In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Microsoft Copilot Desktop's Voice and Vision features to analyze Google Sheets or Excel data hands-free, asking questions aloud and getting instant insights without typing formulas.
Step-by-step:
1) Install Microsoft Copilot from Microsoft Store (Windows) or App Store (macOS 14.0+/M1 chip), open the app, and sign in with your Microsoft account
2) Go to Settings via profile icon, toggle on “Voice Mode” and “Copilot Vision,” then open your Google Sheets/Excel file in the browser
3) Say “Hey Copilot,” click the specs icon (eyeglasses) on the toolbar to enable Vision mode — Copilot scans and confirms it sees your data
4) Ask analysis questions: “What’s the most revenue-generating product?” or “Calculate total revenue” - Copilot highlights cells and explains calculations
5) Close the toolbar, then prompt: “Draft a professional analysis report with Executive Summary, Top Performers table, and Key Insights”
