If the Data Analysis command is not available in your version of Excel, you need to load the Analysis ToolPak add-in program. These instructions apply to Excel 2010, Excel 2013 and Excel 2016.
Click the File tab, click Options, and then click the Add-Ins category.
In the Manage box, select Excel Add-ins and then click Go.
In the Add-Ins available box, select the Analysis ToolPak check box, and then click OK.
Tip: If Analysis ToolPak is not listed in the Add-Ins available box, click Browse to locate it.
If you are prompted that the Analysis ToolPak is not currently installed on your computer, click Yes to install it.
Once the add in has been successfully installed you will see data analysis when you click on the data tab (usually to the far right of the toolbar). Go back to the first screenshot in the instructions to see how it will look. The button will open the Data Analysis dialog, which offers access to a variety of analysis tools.
Quick Analysis is a similar set of tools available in Excel 2013. See Microsoft documentation for more information. it applies to Excel 2013 and Excel 2016.
You have made some really good points there. I checked on the internet for more additional information about the issue and found most people will go along with your views on this site.

When I open the Options menu the Add-Ins tab is not there. I have excel 2010. I need to be able to use data analysis for a stats class. Any ideas why it's not there?

i could not find slicer option in excel 2007 . please anybody help me.
by Bedanta on Jul 04, 2018
@Bedanta - Unfortunately it looks like slicers are not available for any Excel product prior to 2010. That being said, I found this discussion thread that discusses possible alternatives, https://www.excelforum.com/excel-charting-and-pivots/1104098-alternatives-to-slicers-for-excel-2007-a.html. I hope this helps!

I have de-selected and re-selected Analysis ToolPak several times but the Analyze group is nowhere on the Data tab ribbon, despite repairing or removing and reinstalling the Office software. The ANALYS32.XLL file is in the folder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\Library\Analysis", tried relocating this file in %APPDATA%\Excel\Library\Analysis , without success.

@C.G. while the technical aspects of this aren't our specialty, I did find an answer to your question.

In some other versions of Excel, Excel Add-Ins in available under "Tools" menu.

thank you
by efgsegfv on Feb 18, 2020
I have the same problem as C.G.
Pls help.
I entered =networkdays(a1,a2) in a cell and showed 0, meaning the analysis toolpak was loaded, but not showing the data analysis tab
by Meeko on Feb 21, 2020
@Meeko - Try looking under the Data tab as sometimes it goes under there instead of as it's own separate tab. If that doesn't work, I suggest reaching out to Microsoft directly as they are better qualified to help answer these questions. For help from Microsoft, start here, https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/. I hope this helps! Good luck!

Hello, I understand the instructions, but the Data pack add-in is not showing and the Browse button only browsers my own computer, not the web/XL site to enable me to download it. Any advice?
by debbie on Mar 12, 2020
Where do I find the data analysis tookpak? Is it downloadable from the web? It's not on my PC
by debbie on Mar 12, 2020
@debbie - What version of Excel are you using and are you on a PC or Mac computer?
I can try and help troubleshoot remotely, but if you can come into our library or your local public library that may be best.

Instructions were followed. Got the data analysis on the ribbon under DATA. But then it disappeared. Repeated the procedure but it still does not appear on the ribbon.
by shz on Sep 07, 2020
@shz - I am sorry that it is not showing up now for you. Without being able to see your screen, I am not sure how to tell what the issue is. I would recommend bringing it into your local public library to see if they can help troubleshoot. I hope they are able to help you!

I have the same problem as @G.C. I have selected the Add-in but it still won't show up in the Data Tab nor in the Home Tab. Can anyone help me with this?

@Mohammed Shoaeb
I am sorry you are having the same issue. Unfortunately, I am not sure how to assist you without being able to see your screen. One of the librarians here had responded to @C.G. with a Microsoft help article they had found addressing the topic:

thank u, i followed the instruction. the data analysis button did not appear. i read the comments and @katie suggested to close the program or the excel file and re-open it. it worked. thanks to all of you for sharing your knowledge
by alma on Aug 06, 2021
Thanks for the tutorial. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it work with my Excel 2019. For those who use Excel 2013, 2016, or 2019, the instructions in this article should helped me turn on the Quick Analysis tool: https://spreadsheetdaddy.com/basics/quick-analysis-tool.
To save other users some time, here's how you do it: File > General > check the "Show Quick Analysis options on selection" box > OK.
by Felix on Aug 26, 2021
your video guide is easy to understand. I have installed the data analysis.
