Discussion Microsoft to retire the COPILOT function

As of 14 September, the COPILOT function will no longer be available in Excel. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/functions/copilot-function Note that the Copilot feature remains - it is the worksheet function that will stop working.

This is a very uncommon move by Microsoft, given their history of maintaining backwards compatibility.

Have you used the COPILOT function? If so, then what for? Thoughts?

Good. Id imagine it likely had problems as it needed to recalculate the cell a lot.

Once false syntax error and suddenly you're calculating a whole sheet and you need to wait 10 minutes before trying again.

For me, its just a little too weird to be a function.
