Add-on

Live Excel Reports

Keep Excel. Remove the manual work. A dynamic workbook connected directly to the KLIKER database — hit refresh and the market updates, inside the file your team already works in.

Refresh instead of rebuild.

An export is a static snapshot: the moment it is saved it starts going stale, and next week somebody repeats the whole process. A live Excel report keeps its connection to the KLIKER database — you open the same workbook, press refresh, and current market data for your licensed scope replaces the previous data. Everything downstream keeps working, because the file is still yours.

  • Static export — one file per week, manually produced, immediately out of date, four versions circulating by Thursday.
  • Live Excel report — one workbook, refreshed on demand, always current, pivots and formatting intact.

What users can do

  • Refresh live data — pull the current state of your licensed market
  • Build pivots — your own cuts, no request ticket needed
  • Create dashboards — in the tool your organisation already approved
  • Automate internal workflows — feed the calculations you already trust

The workbook is scoped to your subscription. It returns the markets, categories and retailers you license — nothing else.

Why it lands

Enterprise teams understand this immediately

A dashboard is a new habit. A live workbook is the habit they already have, with the manual part removed.

Adoption

Nothing new to learn

A category manager who has used Excel for fifteen years is productive on day one.

No rollout resistance
Speed

From hours to a click

The rebuild step — export, clean, match, pivot, format — simply stops existing.

The recurring report costs minutes
Trust

One current version

Everyone refreshes the same workbook instead of circulating four slightly different exports.

No more “which file is right?”

Questions

Live Excel FAQ

How is a live Excel report different from exporting to Excel?

An export is a snapshot: the moment you save it, it starts going stale, and next week you repeat the whole process. A live report keeps its connection — you refresh the same workbook and the current data replaces the old, leaving your pivots and formatting intact.

Does it work with our existing template?

Live workbooks are built around the structure you need, so they can follow the report your organisation already uses. That is agreed when the report is set up.

What data can the workbook return?

The data in your licensed scope — your markets, categories, retailers and products. Access follows your subscription, so a workbook cannot return data you are not licensed for.

Can we use Power BI instead?

Yes. If your reporting layer is Power BI or another BI tool, the KLIKER API is usually the better fit — same data, delivered as a feed rather than a workbook.

Is live Excel included in the subscription?

It is an add-on, because each workbook is built and maintained around a specific structure. See plans & add-ons.
