Directions for Installing ActiveData ActiveData Excel Add-in Walk Through 1. To download your trial version of ActiveData click on this link: http://www.informationactive.com/ad/downloads/1000/ActiveDatax86-60.exe 2. Upon installation, open MS Excel. Your menu ribbon should have ActiveData displayed. 3. Go to the company site and access the product training videos at ActiveData for Excel.

Watch the video and perform all the operations covered in the video. Save your work and upload it to your assignment folder. This is a Pass/Fail submission. I am looking to see that you worked with the software and are prepared to use it in Session 9. Curious: Feel free to watch as many of the videos as possible. Support: Feel free to ask your classmates about any issue you encounter as you complete your walkthrough. I've opened a discussion area for this purpose. If you are having difficulty with the technology contact ActiveData Support and follow directions under Evaluation User.
