Excel Add-In help
- Once you install the Add-In, please open Excel and navigate to "TEXT2DATA" tab,

- Having API credentials created, navigate to Excel and update the data by clicking "Service Credentials" button,
- To analyze the data, right click on cell selection and select "Analyze | TEXT2DATA" menu item,
- You can also use "Analyze Selection" button in top menu (as some other Excel add-ins may reset right click menu),

- When clicking "Extract from Selection" button in top menu, the entity extraction process will start (without analyzing sentiment) - if no custom model name is specified (in service settings), the default user extraction model will be used,
- During data processing, right action pane will open (you can dock it to any position you want),
- Text content in each Excel cell is treated as a separate document and evaluated as such,
- The better input text is formatted (properly placed commas, spaces between sentences etc.), the faster and more accurate analysis will be returned,
- When analysis is done, just use "Paste to selection" or "Copy to new Worksheet" buttons,
- Additional option lets you create word cloud based on analysis results,
- You can also generate summary statistics containing total sentiment counts, auto categories and user categories (if you have created custom classification models),
