How To Configure Microsoft Excel with Aparavi Credentials

After the first time the Get Link to Results feature is used, Microsoft Excel can be configured to accept the Aparavi username and password, so that many of the steps completed the first time will not have to be completed again.

1. Open Microsoft Excel on the local host machine and click on the Data navigation tab. Once there, click on the Get Data button, located in the upper left-hand side of the Excel spreadsheet toolbar.
