We're going to have a look at the current Copilot integration in Microsoft Excel this month for those that already have access to this or are intrigued about the sorts of things it's possible to do with it. Let's dive in... 

Microsoft is getting close to finalising the list of new features being added to Windows 11. In the next couple of months or so, they will be releasing what's technically known as the "24H2" update. So what can we expect to find once we've installed it?
