Overview:
This session is built around the questions real users are actually asking about Claude in Excel. Rather than a straight lecture, it's a practical, Q&A-driven session covering the biggest challenges people run into - formulas that don't behave as expected, prompts that don't produce reliable results, confusion about what Claude can see in a workbook, and uncertainty about how to fit Claude into an existing Excel workflow.
You'll see the most common questions from live audiences answered directly, along with the best practices that experienced users rely on to get consistent, trustworthy results. Bring your own challenges, or just listen in as real user problems are worked through step by step. Whether you're stuck on a specific issue or simply want to pick up the habits that separate confident Claude-in-Excel users from frustrated ones, this session gives you direct answers and field-tested best practices you can start using immediately.
