Imagine being able to harness the capabilities of Ollama directly within Microsoft Excel. Sounds like a dream come true, right? Well, I’ve got some exciting news for you – I’ve built an Excel add-in that connects Ollama with Excel, allowing you to access its features without ever leaving your spreadsheet.
The add-in is incredibly user-friendly. Simply write a function like =ollama(A1), assuming your prompt is in cell A1. You can then drag the function to run on multiple cells, making it easy to work with large datasets. Plus, you can specify system instructions, temperature, and model as arguments, either globally or specific to your prompts.
What does this mean for you? It means you can tap into Ollama’s capabilities without having to switch between applications. Your data remains safely within Excel, and you can take advantage of Ollama’s features without any hassle. If you’re curious to learn more, I’ve written a detailed post about the add-in, which you can find here: https://www.listendata.com/2025/08/ollama-in-excel.html.
So, what do you think? Are you excited to try out this new add-in and see how it can streamline your workflow?
