Setup
There are two ways for users to work with FactoryTalk Historian DataLink
functions in Excel spreadsheets:
 Users can install a stand-alone version of FactoryTalk Historian
DataLink on their local PC.

DataLink functions using FactoryTalk Historian DataLink Server.
Contact your Rockwell Automation sales representative for more
information.
Previous versions of FactoryTalk Historian DataLink allowed a shared version
to be installed and run from a central file server. This feature is no longer
supported.
You can install FactoryTalk Historian DataLink from a distribution CD or
an installation kit downloaded from Rockwell Automation. The installation
program automatically installs both Excel XP-2003 and 2007 versions of
the DataLink add-in to your system, regardless of which version of Excel
you have installed.
 If you have Excel XP-2003 on your PC, you must configure the add-in
manually after installation by adding it to Excel.
 If you have Excel 2007 on your PC, the install program automatically
configures the add-in for Excel 2007.
