    Hello,

    To use the Claude add-in in Excel on a Windows PC, you need a Microsoft 365 subscription with Office build 16.0.13127.20296 or later.

    To upgrade your Office license, purchase a Microsoft 365 Personal subscription from Microsoft.

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/buy/compare-all-microsoft-365-products

    Once the Purchase is successful and you see the subscription in your Microsoft Account here:

    https://account.microsoft.com/services

    • Remove the Previous Office Installations on your device.
    • Then, install the Office 365 apps from your Microsoft account.
    • To use Claude add-in on excel, in the Home tab, click the Add-ins icon from the toolbar, search for Claude, and select the 'Claude by Anthropic for Excel' add-in and install it.

    Let me know if you still need more help.
