FusionXL install

Overview

FusionXL is an Excel add-in which is available to download from the Metadata Technology SDMX Community tools web site. If you haven't already done so, you will need to register and then login in order to download the add-in. Scroll down until you see the FXL section and then download the Zip file.

The zip file contains a single XLAM file which should be saved to your computer in one of two specific places (not both). It will work with Microsoft Excel 2010 and later.

The XLAM file must be in an AppData folder in one of two possible locations and the next time Excel is started, you will see a tab as shown on the image below.

To add FXL to Windows 10 or higher, follow one of the two steps below.

Using XLSSTART folder

Place the XLAM file in the Excel sub directory folder XLSTART as shown in the example path below:

C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

Using the Addins sub directory folder

Place the XLAM file in the Excel sub directory folder XLSTART as shown in the example path below:

C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns

Having done this, the next step is to enable the Add-in. In Excel select the Options menu and then Add-ins.

After clicking Go an Add-Ins window will be displayed which will show FusionXL as an available add-in. Select this add-in and click OK.

After clicking OK, restart Excel to see the RXL tab as shown in the image above.

You are now ready to connect FXL to a Registry.
