+<summary>Running an OBB. function returns '#VALUE!'</summary>
+
+* Make sure you are using the correct syntax for the function. You can find the correct syntax for each function [here](https://docs.openbb.co/excel/reference)
+* If you have just opened your workbook and the OBB. function returns '#VALUE!', try recalculating the cell again - this is an ongoing issue with Excel add-ins

+<details>
+<summary>OBB. functions are not available after installing the add-in</summary>
+
+* Make sure OpenBB Add-in for Excel shows in the ribbon
+* Go to **Insert** > **Get Add-ins** > **My Add-ins** > Click '...' when hovering OpenBB add-in > remove the add-in and install it again
+* Restart your computer or manually [clear the Office cache](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/testing/clear-cache)

+<summary>Editing a workbook in the browser and then on desktop app duplicates the 'OpenBB' tab in the ribbon</summary>
+
+This is a known Excel issue. Currently, there is no definitive fix for the problem, but there are workarounds you can apply to fix the file depending on your operating system:
+
+* **Windows**: File > Info > Inspect Workbook > Check ‘Task Pane Add-ins’ > Click ‘OK’. This will scan your workbook and remove the stale add-in reference created by Excel in the browser
+* **Mac**: rename your file from .xlsx to .zip > unzip it using WinZip for Mac (don’t use the default unzip tool, otherwise it won’t work) > look for webextensions folder and delete webextension1.xml > rename the file back to .xlsx
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>Cannot retrieve the data added to Terminal Pro through custom backend using OBB.BYOD</summary>
+
+* Make sure your backend is running and accessible
+* If you are using Mac or Safari make sure your backend is using HTTPS and has a valid SSL certificate
