Microsoft adds reusable skills and finance data connectors to Copilot in Excel by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft is giving Copilot in Excel a collection of new features aimed squarely at finance teams. The update introduces reusable instructions for common tasks, connections to services such as FactSet and Morningstar, and a better way to review what Copilot intends to do before it starts changing a workbook. The most interesting addition is 'Skills' finally coming to Copilot in Excel. Skills let companies teach Copilot how to handle a recurring process, so employees do not need to write the same detailed prompt every month. Users can create skills that can specify the steps Copilot should follow, along with the required layout, formulas, and formatting. Microsoft says users can create their own skills by saving a SKILL.md file in OneDrive. The file is written using Markdown and tells Copilot when and how to perform the task. Once it is available, a user can select the skill in the Copilot pane or mention it in a prompt using the @ symbol. There is also a library of prebuilt finance skills for customers who do not want to create their own. Microsoft plans to let developers distribute additional skills through the Microsoft Marketplace and the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, with LSEG, Ramp, Rogo, samaya.ai, Velixo, and Vena among the first partners involved. The company says that it is also expanding the external data that Copilot can access from inside Excel. New connectors are being added for CB Insights, Daloopa, FactSet, Morningstar, PitchBook, and S&P Global data through technology developed by Kensho. There is a catch, however. Accessing these services may require a separate subscription from the relevant data provider, so a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence will not necessarily unlock all of them. FactSet is also only available in preview for now, with general availability planned for July. Microsoft is also trying to make Copilot’s workbook edits easier to inspect. Users can switch to a planning mode that shows which sheets, cell ranges, formulas, and assumptions Copilot intends to work with before it begins making changes. Once the work is complete, the Show Changes pane can distinguish edits made by Copilot from those made by human collaborators. The update continues Microsoft’s push to turn Excel Copilot from a chatbot into an agent that can carry out longer tasks. The company previously added an Agent Mode capable of planning and completing multi-step Excel work. Microsoft also recently acquired financial AI startup Fintool, another indication that finance is becoming a key target for its Excel AI strategy. Prebuilt skills, personalization, workbook rules, external connectors, planning mode, and Copilot attribution in Show Changes are generally available to Microsoft 365 Copilot customers using Excel on the web, Windows, and macOS. Custom skills are initially available to Microsoft 365 Insiders on Windows and Mac starting today. Microsoft plans to make them generally available across Windows, Mac, and the web over the next month. Partner-built skills are expected during the third quarter of the year. Availability may still differ depending on region and licensing. -

Exactly. They serve different (although related) purposes. -

Do not enter the code under any circumstances, or you will be sorry. It's definitely and most likely a hacking attempt. That happened to me a couple of years ago, and I kept receiving those prompts for months. It's simply the attacker trying to get you tired of the constant requests, so you just give up and enter the code, so they can log in to your account. -

Question
seb86
I am trying to update a table row by adding photos. Now everything in the code below works, except it cannot work fully until I can get the $name = $_GET['name']; to read from the row in the table. If someone can help get it to detect this part then the rest should work.
These are the errors I get because I do not have the name displaying from the property details when creating the directory.
If you read the code below carefully you will see that the other POST fields are there becuase they are not to be overwritten.
This is the full page:-
<? $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM properties WHERE property_id='$id' AND username = '$session->username'"); while($propertyRow = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) { $id = $propertyRow['property_id']; $status = $propertyRow['status']; $saletype = $propertyRow['sale_type']; $category = $propertyRow['category']; $name = $propertyRow['name']; $address = $propertyRow['address']; $village = $propertyRow['village']; $long = $propertyRow['long']; $lat = $propertyRow['lat']; $department = $propertyRow['department']; $postcode = $propertyRow['postcode']; $price = $propertyRow['price']; $featured = $propertyRow['featured']; $dateentered = $propertyRow['date_entered']; $sec = substr($propertyRow['date_entered'],17,2); $minute= substr($propertyRow['date_entered'],14,2); $hour = substr($propertyRow['date_entered'],11,2); $day = substr($propertyRow['date_entered'],8,2); $month = substr($propertyRow['date_entered'],5,2); $year = substr($propertyRow['date_entered'],0,4); $date_entered = $day."/".$month."/".$year."

if($_GET['mode'] == "update") { $id = $_GET['property_id']; $name = $_GET['name']; ///// Upload Photos ///// foreach ($_FILES["photo"]["error"] as $key => $error) { if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK){ $tmp_name = $_FILES["photo"]["tmp_name"][$key]; $photo = $_FILES["photo"]["file"][$key]; mkdir("$SITEurl/photos/properties/$session->username/$name",0777); $file = preg_replace("/([^a-z0-9])+/i", "-", $photo); move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$SITEurl/photo/properties/$session->username/$name"); chmod("$SITEurl/photo/properties/$session->username/$name", 0777); $picno = $key; $PHOTO[] = $photo; $sqlphoto = "UPDATE properties SET photo$picno = '$name' WHERE property_id = '$id'"; if(@mysql_query($sqlphoto)){ $msg = "Photo ".$picno." ".$photo." uploaded.</br>"; }else{ echo mysql_error(); } } }Now if the error was to show again because of something else the warning should read like this:-
Warning: mkdir(http://www.site.com/photos/properties/username/name) [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in
/home/account/public_html/panel/write-photos.php on line 158
Warning: move_uploaded_file(http://www.site.com/photo/properties/username/name) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open

Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: No such file or directory in /home/account/public_html/panel/write-photos.php on line 161
Notice name in bold, that part is not reading from the table, that is whats missing. I would really like to get this to work.
