I use Excel at work, not in a traditional accounting sense, but my company uses it as an interface with one of our systems I frequently work with.
Rather than tediously search the main Excel sheets that get fed into that system for all of the data fields I have to fill in, I made separate Excel tools that consolidate all of that data, then use macros to put the data into the correct fields on the main sheets for me.
Occasionally I'll have to add new functionality to that sheet, so I'll ask AI to write the macro code that does what I need it to do.
Saves me from having to learn obscure VBA programming to perform a function that I do during .0001% of my work time, but that's about the extent of it. For now.
Of course most of what I do is white collar computer work, so I'm expecting that my current job likely has a two-year-or-less countdown on it before they decide to use AI to replace me.
