# 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.
