Getting Started: One Excel App for All Your Data Sources

ExtendInsights Apps | Connect, analyze, and manage data from multiple business systems using a single Excel add-in

ExtendInsights combines multiple Excel capabilities into a single Microsoft Excel add-in, allowing you to connect to multiple business systems without installing separate applications.

Whether you're building reports, automating data refreshes, or updating business records, everything is available from one unified Excel experience.


One Excel Add-in, Multiple Capabilities

ExtendInsights helps you work with business data directly in Excel by providing tools to:

  • Download live data from connected systems

  • Create, update, and delete records (where supported)

  • Automate scheduled data refreshes

  • Build dashboards, PivotTables, and reports

  • Connect workbooks to Power Query and Power BI

  • Work with multiple accounts and data sources from one interface

Instead of switching between different Excel add-ins, you can manage everything from the ExtendInsights pane.
