The add-in grants players access to various data sets, including asset locations, item values, market orders, prices, wallet transactions, and skill progression. With this information readily available, players can generate custom reports, visualize data through graphs and charts, and gain deeper insights into their gameplay. CCP Games highlights that EVE Online is the “first and only” video game to officially offer Excel-based data integration.
Catherine Pidgeon, Microsoft’s Head of Product, Excel, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, “With the add-in, the EVE Online player base can seamlessly export and manage data without third-party tools. Through this collaboration, we’re excited to see how players of EVE Online of all skill levels can use Excel to streamline data management and take their in-game experience to new heights.”
To access the add-in, EVE Online players can go to the “Insert” tab in Excel (desktop or web), click on the “Get Add-ins” button, and search for EVE Online. Alternatively, the add-in can be found in the Microsoft Store. CCP Games has also provided a sample workbook to assist players in getting started with the tool.
