Today, we’re introducing ChatGPT for Excel(opens in a new window) 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 ChatGPTfor 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.
## An AI model optimized for finance workflows
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.
_On OpenAI’s internal investment banking benchmark, which evaluates real-world workflows such as building a three-statement model with proper formatting and citations, performance improved from 43.7% with GPT‑5 to 87.3% with GPT‑5.4 Thinking._
## ChatGPT for Excel in beta: build, update, and analyze spreadsheet models directly in your workbook
We’re introducing ChatGPT for Excelin 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.
##### Known limitations in beta
We are improving ChatGPT for Excel quickly based on user feedback. Some responses may take longer as we optimize performance, and generated outputs may occasionally require cleanup or adjustment to match preferred spreadsheet formatting or layout conventions. ChatGPT can generate and explain formulas, but complex formulas or edge cases may still require manual refinement.
##### Getting started
Starting today, ChatGPT for Excel(opens in a new window) 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.
In Enterprise, Edu, and Teacher workspaces, access is off by default. Admins can enable it for specific users with custom roles and group permissions.
## Financial data integrations in ChatGPT
For teams working in financial workflows, new data integrations and support for proprietary data through building your own apps using Model Context Protocol (MCP)(opens in a new window), make it easier to bring market, company, and internal data into a single workflow in ChatGPT. With GPT‑5.4, ChatGPT can handle longer context and more complex tasks, helping teams move faster on company research, model refreshes, and cited outputs for valuation, diligence, underwriting, and related work.
Simplify research and analysis
Integrations released today—including Moody’s, Dow Jones Factiva, MSCI, Third Bridge, and MT Newswires, with FactSet coming soon—bring market, company, and internal data into a single workflow in ChatGPT, as part of a growing ecosystem of apps. This helps users spend less time gathering inputs to produce cited outputs such as earnings summaries, valuation snapshots, and credit memos faster. Explore apps(opens in a new window) today.
Quickly conduct due diligence
Teams can also use apps with research in ChatGPT to pull from filings, transcripts, decks, and spreadsheets to produce structured, cited outputs that export to PDF or Microsoft Word. Recent updates give users more control over the research process, including the ability to focus on specific websites and data sources, shape the research plan before and during a run, and review sources and citations in a redesigned workspace.
## Security, governance, and control
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:

We’re working closely with financial institutions as they apply ChatGPT across research, underwriting, auditing, client engagement, code modernization, and operations. Across banks, asset managers, and insurance, we’re seeing impact in workflows like due diligence, client experience, and investment research—and we’ll keep learning alongside customers as they scale their AI deployments.

> “ChatGPT has materially accelerated our research and due diligence workflows—from financial analysis and market research to legal review and writing internal memos—while improving consistency across teams. It has expanded our team’s capacity, freeing our investment professionals to focus more time on judgment, debate, and conviction. We’re excited to be early adopters of new capabilities and to help shape how AI transforms financial services in the years ahead.”
