Downloading AdobeReportBuilder plugin for Excel

[AnthonyGIE]

Hello,

We are a compagnie, and Microsoft Store is blocked for security reason, for all end-user, on all machines.

We need to update the excel addon.

We use Legacy Report Builder last version.

Where we can download the offline setup to include in our package ? since we can't download from MStore.

We can read on page.

Adobe is introducing a new Report Builder that is available for Microsoft Excel on macOS, Windows, and Web Office. This new application is separate from the legacy Report Builder application and you need to install it.

Important:

The new application can live side by side with the legacy application but should not be used at the same time.

The new Report Builder lets you migrate legacy workbooks from the old application to the new one.

Report Builder is a Microsoft Excel add-in that allows you to easily create, edit, and refresh customized data requests using Adobe Analytics data. Report Builder is perfect for those users who want to use Excel to perform additional analysis on Adobe Analytics data. It is also useful for users who would like to combine data into customized visualizations for their specific reporting needs.

With Report Builder, you can use the simple drag-and-drop UI to easily build complex data queries. Customize your reports by:

• Referencing existing worksheet cells to get the perfect row order, date range, or segment
• Creating custom dates using calendar, cell references, or date math
• Designing your tables and visualizations with familiar Excel formatting tools

For more information, see:

Installation Instructions

Download Report Builder from the Microsoft App Source Store.

Let me know if not the right place to ask this question ...

Thx you

Best regards

Anthony

Hi @AnthonyGIE ,

As per adobe limitation 

Adobe does not provide an official offline installer (MSI or EXE) for the new Report Builder add-in. It is only available via:

• Microsoft AppSource
• In-app Excel Add-in Store

This presents a challenge for enterprise deployments behind strict IT policies.

• Continue using Legacy Report Builder (use MSI installer for secure packaging).

• If you want the new Report Builder, raise a formal support request with Adobe asking for:

  • Side-loading deployment support or

  • An offline installer (EXE/MSI)

Thanks.

Hi @AnthonyGIE 

If your company blocks access to the Microsoft Store, then installing the new Report Builder can be tricky. Right now, Adobe only offers it through Microsoft AppSource or the Excel Add-in Store. There's no offline installer (like an .exe or .msi) available for the new version.

It’s a common issue in secure environments, so worth checking with Adobe directly. 

Hope that helps!

We too have the Microsoft Store blocked by our company policy; but I have no trouble accessing the Microsoft App Source site (posted by others).

Hopefully that works for you... if not, you might have to talk to your IT Department to open the access location, or to install it for you (I assume they have elevated privileges).

Good Luck!

I had the exact same issue, 
Here is what you can do. 
If you are trying to use your personal MS office suite/ laptop then you can just install it as a add on from the excel add-ons 
However if companies suite/laptop you would have restrictions that might not let you add an add-on that easily. 
You need to reach out to the admins of MS suite and have them add it for you and it will be reflected across the org.

Also the new report builder is way better than the old one.

Thanks for reason this question, the Microsoft Store is blocked for us too. We have been waiting since December for our security team to give my team access (it has been approved but we still waiting for the implementation; they keep sending us to the old .EXE version...) Unfortunately, that old version stopped working.

I'll follow up yet again internally but will be looking at raising this issue with Adobe on our end as well.
