The MashZone NextGen Add-On for Excel allows worksheets in your organization to become information sources in MashZone NextGen and to become destinations for mashup and mashable results from MashZone NextGen.

This add-on adds a toolbar to Excel that allows you to import results from MashZone NextGen mashups or mashables to a worksheet so that you can work with it. You can refresh results in your worksheet, as needed. Access to MashZone NextGen mashables and mashups is secure, using MashZone NextGen policies.

The MashZone NextGen Add-On for Excel also allows you to register Excel worksheets as MashZone NextGen mashable information sources to allow worksheet data to be used in mashups or apps or to allow other Excel users to share worksheet data by importing the mashable into their own worksheets.

MashZone NextGen mashables may have a simple snapshot of worksheet data or they can have a dynamic connection for worksheets hosted in SharePoint or other document management systems that support HTTP access. For mashables with a snapshot of data, you can update mashable data as needed using this add-on.
