The Jet Excel add-in allows you to access the Jet tab directly within Excel, making reporting faster and easier. However, sometimes the Jet tab may not appear automatically. Since Excel remembers add-in settings per user, each user on a shared workstation or server must configure Excel individually. In this guide you can learn how to enable or disable Jet excel add-in.

If you open Excel using the “Jet Reports” desktop icon, the Jet add-in is enabled automatically before Excel starts. But if the Jet tab is missing, you can enable it in two ways:

• Using the Enable Jet Add-In app

• Manually enabling the Jet Excel add-in

Method 1: Enable Jet Add-In App

If you have administrative privileges, the Enable Jet Add-In app is the easiest way to enable Jet in Excel.

• The app runs automatically right after installing Jet.

• You can also launch it anytime from the Windows Start Menu.

Method 2: Manually Enable the Jet Excel Add-In

If the app does not work, you can manually add Jet to Excel by following these steps:

1. Open Excel and navigate to the Add-ins section:

   • Excel 2010 and later: File > Options > Add-Ins > Manage > Excel Add-ins > Go

   • Excel 2007: Office Button > Excel Options > Add-Ins > Manage > Excel Add-ins > Go
     

2. In the Add-Ins window, click Browse…
   

3. Navigate to the Jet Reports installation folder (default:
   C:\Program Files (x86)\JetReports)
   

4. Select the file JetReports.xll and click OK

   • If prompted to replace the file, select Yes

Once done, the Jet ribbon will appear in Excel.

Tip: If you have other Excel add-ins enabled, consider disabling them temporarily before enabling Jet to avoid conflicts.

How to Disable the Jet Excel Add-In

If you need to disable Jet, follow the same steps to access Excel Add-Ins:

• Excel 2010 and higher: File > Options > Add-Ins > Manage > Excel Add-ins > Go

• Excel 2007: Office Button > Excel Options > Add-Ins > Manage > Excel Add-ins > Go

In the Add-Ins window, simply uncheck the Jet Reports box and click OK.

The Jet tab will no longer appear in Excel until re-enabled.

Final Thoughts

Enabling or disabling the Jet Excel Add-In is quick and easy.
