Introduction
In rare cases, the DATASNIPPER ribbon stops appearing within Excel. Excel can detect add-ins that slow down performance and disable them automatically. Follow the steps below to get back to snipping.
Step 1: Re-enable DataSnipper
Click File at the top left of Excel.
Click Options.
Click Add-ins.
In the Manage drop-down, choose Disabled Items and click Go.
Locate the DataSnipper Excel Add-in in the list.
Click Always enable this add-in.
Step 2: Installation issue
If DataSnipper does not appear in your Add-in list at all, DataSnipper might not be installed. Please contact your IT department about the installation of DataSnipper.
Step 3: Re-activate Add-in
Click File > Options > Add-ins.
In the Manage drop-down, choose COM Add-ins and click Go.
If the checkbox next to the DataSnipper add-in is cleared, click it to select it, then click OK.
Step 4: Load Behavior issue
If you see a Load Behavior error when trying to activate DataSnipper, it is caused by a missing library. Contact your IT department and ask them to install .NET version 4.7.2 or higher.
Step 5: Conflict with another Add-in
Click File > Options > Add-ins > COM Add-ins > Go.
Uncheck all add-ins except DataSnipper, then click OK.
Restart Excel. Your DataSnipper tab should now be visible.
