Note to macOS 10.14 and 10.15 users

macOS 10.14 Mojave and macOS 10.15 Catalina include new security and privacy features that affect every app communicating to another.

To use Microsoft Excel or Apple Numbers as a data source you are required to give StatPlus the permission to access data in active Excel/Numbers workbooks. StatPlus uses the permission to read data from a selected workbook and does not modify your data in any way. When you run an analysis for Excel or Numbers workbook for the first time you will see a system dialog that prompts you to grant access to an app.

macOS Mojave prompt for access to interact with Microsoft Excel


For StatPlus ribbon integration with Excel (when supported) you will be also given a prompt to grant access to the Finder app – the permission is required to copy the add-in file to the Microsoft Excel.
