About This Course

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. AI tools are used in the production of this course, including AI-assisted speech delivery based on the instructor’s own voice. All content, demonstrations, workbooks, and prompts have been personally designed, reviewed, and verified by the instructor to ensure accuracy and practical value.

Copilot in Excel can now read your workbook, write formulas, build reports and even create complete solutions from a single prompt. This course shows you how to use it properly: how to get reliable answers, how to check what it gives you and how to stay in control of your file.

Across 7 sections and 36 lessons, with around 7 hours of video, every lesson comes with a practice workbook so you can follow along and try each prompt yourself. You will work with realistic business data, not toy examples.

What you will cover:

  • Getting started: what Copilot can see, licensing and platforms, and choosing a model.
  • Working with Copilot: Chat, Plan and Edit modes, writing specific prompts and iterating on results.
  • Formulas: everyday edits, dynamic arrays such as FILTER, SORT and VSTACK, and reusable logic with LET, LAMBDA and BYROW.
  • Reporting and analysis: GROUPBY and PIVOTBY reports, charts and PivotTables.

Why this course is different:

  • It is honest about where Copilot gets things wrong, and teaches practical checks so you can trust its output to the right degree.
  • It explains why a prompt works, so you can write your own rather than copying templates.
  • It shows when not to use Copilot, because sometimes a shortcut or a simple formula is quicker.
  • No Python or advanced formula experience is needed. Copilot does the heavy lifting; you learn to direct and review it.

By the end of the course you will be able to hand routine and complex Excel work to Copilot with confidence, knowing how to check the results and reverse any change. Enrol now and start getting more from Excel today.

Who this course is for:

  • Excel users who want Copilot to save them time on everyday formulas, formatting and analysis.
  • Finance, operations, HR and sales professionals who build reports, trackers and models in Excel.
  • Analysts who want to use dynamic arrays, LAMBDA and Python in Excel without learning all the syntax first.
  • Team leads and IT staff rolling out Copilot who need to understand licensing, safe editing and governance.
  • Anyone who has tried Copilot in Excel, found the answers disappointing and wants dependable results.

Grant Gamble has spent over 25 years in IT and technology training, working with businesses across the UK on practical AI adoption. He is CEO of AI Awareness Limited and founder of G Com Solutions Limited, and specialises in helping non-technical professionals move from AI-curious to AI-confident through hands-on, domain-specific training and certification. Grant's view is that AI is not a single tool but a set of capabilities spread across every department, often underused or ungoverned. The organisations making real progress are not the ones running generic awareness programmes; they are the ones mapping specific AI capabilities to specific workflows and giving their people the time and permission to use them. His courses take exactly that approach. His teaching covers practical AI literacy for non-technical professionals, AI skills and workforce readiness, and the governance and responsible use of AI at work. Expect a hands-on style: real business examples, clear explanations of why each technique works, and skills you can apply to your own work straight away.
