# Using Excel with Marrow MCP

# Using Excel with Marrow MCP

This guide shows how to use **Marrow MCP** in **Microsoft Excel** through the Claude add-in, so you can query your Amazon data without leaving your spreadsheet.

> **Before you start**: This guide assumes you have already connected Marrow MCP to Claude. If you have not done that yet, see [Using Claude](/hologrow-marrow-mcp/claude) first.

## Set up the Claude add-in for Microsoft 365

* Follow the steps in the [Claude for Microsoft 365 documentation](https://claude.com/claude-for-microsoft-365) to install the Claude add-in and sign in with your Microsoft account.
* After the add-in is installed, it appears in the Excel ribbon. You can open it from any workbook.

## Start a conversation in Excel

1. Open a workbook in Excel.
2. Click the **Claude** icon in the ribbon to open the Claude side panel.
3. Make sure Marrow is listed as an active connector in the Claude panel. If it is missing, re-add it following the [Using Claude](/hologrow-marrow-mcp/claude) guide.
4. Enter your prompt in the chat input and press Enter.

> **Note**: In a new conversation, Claude may not immediately see the Marrow connector. If that happens, ask Claude to refresh connectors.

## Profit and loss report

### Steps

* Open the [Marrow data scheme](/hub/data-scheme) and find the table fields you need for a profit and loss report.
* Build a prompt around the `amazon_profit_by_sku_and_date` table so the report uses real Marrow data.

Use Marrow to create a monthly profit and loss report in a new Excel worksheet based on the `amazon_profit_by_sku_and_date` table. Group the data by month and include these columns: total sales, COGS, Amazon fees, ad spend, total cost, net profit, margin %, units sold, orders, avg ROI %, and TACoS %. Format the result as a clean Excel table.
