Excel Tutorial: How to quickly and safely remove duplicates

The OFFSET function in Excel creates a flexible reference. Instead of fixing =SUM(B5:B7), the function finds the range itself, e.g., for the "last 3 months". Ideal for dynamic charts or dashboards that grow automatically.
Mastering the INDIRECT function in Excel
The INDIRECT function in Excel converts text into a real reference. Instead of manually typing =January!E10, use =INDIRECT(A2 & "!E10"), where A2 contains 'January'. This allows you to easily create dynamic summaries for multiple worksheets.
From assistant to agent: Microsoft’s Copilot
Copilot is growing up: Microsoft's AI is no longer an assistant, but a proactive agent. With "Vision," it sees your Windows desktop; in M365, it analyzes data as a "Researcher"; and in GitHub, it autonomously corrects code. The biggest update yet.
