If you need to perform a manual installation because the automatic installer does not work or is not appropriate for your environment, follow this procedure. CAUTION: you will need to repeat this procedure every time you upgrade the add-in.
Manual Installation:
- Download the file AnalyticsEdgeCore-10-11-1.zip file for the Core Add-in.
- Extract the files to a folder on your hard drive (right-click and select Extract All… from the pop-up menu). If you want to share the add-in with other users of the computer, make sure to put the files into a folder that all users can access. DO NOT use the Program Files or Program Files (x86) folders — Windows protects these folders.
- Open Microsoft Excel 2013 or higher on your Windows computer.
- Open the Excel Options (File – Options) dialog.
- Select Add-ins and click the Go… button
- Click the Browse… button. If you used the default installation folder, you should see the Analytics Edge Add-in listed already – just check the entry and click OK.
- Locate the files you unzipped in step 2 and select the version of the add-in you want (AnalyticsEdge-32bit.xll or AnalyticsEdge-64bit.xll ). NOTE: only one version will work depending on your installed Excel version (32-or-64 bit) — If one does not work, try the other.
- Click Open, and click OK to close the dialog.
The Analytics Edge ribbon should now appear when you open Excel.
Extra: if (and ONLY if) you are familiar with regedit, add the following registry entries to tell Internet Explorer to emulate v11 instead of the default v7 or 8 (which are no longer supported by most web sites):
