Having trouble with Copilot in Excel. Here are a few things you can check to resolve the issue:

File Storage: Ensure that your Excel file is stored on OneDrive for Business or SharePoint Online. Copilot for Excel only works with files stored in the cloud, not with local or unsaved files.

Workbook Protection: Check if there are any Protect Workbook options set in your Excel file. If the workbook is protected, the Copilot button might not enable.

Data Formatting: Make sure that your data in the spreadsheet is formatted as a table. Copilot works specifically on data in tables and can suggest and convert selected ranges into tables.

Connection Issues: Sometimes, connection issues can cause problems with Copilot. Ensure that your internet connection is stable and try restarting Excel and your computer.
