Introducing ChatGPT for Excel and new financial data integrations

Use ChatGPT in Excel to build, update, and analyze spreadsheets faster, and new integrations in ChatGPT for financial workflows.

Today, we’re introducing ** ChatGPT for Excel** in beta, an Excel add-in that brings ChatGPT directly into workbooks to help build and update models, run scenarios, and generate outputs based on cells and formulas. Powered by GPT‑5.4, it helps users do more in Excel, supports power users in moving faster, and can improve consistency across teams.

We’re also adding financial data integrations directly in ChatGPT for FactSet, Dow Jones Factiva, LSEG, Daloopa, S&P Global, and more, making it easier to work with trusted financial data inside ChatGPT. Together, these capabilities help teams spend less time on manual work and more time on analysis, decisions, and execution.

GPT‑5.4 (as GPT‑5.4 Thinking) is available today in ChatGPT, Codex, and the API. It’s our most advanced model, ideal for financial reasoning and Excel-based modeling. We’ve worked closely with industry practitioners to improve GPT‑5.4 on real-world finance workflows that often take analysts hours or days to complete, including financial modeling, scenario analysis, data extraction, and long-form research. The result is stronger performance on the tasks finance professionals rely on every day.

We’re introducing ChatGPT for Excel in beta—a version of ChatGPT embedded directly in spreadsheets that can build, analyze, and update models using the same formulas and structures teams already rely on. Analysts, strategists, researchers, and accountants can move faster, reduce manual work, and focus on judgment and decision-making instead of writing formulas, tracing links, and fixing models.

Build and update spreadsheet models faster. Instead of building spreadsheet models or running scenario analysis manually, teams can describe what they need in plain language, and ChatGPT will create or update live Excel models directly in the workbook. Teams can run data analysis, reporting, inventory management, budgeting—all while preserving structure, formulas, and assumptions in a formatted, Excel-native workbook.

Get insights from large spreadsheets without manual reconciliation. ChatGPT can reason across workbooks, understand how sheets and formulas connect across the model, explain why outputs changed, trace and fix errors, and show how assumptions flow through a model. This is especially useful when users inherit existing templates, need to get up to speed quickly, or want to understand and test a workbook before making decisions.

Follow the logic and trust the outputs. ChatGPT explains what it’s doing as it works and links answers to the exact cells it references and updates. Because calculations run directly in Excel, teams can trace assumptions, audit formulas, and verify how results were produced. Before making changes to a workbook, ChatGPT asks for permission, so users can review each step and undo edits if needed.

Starting today, ChatGPT for Excel in beta is rolling out for ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, Edu, Teachers, Pro, and Plus users in the U.S., Canada, and Australia. ChatGPT for Google Sheets is coming soon.

For organizations adopting ChatGPT at work, ChatGPT Enterprise includes the security, governance, and access controls needed to use ChatGPT confidently, especially in regulated or data-sensitive environments:

• Manage and monitor access with RBAC, SAML SSO, SCIM, and audit logs.
• Protect firm data with encryption in transit with TLS 1.2+ and at rest with AES-256.
• By default, data shared with ChatGPT Enterprise is not used to train or improve our models.
