# Create your Excel connection

To create your Excel Plug, you just need the account linked to the files you wish to integrate. With that in hand, you just have to log your Microsoft account into GearPlug.

Once done, you can use any spreadsheet available in your account. You’ll only have to create a new Plug if you want to use a different Microsoft account.

### Set up access

1. **Head over to “My Apps”** in the top-right corner of your GearPlug Interface.

3. **Log into your account** on the pop-up window and provide the permissions. If you’ve already logged into your account, GearPlug will take you directly to the permissions.

Once you’ve agreed, your Plug is ready for use.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.gearplug.io/english/set-up-your-integrations/excel/create-your-excel-connection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
