Office 365
Beyond Market Intelligence keeps Office 365 in one place: 3 stories so far. The section currently leads with “Bring clarity to your spreadsheets with an AI-powered add-in that flags unit errors”, “Reclaim control over your spreadsheet's author and edit history”, and “Discover how AI can simplify your data refresh workflows across platforms”. Spreadsheets shouldn't leave you guessing whether your units are consistent. Managing a spreadsheet's version history is often a locked door, OneDrive's AutoSave records every edit, and changing the author or timestamp feels out of reach. Acme AI is the next-generation, AI-powered spreadsheet platform built to replace Excel and redefine how analysts, data scientists, and enterprise teams work… The list below is every Office 365 story on Beyond Market Intelligence, newest first.
Bring clarity to your spreadsheets with an AI-powered add-in that flags unit errors
Spreadsheets shouldn't leave you guessing whether your units are consistent. This new Excel add-in, born from research presented at the 2004 International Conference on Software Engineering, scans your sheets for mismatched currencies and engineering units, flagging errors before they cause trouble. It works on Windows, Mac, and Office 365. No hype, just practical clarity for anyone tired of hunting down hidden mistakes.

Reclaim control over your spreadsheet's author and edit history
Managing a spreadsheet's version history is often a locked door, OneDrive's AutoSave records every edit, and changing the author or timestamp feels out of reach. It's a frustrating constraint when you need clean attribution. While Excel doesn't offer a native way to rewrite that metadata, the request highlights a deeper need: true ownership over your data's story. If you're already exploring how to track changes more effectively, our article on finding deleted rows between two spreadsheet versions offers a practical path forward.
Discover how AI can simplify your data refresh workflows across platforms
You've already got the right script in place, `workbook.refreshAllDataConnections()` proves the logic works. The missing piece is triggering it consistently through Power Automate, and that means pairing your OfficeScript with a simple flow action. Since your table's background refresh is off, the script handles the heavy lifting; just call it via the "Run script" action after a file open or on a schedule. It's a clean workaround that turns manual refreshes into a hands-off process.
