Claude in Excel is really good. Its weird that using Microsoft’s own Excel agent using Claude 4.5 often yields weaker answers, It seems to be because the Excel agent relies on Excel alone (VLOOKUPs, etc) while Claude in Excel does its own analysis and uses Excel for output.”” https://x.com/emollick/status/2014891787051999566
