What is Excel Online (Microsoft Graph)?
The Excel Online skill provides a robust interface for AI agents to interact with cloud-hosted spreadsheets in OneDrive and SharePoint. By utilizing the Microsoft Graph API, this skill allows for granular control over workbooks, enabling programmatic data manipulation and structural changes.
