Excel Integration With NAV 2013 - Part III

Hi all,

Integration with Excel Continued ... (Previous Article 1 & Article 2)

NAV USERS WHO CANNOT SEE DYNAMICS NAV TAB IN EXCEL CAN START FOLLOWING STEPS FROM STEP NO. 5.



So lets configure User Y Machine so that he can use the Excel Provided by User X1 / X2 to get updated data.

1) For Getting Microsoft Dynamics NAV Tab in Excel we need to install a Visual Studio Tool For Office(VSTO) named as - Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.ExcelAddin.

2) The setup on a NON Navision User have some Pre-requisites -

a) Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.
b) Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools For Office Redist.

These Pre-requisites can be found in Prerequisite Components of Navision DVD as shown below.



3) So we will install these components on Client Y Machine.

4) No for installing VSTO Excel Addin there are two way -

A) Copy RoleTailored Client Folder From "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\70" from user X1 / X2 machine to User Y Machine.

B) Copy below listed files from User X1 / X2 machine. These files can be found under
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\70\RoleTailored Client" to User Y Machine.

Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Patterns.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.Extensibility.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.Extensibility.xml
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.Mapping.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.Navigation.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.UX2006.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.UX2006.WinForms.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.Windows.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.WinForms.Controls.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.WinForms.DataVisualization.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.WinForms.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.ServiceConnection.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.UI.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.WinForms.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.ExcelAddin.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.ExcelAddin.dll.manifest
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.ExcelAddin
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Language.dll
Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Types.dll
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common.v4.0.Utilities.dll
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.v4.0.Utilities.dll
Microsoft.Windows.Shell.dll
RibbonControlsLibrary.dll

5) Run Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.ExcelAddin from the folder,icon shown below.







6) You can check installation status also in control panel.
