Why integrate
What you can do with MS Excel + Profit.co
Auto-update from any cell
Point a key result at any cell in any Excel Online workbook. Profit.co reads that value daily and checks in your OKR progress — no spreadsheet exports, no copy-paste.
Live KPI dashboards from spreadsheet data
Any metric your team tracks in Excel — revenue, NPS, error rates, headcount — flows directly into Profit.co’s KPI dashboards in real time.
Eliminate manual double-entry
Your finance, operations, and analytics teams update one spreadsheet. Profit.co handles the rest — keeping OKRs current without asking anyone to log in twice.
Already tracking KPIs in Excel?
Connect your spreadsheet to Profit.co in under 10 minutes — no developer required.
Data sync
What data syncs
Cell Values
Any numeric cell from any workbook, sheet, column, and row — mapped to Increase KPI, Decrease KPI, and Control KPI key result types. One cell, one key result, one daily sync.
Workbooks & Sheets
Full navigation of your Excel Online workbooks and sheets so you can scope each key result to exactly the right data source — across every team’s spreadsheet.
Check-in Comments
Optionally pull a second cell’s content as a check-in comment alongside the progress value. Add context — like a note cell — directly to your OKR check-in, automatically.
Why connect Excel to your OKRs?
Teams tracking revenue, NPS, customer count, or error rates in Excel face a familiar problem: those spreadsheet values sit isolated from the OKR management system that is supposed to reflect them, making manual copy-paste the only way to keep progress current. Connect Excel Online to Profit.co and any cell value becomes a live check-in — your key results update daily without anyone touching two systems.
The result fits directly into your quarterly OKR rhythm. Each morning, Profit.co pulls your chosen cell value and records a check-in against the linked key result — so weekly reviews and leadership dashboards reflect actual data, not last week’s manual entry.
Getting started
Set up in 3 steps
No developer required. You’re live in under 10 minutes.
1
Enable in Settings
Go to Settings → Integrations → User Level tab and click the Excel Online Manage button. Only Super Users can enable integrations — check with your Profit.co admin if you don’t see this option.
2
Sign in with Microsoft
Go to Preferences → Integrations → Excel Online and click Sign in to Excel Online. Enter your Microsoft credentials. If you’re the Microsoft admin, grant org-wide consent so your team won’t need to repeat this step.
3
Map a cell to a Key Result
When creating a Key Result, select Automate Check-in and choose Excel Online. Pick your workbook, sheet, column, and row — Profit.co pulls that cell’s value every day at 9 AM in your timezone.
Enterprise grade security
Keep your company’s data secure and compliant with industry-leading security standards and certifications.
Have questions?
We got answers.
Yes. The Profit.co and Excel Online integration is built directly into the Profit.co platform — no third-party middleware required. You connect via your Microsoft account credentials, and the integration is available to all users once the Microsoft admin grants org-wide consent.
Yes. Once connected, select “Automate Check-in” on any Key Result and choose Excel Online as the data source. Profit.co reads the value from your selected cell and updates the key result automatically every day at 9:00 AM in your local timezone.
Profit.co reads numeric cell values from a workbook, sheet, column, and row that you specify. You can also optionally pull a second cell’s content as a check-in comment. The integration reads data only — it does not write to your spreadsheet.
The Excel Online integration supports three key result types: Increase KPI (e.g. grow revenue), Decrease KPI (e.g. reduce error rate), and Control KPI (e.g. maintain a target range). These cover the vast majority of metrics teams track in spreadsheets.
The Excel Online integration is included in all Profit.co paid plans. You can explore it during your free 30 days trial with no credit card required.
No. Setup takes under 10 minutes and requires no code. You’ll need your Microsoft account credentials, Super User access in Profit.co, and — for first-time org setup — Microsoft administrator access to grant consent on behalf of your organisation.
Yes. The Excel Online integration is configured at the User Level — each team member can connect their own Microsoft account to link their personal workbooks to their individual key results. Once the Microsoft admin grants org-wide consent, no further admin steps are needed for other users.
Yes. Profit.co is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant. All data transferred between Excel Online and Profit.co is encrypted in transit and at rest. Profit.co reads cell values only — it never modifies your spreadsheets. Review the full security overview at profit.co/data-security.
