Feeling more comfortable elaborating with data in Excel? Don't worry, it is possible to integrate your analytics views with Excel. 


Any application that supports REST can be used off-the-shelf to communicate with Position Green. Microsoft Excel has a data connection for REST which means we can use Excel to poll data from Position Green. The only thing you will need from us is your client_id and the client_secret, which you will receive upon request from your Sustainability Platform Team.


Please follow the step-by-step guide to set up your integration.


  Note that this functionality in Microsoft Excel is only available on Windows
