# Excel plug-in: configuring your account

Before accessing any data, you need account information from CloudQuant: **User ID**, **Token**, and **Base URL**.

## Getting started

Download the Excel Plug-In from your Liberator Profile page.

After installation, Excel displays a new **CloudQuant** Ribbon menu item.

## Configuration steps

1. Select the **CloudQuant** tab
2. Select the **Account** icon to open settings
3. Enter your account credentials in the dialog

## Required information

* **User ID**, **Token**, and **Base URL** — provided on your Liberator Profile page (no trailing slash on Base URL)

<Note>
  When you select OK, the application verifies your login credentials. Once verified, the remaining ribbon buttons are enabled so you can create, run, or interact with queries.
