Top 10 New Features in Excel 2025

Microsoft Excel is taking data analysis to the next level! From powerful Python integration to AI-driven data cleaning, these features will save you time and effort. Let’s explore 10 innovations that make working with spreadsheets easier, more efficient, and accessible to everyone.

1. Copilot Integration with Python – Boundless Analysis

Until now, complex analyses required external tools like Jupyter Notebook or Power BI. But now? Excel speaks the language of data—Python! You can write Python scripts directly in cells, combining the power of Excel with one of the most popular programming languages for analysis.

Example:
=PYTHON(“import NumPy as np; np. mean(A1:A10)”)

Forget complicated formulas—call in statistics with just one line of code!

2. “Clean Data” – Intelligent Data Cleaning

No more tedious space trimming and fixing inconsistencies! With “Clean Data,” Excel automatically detects and corrects errors in seconds. Different spellings like “New York,” “new york,” and “ NEW YORK ”? Done—everything is now standardized!

3. GROUPBY –Summarize Data with a Single Formula

Creating pivot tables used to be a hassle. With GROUPBY? One line, and Excel does the rest!

Example:
=GROUPBY(A1:A10, B1:B10, SUM)

Sales by city, summed up in seconds—it doesn’t get any easier than this!

4. PIVOTBY – Advanced Pivot Tables

Dynamic pivot tables that don’t require manual refreshing? PIVOTBY makes your data analysis more intuitive than ever.

Example:
=PIVOTBY(A1:A20, B1:B20, C1:C20, SUM)

Your data now knows how to organize itself!

 5. Focus Cell – Error-Free Work in Large Tables

When working with massive tables, it’s easy to get lost. Focus Cell highlights the active row and column, so you always know exactly where you are. Say goodbye to data entry mistakes!

6. Accessibility Assistant – Making Spreadsheets Inclusive

Excel now prioritizes accessibility! If colors have low contrast or images lack alternative text, Accessibility Assistant will notify you. This ensures your spreadsheets are user-friendly for everyone.

7. Personalized View Sharing – Better Collaboration

Everyone on your team sees only the data they need, without altering others’ views. Finance sees the numbers, marketing sees the trends—Excel becomes a true command center!

8. Regular Expressions (REGEX) – Powerful Text Processing

Edit text like a pro! With new REGEX functions, Excel can now find and modify specific text patterns.

Example:
=REGEX(A1, “\d+”, “”)

Remove all numbers from text fields with a single command!

9. Real-Time Automatic Translations

Is your spreadsheet in English? Excel can now automatically translate it into other languages! This brings a whole new level to multilingual data handling.

10. Copilot с Power Query – Smarter Data Analysis

Complex Power Query requests can now be made using natural language. Just type:
“Show me all sales over $10,000 for 2024,” and Copilot will do the rest!

Excel 2025 not only makes working with data easier, but turns it into a true technological adventure! Everything we need is just a click away – fast, easy, and convenient.
And perhaps success belongs to those who dare to experiment, learn, and quickly embrace the innovations that are being offered to us.
