Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel — displays an Excel table from your Microsoft account live on the screen.

Purpose

Bring Excel content (key figures, plans, lists) automatically to the display. The table reloads at an adjustable interval.

Use cases

This is how Microsoft Excel looks on the screen – examples from real use:

  • An Excel file with a shared link.
  • At least one configured screen for playback.

What is an instance?

An instance is a specific, configured output of the app – a connected Excel file with its display settings. You can create multiple instances and assign them to different screens.

Manage instances

After clicking, you land in the app's instance management. Here you see existing instances and create another one with Neue Instanz (New instance, top right).

Instance management: create a „Neue Instanz" (New instance) at the top right.

Save & play on the screen

  1. Name the instance and configure it as desired.
  2. Save it at the top right with Speichern & Schliessen (Save & Close).
  3. The instance is now available under the app.
  4. Assign it to your screen – directly as content or embedded in a Layout or a Playlist.
  5. At the next sync, the content appears on the display and updates automatically.

Tips & troubleshooting

No access

Choose the correct link type (Shared Link Business) and check the sharing.

Data outdated

Shorten the reload interval.

Too small/large

Scale using the zoom factor.

Content does not appear

Check whether the instance is assigned to the correct screen/layout and the Player is online.
