PI DataLink tab not available

If the PI DataLink tab does not appear after you install PI DataLink, you might need to manually configure the add-in for Excel (see Learn about Microsoft Excel add-in configuration), or reduce security settings for add-ins (see Security).

Some user-written VBA scripts in Excel worksheets (or add-ins) reset the main Excel ribbon. In such cases, the PI DataLink tab might disappear even though the PI DataLink add-in is still loaded, and embedded PI DataLink functions may work even though the PI DataLink tab itself is not available. Restarting Excel usually fixes this problem.
