With all the excitement around AI, management (especially non-technical business units) are now asking for a chat-based interface to interact with this data and generate charts on demand—similar to the AI demos you see everywhere.I’ve pointed out that Excel Copilot...

Mosquitoes are the main food source of some animals, which leads them to die out. Then those animals are the food source of other animals, etc. etc..

This JS "library" contains one function:
