# Excel



## What you can do with this integration

The integration for Excel lets you:

* **Read user data from an Excel file** and unify them as user profiles inside Krenalis.
* **Write unified users back into Excel** and keep the target synchronized over time.

You can use it both to **collect user data** and to **activate user profiles**.
