To use data1.io you need:
- the right Excel version
- an active internet connection
- the registration of your data1.io Account
- the data1.io Excel Add-In (see Step 2)
- a data1.io Template File (see Step 3)
1. The right Excel version: availability of Excel Web Add-Ins
Excel Web Add-Ins are available in the following versions:
- Excel for Windows Desktop (>= Excel 2013 SP1)
- Excel Online
- Excel for Mac
- Excel for the iPad
Web Add-Ins are not available in Excel for mobile Devices. In Excel 2013 SP1 command buttons (in the ribbons) are not available and the featureset of the Javascript API is reduced. Therefore we recommend to use data1.io with the latest Update of Excel 2016+, ideally in combination with a corporate Office 365 account.

2. Active internet connection
data1.io is a cloud-based service which works only online, therefore an active internet connection is a precondition to use the service. We recommend
- Download speed >= 10 Mbps
- Upload speed >= 4 Mbps
The service can also be used with slower connections, but in this case we cannot guarantee user satisfaction.
3. Register your data1.io Account
Although it`s also possible to register in the Excel Web Add-In we recommend to do the registration in the data1.io Web App. Press the Create an account button:
Fill in the short registration form and click Create Account:
You`ll be logged into the data1.io Cloud Service automatically after registration ...
... and find yourself in this Getting Started :)
