:00:11

that I can populate to ensure effective follow up and organization

00:00:15

can copilot help save me time.

00:00:19

Let's find out using copilot chat.

00:00:22

As Copilot in Excel currently cannot

00:00:24

synthesize data from multiple documents directly

00:00:27

in a new copilot chat conversation.

00:00:29

I craft a precise prompt specifying my ultimate goal

00:00:33

and my need to identify the key fields required for effective tracking.

00:00:38

After sending my request to copilot,

00:00:40

the A I generates a prioritized list of fields to include

00:00:44

the suggestions seem relevant and comprehensive.

00:00:48

Next,

00:00:48

I'll upload several invoices in PDF format

00:00:51

from different suppliers for copilot to analyze,

00:00:54

identify and extract the relevant fields, linking them to the labels suggested.

00:00:59

Earlier in the conversation, I attach four files at once.

00:01:02

Let them upload and allow co-pilot to handle the work.

00:01:06

Copilot responds by identifying the key fields in each

00:01:09

PDF and aligning them with the previously defined labels.

00:01:13

This is incredibly helpful beneath the response.

00:01:16

I notice a suggested prompt to generate an

00:01:19

Excel table automatically with the corresponding fields.

00:01:22

Let's see how that works.

00:01:25

The result is a structured layout that looks

00:01:27

ready for copy pasting directly into Excel.

00:01:30

Perfect.

00:01:31

However, I notice an issue with formatting, particularly with dates

00:01:36

as Excel expects slashes instead of periods as separators.

00:01:40

I'll ask my A I assistant to adjust the

00:01:43

date and number formats to ensure compatibility with Excel.

00:01:46

As soon as I ask Copilot corrects the formatting instantly.

00:01:50

Now I copy the result and paste the table into an Excel workbook. It's seamless.

00:01:55

While the structure is solid,

00:01:57

I'll finalize the organization and personalization manually

00:02:00

using the table format in Excel.

00:02:02

This will also enable me to leverage Copilot in Excel for further analysis.

00:02:06

If needed,

00:02:07

I can even use Copilot in Excel to generate a pivot table for deeper insights.

00:02:12

It's important to double check the entire process we just reviewed

00:02:16

as some fields might be incorrectly populated or left blank.

00:02:21

With this example.

00:02:22

Copilot once again proves that while it doesn't handle every aspect,

00:02:26

the benefits are clear, the time savings alone are invaluable for me.
