We're seeing instances of more than 1,200 people in a single Excel workbook at one time, including 500 making direct edits. Excel multi-player usage has more than tripled over the past four years. Tracking scenarios make up some of the largest categories of workbooks we see in Excel, which is exactly where multi-player is so critical. It works across desktop, web, and mobile, and we continue to invest in making these higher-scale use cases more robust. As agents do more work in Excel, people and agents will be working in the workbook together, pushing this foundation to completely new levels of scale.

My favorite Excel Copilot prompt is "What is this workbook about?" I get workbooks shared with me all the time. When I don't have a lot of context on one, this is often the easiest way to get oriented. Way faster than clicking through every tab.

Last month I met up with Seahawks Analyst Brian Eayrs to see how Copilot in Excel is helping inform their gameday decisions. Getting to see how my favorite team is using a product I've spent so much of my career working on was an amazing experience.
