Overview

DataHub Add-in for Microsoft Excel connects Excel 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021, or Office 365 (desktop version) to Cogent DataHub software or the Cogent DataHub service for Microsoft Azure. This manual assumes that you have installed Cogent DataHub software, or that you have access to a Cogent DataHub service for Azure account.

Installation

To install the DataHub Add-in simply download the program archive, double-click on it, and follow the instructions. You will need to close Excel for the installation.

Demo Workbook

The DataHub Add-in installation includes a demo workbook that provides a step-by-step, hands-on demonstration of the most-used features. We encourage first-time users to go through that first, and refer to this documentation as a secondary resource.

Video

Here is a video that shows how to connect the DataHub Add-in to a DataHub instance. This video uses an earlier product name, "Vine", but the funciionality is the same.
