there’s only like two sentences between “excel is incredibly important to worldwide business” and “we have a 57% accuracy rate”! What are we doing!
![Microsoft has taken a gradual approach to adding Al elements to Excel, particularly because the data it handles powers some of the most important parts of businesses worldwide. "[Agent Mode] lets you build sheets that are auditable, refreshable, and verifiable," Chauhan says. "We have spent a ton of time making sure that the validation loop on all of these sub-agents is pretty tight."
Microsoft says its Agent Mode in Excel has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in SpreadsheetBench, a benchmark for evaluating an Al model's ability to edit real world spreadsheets. This result places Agent Mode above Shortcut.ai, ChatGPT agent with xIsx support, and Claude Files Opus 4.1. It's still behind the human accuracy of 71.3 percent, though.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sbiggn5vgn5dzf5cgt7mconf/bafkreifmgob5h3zxv6yu4m52rzctgmfkjruwuudo54rkbj2mq6htxvyjcy@jpeg)
