Quick tips

A few tips to help new users get started

  • It's good practice to upload your Excel service to Spark if a change has been made to the Excel file. This makes sure the Spark Assistant testing can give you the most accurate results. See Upload to Sparkfor more information on how to upload your file to Spark in one step.

  • If a particular feature takes too long to process, your file might be too large. Run the Excel Analyser function to learn more about your Excel file and try to reduce the file size.

  • The Spark Assistant will not create named ranges, compare your files, or even upload if any cell is being edited.

  • Make sure you have the latest version of the Spark Assistant by reloading the Excel add-in.

  • In the following image, you will see that the bottom pane of the Spark Assistant has links to this user guide and to our support desk (if you'd like to speak to our customer service team). For any concerns please head there!

  • You will also see an information (i) icon. Hovering over it will provide important auditing details such as the User ID you are logged in with, the Spark environment you are connected to, as well as the Spark Assistant version number.
