Chapitres :

  1. Introduction to Copilot in Excel
    In this tutorial, we will explore how Copilot can assist with Excel table formatting. The use of Copilot aims to streamline the process of organizing and presenting data effectively.
  2. Accessing the Copilot Pane
    As soon as I open a workbook containing data, I can access the Copilot pane by clicking the icon in the ribbon. This feature provides a user-friendly interface for formatting tasks.
  3. Formatting Data as a Table
    The first step is to format the data as a table, which is essential for more efficient analysis. This allows for better organization and manipulation of data within Excel.
  4. Adjusting Rows and Columns
    Next, I want to adjust the rows and columns to fit the data properly. After a brief moment, Copilot suggests the action, and all I need to do is apply it. This feature simplifies the formatting process.
  5. Enhancing Table Appearance
    I can also request changes to the font size, giving my table a more polished look. This customization helps in making the data more readable and visually appealing.
  6. Highlighting Specific Values
    Next, I want to focus on highlighting specific values in my data. For example, I can ask Copilot to highlight any null values in the table. Additionally, it suggests formatting the top 10 values in the September column.
  7. Undoing Actions
    If the result isn’t what I expected, I can easily undo the action and try again. This flexibility allows users to experiment with different formatting options without the fear of making permanent changes.
  8. Applying Actions Across the Table
    However, if I ask Copilot to apply the same action across the entire table, it processes each column individually. This shows that while Copilot can handle formatting tasks, there are some limitations when it comes to consistency across tables.
  9. Exploring Other Formatting Options
    Other formatting options, such as applying data bars, are also available and can be useful for quick visual insights. This feature is something I rely on regularly to enhance data interpretation.
  10. Conclusion
    In summary, Copilot is capable of managing certain formatting tasks, but as of now, it doesn’t provide a dramatic improvement over manual formatting. Users should consider its capabilities and limitations when deciding how to approach table formatting in Excel.

Neste tutorial,
00:00:04
exploraremos como o co-piloto pode ajudar na formatação de tabelas do Excel.
00:00:09
Assim que abrir uma pasta de trabalho contendo dados,
00:00:12
Posso aceder ao painel do copiloto clicando no ícone na faixa de opções.
00:00:18
O primeiro passo é formatar os dados como uma tabela,
00:00:21
o que é essencial para uma análise mais eficiente.
00:00:24
Agora quero ajustar as linhas e colunas para ajustarem corretamente os dados.
00:00:29
Depois de um breve momento, o Copilot sugere a acção, e tudo o que tenho de fazer é aplicá-la.
00:00:35
Também posso solicitar alterações no tamanho da fonte, dando à minha mesa um aspeto mais polido.
00:00:40
Em seguida, quero focar-me em realçar valores específicos nos meus dados.
00:00:44
Por exemplo,
00:00:45
Posso pedir ao copiloto que destaque quaisquer valores nulos na tabela.
00:00:50
Sugere mesmo a formatação dos 10 melhores valores na coluna de setembro.
00:00:55
Se o resultado não for o que esperava, posso facilmente desfazer a ação e tentar novamente.
00:01:00
No entanto, se eu pedir ao copiloto que aplique a mesma acção em toda a mesa,
00:01:05
processa cada coluna individualmente.
00:01:08
Isto mostra que, embora o copiloto possa lidar com tarefas de formatação,
00:01:11
existem algumas limitações quando se trata de consistência entre tabelas.
00:01:15
Outras opções de formatação,
00:01:16
tais como a aplicação de barras de dados também estão disponíveis
00:01:20
e pode ser útil para insights visuais rápidos,
00:01:22
algo em que confio regularmente
00:01:25
em resumo, o copiloto é capaz de gerir determinadas tarefas de formatação,
00:01:29
mas a partir de agora não fornece uma melhoria dramática em relação à formatação manual.
