Inserting Analytic Solver Cloud from the Microsoft Store

STEP 1: Before getting started, make sure you have an Office 365 subscription, and that your Excel version is up to date.

• Excel Online: Requires no update, as it is always up to date -- proceed to Step 2!
• Excel for Mac: Requires Version 16.25 or later. (To Update:  System menu - Help - Check for Updates)
• Excel for Windows: Requires Version 1904 or later. (To Update in excel: File - Account - Update Options - Update Now)
  • If you can’t get Version 1904 or later, you are on the "Semi-Annual Channel" - Click here for steps to switch to the "Monthly Channel"
    

STEP 2: Access the "Store" - Microsoft AppSource.

• Excel Online: Click Insert tab, then Office Add-ins
• Excel for Mac / Windows: Click the Insert tab, then Get Add-ins. In the Office Add-ins dialog (pictured below), click the Store
• You can also access the apps outside of Excel:
  • Analytic Solver – Data Mining – Click here
  • Analytic Solver – Click here

STEP 3: Find and insert the Analytic Solver Add-in.

Search for “Analytic Solver.”  You'll see both "Analytic Solver" and "Analytic Solver Data Mining".
First click the Add button next to Analytic Solver.

STEP 4: Find and insert the Analytic Solver Data Mining Add-in.

Microsoft requires that you install both parts of the product separately.  Repeat steps 2 and 3, but this time click the Add button next to Analytic Solver Data Mining.

You've now completed the installation process! 

STEP 5: Login to use Analytic Solver.

• Click the Analytic Solver tab on the Ribbon. If you don't see the Task Pane on the right side, click the Model button on the Ribbon.
• Click the Get Started button in the Task Pane. A Login dialog pops up. (If you don't see the button, you are already logged in.)
• Either the email address and password you use on Solver.com, or Create an Account.
