Installation and configuration for MS Excel versions: 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016

Installation

Launch the MS Excel application and go to File > Options, then select from the menu Accessories.

excel-vat-vies-gus-api-dodatek_2

At the bottom of the settings you need to select Excel add-ins and click the button Go. In the window Accessories, click the button Browse, go to the directory where the file was unpacked nip24-ms-excel-addin-nr_wersji.zip and indicate:

  • nip24Excel.xll – for 32-bit version of Excel,
  • nip24Excel64.xll – for 64-bit version of Excel.

Correct loading of the add-in is illustrated in the figure below. Just click the button APPROXto make the features implemented in the add-in available in Excel.

Configuration

After installation, the add-on is configured for a test environment by default (more details on the tab Test API).

To be able to call the function in a production environment, it is necessary to configure access to the nip24.pl website once. To do this, go to any Excel sheet and execute the function:

=NIP24.POŁĄCZ.PRODUKCJA("identyfikator";"klucz")

where the function parameters are:

  • identyfikator – the parameter should contain the identifier generated on the nip24.pl account (ID),
  • klucz – the parameter should contain the key generated on the nip24.pl account (Key).

Details on generating the ID and key are described on the website Documentation.

ATTENTION! The above function replaces the old function: NIP24.ZAPISZ.ID.KLUCZ().

To verify the correctness of the connection to a given API (test or production), execute the function:

=NIP24.POŁĄCZENIE.STAN()

Which can return values:

  • SUKCES: Produkcja – if the add-on is correctly configured to work with the production environment,
  • SUKCES: Test – if the add-on is correctly configured to work with the test environment,
  • BŁĄD: Połączenie wymaga konfiguracji – in case of incorrect configuration.

By default, every Excel document is set to automatically calculate the workbook. Setting this option implies calling all formulas if changes are made that affect a given formula. An example of this action is deleting a row in a worksheet. To avoid automatic calling of all functions defined in a given worksheet, which involves automatic sending of queries to the nip24.pl API, change the workbook calculation option to Manual:

  1. from the FILE menu, select Options
  2. select a bookmark Formulas.
  3. at section Calculation options select the setting: Manually and uncheck additional option: Recalculate the workbook before saving.
  4. save the changes made in the spreadsheet.

excel-sprawdzenie_podmiotu_vat-vies-ceidg-gus-regon-nip

With the Excel sheet configured in this way, to force the refresh of all defined formulas, press the following key combination:

CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + F9

Usage

Before using the add-on, you should familiarize yourself with the specifics of its operation:

  • All function calls are made in asynchronous mode, which does not cause freeze effect (no response) of Excel application.
  • Adding (inserting) a row or column does not cause refresh all defined function calls.
  • Copy or move cells containing functions does not cause refreshing defined function calls.
  • Deleting a row or column refreshes all defined function calls and sends queries to nip24.pl (only in the case of default Excel settings). A description of how to change the default settings is included in the chapter Configuration.
  • Attention! It is not recommended to run more than 500 parallel queries because Excel has difficulty handling large numbers of asynchronous calls.

A sample Excel file containing all the functions described below is attached to the ZIP file containing the Excel add-in.
