Installing the Add-In
Where to Save the Add-In File?
The Add-In file (.xlam) must be saved in the correct location for Excel to recognize it automatically.
Windows
Save the .xlam file to:
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns
The AppData folder is hidden by default. To reveal it, open File Explorer, go to the View tab, and check Hidden items.
After copying the file, right-click it, select Properties, and click Unblock if the option appears. This ensures Windows does not block the file from running.
Mac
Save the .xlam file to:
/Users/<User>/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content/Add-Ins/
You can save the file to a different location, but you will need to browse manually to that location when enabling the Add-In in Excel.
How to Enable the Add-in in Excel?
Once the .xlam file is saved in the correct directory, follow these steps to enable it:
- Open Excel
- Go to File > Options > Add-Ins on Windows, or Preferences on Mac
- At the bottom, set Manage to Excel Add-ins and click Go...
- In the Add-Ins dialog, check the Intratec box
- Click OK
If the Intratec Add-In is not listed, click Browse... and navigate to the folder where you saved the .xlam file.
