I currently only have access to a Chromebook to use excel. I currently need the Analysis ToolPak for an evaluation which is, from what I've seen, only unavailable for Chromebook. This seems very foolish especially considering some people (like myself) only have access to Chromebooks. Is there anything I can do on my end to gain access to the Analysis ToolPak? I've already attempted to download it as an add on but it continues to state "unavailable for your device", or if i attempt to access it through a web link it says "blocked by administrator" even though I have no administration to block it. I'm very confused and a good bit desperate any insight would be helpful;.

Dear @Rileigh Crotteau,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Based on your description, you’re using Excel on a Chromebook and can’t access the Analysis ToolPak, which appears as unavailable or administrator blocked.

Currently, the Data Analysis ToolPak is only available in Excel app for Windows and Mac. The version of Excel can be used on Chromebook is Excel for the web. Unfortunately, Analysis Toolpak is not available in Excel for the web.

For reference Load the Analysis ToolPak in Excel

In case your organization has blocked access, you may not be able to open the web link using your school account and may see a “blocked by administrator” message. In this case, please contact your school’s IT department, or try accessing it using your personal Microsoft account instead.

In the meantime, this would be a good addition to Planner. I recommend that you submit your feedback through the Excel Feedback Portal to let the relevant team know about your requirement. This is the best platform for sharing feedback directly with the product team, who regularly review customer suggestions. The more votes a feature request receives, the more attention it gets. Many features are developed or improved based on customer feedback, benefiting both you and other users.
