ChatGPT & AI for Microsoft Excel (Udemy.com)

Learn ChatGPT + AI for Excel: Faster, Smarter, More Accurate Data on Microsoft Excel with Artificial Intelligence

Created by: Video School

Last updated July 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 4,207 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in July 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a short course, 3.4 hours across 51 lectures, about using ChatGPT as a helper inside Excel. It starts with Excel's own built-in AI tools, then moves through formulas, advanced formulas, data cleaning, reporting and macros. Video School runs it with Alan Murray and Phil Ebiner, and more than 19,800 students have joined. It is labeled intermediate, but the syllabus and requirements point to people who know the basics and want a faster way to get formulas written.

Most of the 4,207 ratings are four or five stars. Happy reviewers talk about easy explanations and using what they learned at work right away. One says the examples fit their job well. The teaching is described as clear, though one reviewer found the talk speed a bit slow. The complaints are practical. Several say sections 7 and 8 repeat the same lessons, so some titles do not match the content. One wants clearer guidance on the practice files, and another lost half an hour hunting for Flash Fill in their Excel version.

The lower reviews say it stays basic, closer to how to prompt ChatGPT than how to build complex formulas. That is fair for 3.4 hours. The course was last updated in July 2026, so it is current. One reviewer used Copilot because their employer blocks ChatGPT and had no trouble. It is worth a look as a quick, practical start. Anyone after depth in Excel itself should look elsewhere.

Best forOffice workers who know basic Excel and want ChatGPT to write formulas, clean data and draft macros for them.
Skip it ifYou want deep formula theory or advanced Excel modeling, since reviewers call this a basic course with little Excel depth.

Pros

  • Short at 3.4 hours, easy to finish and start applying at work
  • Covers formulas, data cleaning, reporting and macros, plus Excel's built-in AI tools
  • Reviewers say explanations are easy to follow, with examples that fit real jobs
  • Updated in July 2026, and one reviewer got by using Copilot instead of ChatGPT

Cons

  • Reviewers report sections 7 and 8 repeat lessons, so some titles don't match the content
  • Stays basic on complex formulas and Excel depth, per the one and three star reviews
  • Little guidance on using practice files or which Excel versions have Flash Fill
Great course. Incredible seeing how ChatGPT can help with Excel. And already starting applying at work what I've learned in this course.
Jorge Alberch, a student

Labeled intermediate, but it really suits beginners and casual users who know basic Excel and want ChatGPT shortcuts.

By Don Fitch on 8/31/2026

Course is very helpful. It has been some years since I used Excel much so doing some catch up, using ChatGPT in Excel as explainer and reviewer. I could use more direction on how to use practice files.

By Syatwang@yahoo.com on 7/15/2026

Very informative with examples and detail explanations. The half missing star is talk speed a bit slow and loud when hit enter key (to me) in earlier video sessions.

By Carmen Davis on 7/13/2026

I have been using ChatGPT to help me with content for my YouTube channel and I use Excel to track what I have done and where files are located on my hard drive. I've been pretty impressed with ChatGPT and of course Excel, so putting them together is like a hotdog and a bun, or salt and pepper.

By Jorge Alberch on 5/28/2026

Great course. Incredible seeing how ChatGPT can help with Excel. And already starting applying at work what I've learned in this course.

By Reiko Mito on 5/25/2026

Very easy to follow and understand. I used co-pilot instead of ChatGPT as the company I work for does not allow it. Had no problem although Co-pilot is a bit slow

By Zama Sunduza on 5/14/2026

Very easy to understand and lecture takes everything step by step without rushing and he always shows you different ways of applying things

By John Faber on 5/4/2026

As an older guy, AI obviously is something new to me. I'm not sure if its good or bad yet, but by taking this course I hope to have a better understanding of how we can use it for the betterment of our employment.

By Shreya Koteshwar on 4/1/2026

The course was very good overall. Great learning throughout. However, video numbers 34-38 which were supposed to be about Data analysis with ChatGPT were a repetition of video numbers 39-43 which are about ChatGPT and Macros. Will you be able to replace 34-38 with the correct videos please?

By Pravin Kashinath Katare on 11/12/2025

This course is very helpful to understand the use of ChatGPT to work on complex excel work. Literally, this course made my excel work easy. Thank you

By Glen Tibaldeo on 10/16/2025

A very eye-opening course to all the super-complex things you can do with Excel without knowing formulas or VBA. It's almost like any beginner with some exposure to Excel can be a power user now.
