Snowflake CoCo for Excel and Google Sheets: Governed AI
Snowflake, Thursday, November 5th, 2026
Snowflake launched CoCo for Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets, bringing governed Snowflake data and agentic workbook building into spreadsheets.
Snowflake brought CoCo, its coding agent for data teams, to Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets so business users can build workbooks with native formulas, charts and pivot tables through natural language.
CoCo runs queries against Snowflake data with the user's role, so access controls, masking and row access policies apply, and it draws on Semantic Views, Business Ontology and Cortex Sense for consistent results.
Queries are saved in the workbook, enabling intelligent refresh that preserves existing formulas and assets and makes data sources visible for reconciling numbers.
In Excel, users can also call Snowflake Cortex AI functions such as CORTEX.CLASSIFY and CORTEX.SUMMARIZE directly in cells.
