Adding NumXL to Excel Trusted Locations

Question:

How do I add the NumXL installation folder to Excel's Trusted Locations?

Answer:

Adding the NumXL installation folder to the list of Trusted Locations can be done by following the steps below:

  1. Go to the “File” Tab, then click on “Options”.
    Select the “Options” tab from Excel's “file” menu.
  2. The Excel Options dialog pops up, select the “Trust Center” from the left sidebar, and click on the “Trust Center Settings…”.
    Select the “Trust Center Settings…” button from the “Trust Center” tab in the Excel Options dialog.
  3. The Trust Center settings dialog is displayed, select the “Trusted Locations” from the left sidebar, and click on "Add new location…".
    Select the “Add new location…” button from the “Trusted Locations” tab in the Trust Center dialog.
  4. The Microsoft Office Trusted Location dialog box pops up. The value of the Path field is initially set to reference the Templates folder, let's change that to the NumXL folder. Click on the “Browse…” button below it.
    Select the “Browse…” button from the Microsoft Office Trusted Location dialog.
  5. Using the Browse dialog, navigate through the filesystem toward the NumXL installation folder. The folder can be found under “program files” for a 64-bit installation or under “program files (x86)” for a 32-bit installation. Click OK when finished.
    Locate the NumXL folder inside of the Program Files folder.
  6. The selected folder is now added to the list of trusted locations. Leave the checkbox - Subfolders of this location are also trusted - unchecked and click the OK button.
    The NumXL installation folder path has been added. Press on the Ok button.
  7. The NumXL installation folder is now listed at the top of the Trusted Locations list. Press on the OK button to save the changes and close the Trust Center.
    Locate the NumXL installation folder at the top of the Trusted Locations list and press the Ok button.
