Microsoft Excel 2016 – How to Use Smart Lookup to Gain Insights into What You’re working On

Bing powered Smart Lookup enables you to easily check facts or explore terms in your documents. Just highlight terms in your document and use this feature to bring in search results from the web right into your reading or authoring environment.

How to open Smart Lookup:
At the top of the Home ribbon, click the Tell me what you want to do dialog box, and just start typing what you’re looking for, then just select Smart Lookup from the drop-down list.

The Insights pane, powered by Bing, offers more than just definitions:
When you select a word or phrase in your Excel worksheet, right-click it, and choose Smart Lookup, the insights pane will open with definitions, Wiki articles, and top related searches from the web.

You can also get to Smart Lookup any time by going to Review > Smart Lookup and entering a query there.

Note: If you are on a touch device, double-tap the word to select it and then tap Smart Lookup.
