Microsoft rolled out new features for Copilot in Excel aimed at financial teams. It now includes ready-made skills for common tasks, connections to six financial data sources, and full transparency of its actions.
Copilot uses templates to perform tasks like company valuation models or quarterly closes step-by-step instead of improvising. It pulls data directly from sources like CB Insights, PitchBook, FactSet, and S&P Global without manual input.
Before making changes, Copilot shows a detailed plan of affected cells and formulas. All edits are logged and marked as done by Copilot. The update is available for Microsoft 365 Copilot users on Windows, Mac, and browser.

| 5 |  π Sunlight on Your Face Took 100,000 Years
A photon warming your face now began its journey from the Sun's core about 100,000 years ago, when early humans were just leaving Africa and Neanderthals still lived. Inside the Sun, photons collide constantly with electrons, bouncing randomly through dense plasma, making their path trillions of times longer than a straight line.
This slow random walk happens in the Sun's radiative zone, covering 70% of its radius. Photons lose energy step by step, shifting from high-energy gamma rays to visible light by the time they reach the surface. The final stretch through the convective zone takes only months, but the bulk of the journey is a century-long crawl.
