Day 2/30 of 🎥 30-Day Claude + Excel Challenge
Day 2 - Setting Up Claude Inside Excel

Today we move from theory to setup.
If you want to use Claude with Excel, this is the step that unlocks everything.

Here’s what we cover:
• How to create your Claude account
• Why you may need Claude Pro ($20/month) for the Excel add-in
• How to install the Claude for Excel add-in and connect it to excel.

⚠️ Important: If you’re using a company laptop, check your IT policy before installing any AI tool. I strongly suggest starting on your personal device.

Once installed, Claude appears inside Excel as a chat panel.
That’s where the magic begins.

Tomorrow, we start asking Claude real Excel questions  formulas, analysis, explanations.
If you’re part of the challenge, comment Day 2 done once you’ve installed it.

Day 3 drops tomorrow.
Follow me for the entire journey.
