Claude in Excel 365: Intelligent analysis for work (Claude in Excel 365 - An Independent Guide Book 1)

Claude in Excel 365 is a practical guide for office professionals who want to turn Excel into a genuine analysis tool with the help of Claude, the AI assistant integrated into Microsoft 365.

Written for readers with no prior experience using AI tools, the book explains how to activate the Claude panel, ask the right questions, and get consistent, usable results — moving from simple formulas to multi-step data analysis without needing to become a programmer.

Across eighteen chapters, you will learn to diagnose and clean messy spreadsheets, build and understand formulas by describing what you need instead of memorizing syntax, design pivot tables and charts through plain-language instructions, run scenario analysis and projections, and automate repetitive tasks with on-demand macros. Three complete case studies — a monthly sales report, inventory control, and project tracking — walk through the full workflow from raw data to a finished, presentation-ready result.

The book also covers the questions every office worker eventually runs into: when Claude is the right tool and when it isn't, how to verify AI-generated results before trusting them, and how to handle sensitive company data responsibly.

Written in a direct, hands-on style built around real office scenarios rather than abstract examples, this guide is meant to be used with Excel open beside it — one exercise at a time.
