One Excel AI tool for the whole job: templates, plain-English refinement, 27 instant tools and a Formula Assistant, with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok doing the AI work.

Chat can make a spreadsheet. Excel Studio is for working with one: generating it properly, understanding a file you already have, and getting the formulas right.
Start creating spreadsheetsGenerate
Describe what you need, pick a template, a style preset and a row count. The AI builds formatted columns, formulas, summary rows and charts where appropriate.
Refine
"Add a column that calculates the 30-day average." The AI modifies only the parts you asked about and rebuilds the file.
Profile
Upload an .xlsx, .csv or .tsv file (up to 10 MB) to see row and column counts, duplicate rows, missing values and per-column min, max and mean. Free after sign-in.
Instant tools
Clean, add formula columns, format, reshape and validate your data with one click. No AI call is needed, and the tools are free after sign-in.
Formula Assistant
The exact formula, a step-by-step explanation, edge-case warnings and alternatives. Paste your headers for real ranges.
Export
Check the live HTML preview, then download the format you need.
Start from a sentence or from a file you already have. Either way you preview the result before anything is downloaded.
Describe a new workbook and pick a template, style preset and row count. Or upload an existing .xlsx, .csv or .tsv file and Excel Studio profiles it automatically. Save older .xls files as .xlsx first.
For a generated workbook, describe changes in the Refine panel and the AI rebuilds only those parts. For an uploaded file, click instant tools to clean, format, add formula columns or reshape it.
A live HTML preview shows the spreadsheet before you download it. Keep refining as many times as you need, then export the file.
Six everyday jobs, with the kind of instruction that gets them done. Examples are illustrative.
Describe the business, period and columns. The AI plans the sheets and builds formatted columns, formulas, summary rows and charts where they help.
Ask for derived columns in plain language: averages, growth, margins or weighted scores. The Refine panel changes only what you asked about.
Add a chart or a summary sheet to a generated workbook without rebuilding everything else.
Change colours, headers and layout until the file is ready to send to a client or your accountant.
The Formula Assistant returns the exact formula with an explanation, edge-case warnings and alternatives.
Profile an .xlsx or .csv on upload, then fix what it finds with instant tools: duplicates, dates, blanks, split or merged columns.
"Make me a Q3 budget spreadsheet" works in any MultipleChat conversation and returns a download link. Open Excel Studio when you want templates, style presets, side-by-side previews and several rounds of revisions.
In chat, ChatGPT, Claude or MultipleChat sandboxes run code on an uploaded spreadsheet to calculate totals, find trends and draw charts. ChatGPT and Claude sandboxes need an eligible paid plan.
AI data analysis guide →Some spreadsheet jobs do not need AI at all. Upload a file on the Tools tab and click a card: deduplication, date fixes, running totals, table formatting and pivots run instantly, without an AI call and without using AI credits.

Excel Studio is strongest when it becomes the start of a real business deliverable: clean the numbers, write the document, then present the result.
Generate a workbook, or upload an XLSX, CSV or TSV file to profile it and clean it with instant tools. Export XLSX, CSV or TSV.
Use Excel Studio →Turn cleaned data, notes, and source material into reports, proposals, summaries, briefs, whitepapers, DOCX, PDF, Markdown, or HTML.
Open Document Studio →Use your report, research, or spreadsheet findings as source material for an editable PPTX deck with layouts and speaker notes.
Create a presentation →Why this matters: many users do not want another chatbot tab. They want a finished file: a cleaned spreadsheet, a written business document, or a deck they can send to a client.
Profiling and instant tools work without calling an AI model. When you ask the AI to generate or refine a workbook, your request goes to the model you selected.
Cleaning, formatting and reshaping run without an AI call
Application and file storage on Microsoft Azure, Switzerland North and West
Stored data is encrypted with AES-256 and access is logged

The practical details people ask about Excel Studio.
Excel AI means using an AI model to build, clean or explain spreadsheets. In MultipleChat, Excel Studio is the Excel AI workspace: it generates workbooks from a plain-language description, profiles files you upload, runs 27 instant tools and includes a Formula Assistant that writes and explains Excel formulas.
It is a separate web workspace. You create or clean the spreadsheet in Excel Studio, check the live preview, and download an .xlsx file that opens in Excel. If you want an assistant inside the Excel window, Microsoft offers Copilot in Excel for Microsoft 365.
Workbooks from 13 templates: Budget Tracker, Profit & Loss Statement, Cash Flow Forecast, Loan Amortization, Invoice, Sales Pipeline / CRM, Employee Roster, Inventory Tracker, Project Tracker, OKR / KPI Scorecard, Comparison Matrix, Expense Report and Custom / Freeform. Each comes with formatted columns, formulas, summary rows and charts where appropriate.
Yes. Upload an .xlsx, .csv or .tsv file (save older .xls files as .xlsx first) and Excel Studio profiles it automatically: row count, column count, duplicate rows, missing values and per-column min, max and mean. To change the file, use the 27 instant tools for cleaning, formulas, formatting, reshaping and validation. Instant tools handle files up to 10 MB and 20,000 cells.
No. The 27 instant tools, such as Remove Duplicates, Fix Dates, Running Total, Auto-format as Table and Pivot / Summarize, run without an AI call, so they do not use AI credits. They are free after sign-in.
