The connection
How does Horizon actually get into Excel?
Horizon connects through Excel's official API. Your team approves which records Horizon can use and what it may prepare before the build starts.

What Horizon can prepare
Horizon shows your team table rows, range values, formulas, formatting and supported chart changes for staff review before writing to a workbook.
How work can start
Horizon checks approved workbooks on an agreed schedule or when a surrounding workflow needs the latest figures.
What we confirmed about the Excel connection
- Horizon can use the workbook's existing formulas rather than rebuilding every calculation elsewhere.
- The supported route is for .xlsx workbooks stored in Microsoft cloud storage, not older .xls files on a local drive.
- Changes can be prepared as a clear review pack before any rows, formulas or charts are updated.

Day to day
Use Excel without jumping between systems.
Excel stays in place as the software your team already uses. Your team asks in Teams, Copilot, Claude or ChatGPT, and Horizon answers with only the approved records that request needs.
We connect one workflow first, prove it with your team on real review steps, then expand.

Common questions
Using Horizon with Excel, answered.
What could our team ask Horizon to do with Excel?
Use the tables, formulas and charts your team already trusts without manually copying data between systems. Typical results include a workbook variance and data-quality brief, a cross-system Excel reconciliation, and an Excel change pack ready to approve.
Can our team use Excel from Microsoft Teams?
Yes, after the agreed access is approved. Your team asks Horizon in Teams, Horizon checks the approved Excel information and connected systems, then returns the answer or proposed action for review.
Can Horizon use Excel with Outlook, SharePoint or our other software?
Yes. We design one workflow around Excel and the other approved systems your team relies on, so the result can use the relevant information without staff opening each system separately.
Can Horizon prepare changes in Excel, not just answer questions?
Yes, where Excel supports the agreed action. Horizon prepares the change, shows it to the right person and applies it only under the permissions and review rules agreed for the workflow.
What would we start with in Excel?
We start with one useful, controlled request such as: @Horizon, compare this month's workbook with the prior month and explain the largest movements and missing values. The first version stays narrow enough to test with real staff and real review steps.
What access is needed before work starts?
A Microsoft 365 user or administrator approves the workbooks Horizon may use. OneDrive and SharePoint file permissions continue to control access.
Does Horizon replace Excel?
No. Excel remains the system your team uses. Horizon connects only the approved data and actions needed for the agreed workflow.
How does Horizon keep the Excel workflow safe?
We agree exactly which records, people and actions are in scope. We test one limited workflow with approved examples, keep important changes behind human review and expand only after the pilot is working properly.
The audit costs nothing
