# Product Hunt Google Sheets & Excel Spreadsheet Add-on

Product Hunt is the premier website that enables users share and discover new products. This Product Hunt spreadsheet integration for Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel enables you to import product and user information from Product Hunt. This add-on will enable you to integrate on-demand, refreshable data without leaving your spreadsheet.

Here is an example:

```
=FLEX("YOUR_TEAM_NAME/producthunt-posts")
```

## Prerequisites

The Product Hunt spreadsheet functions utilize [Flex.io](https://www.flex.io) and [Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/). To use these functions, you'll need:

* A [Flex.io account](https://www.flex.io/app/signup) to run the functions
* A [Flex.io Add-on](https://www.flex.io/add-ons) for Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets to use the functions in your spreadsheet
* A [Product Hunt account](https://www.producthunt.com)

## Installing the Functions

Once you've signed up for Flex.io and have the Flex.io Add-on installed, you're ready to install the function pack.

You can install these functions directly by mounting this repository in Flex.io:

1. [Sign in](https://www.flex.io/app/signin) to Flex.io
2. In the Functions area, click the "New" button in the upper-left and select "Function Mount" from the list
3. In the function mount dialog, select "GitHub", then authenticate with your GitHub account
4. In the respository URL box, enter the name of this repository, which is "flexiodata/functions-producthunt"
5. Click "Create Function Mount"

If you prefer, you can also install these using the [Flex.io Product Hunt Integration](https://www.flex.io/integrations/producthunt).

1. Open Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets
2. Open the Flex.io Add-in:
- In Microsoft Excel, select Home->Flex.io
- In Google Sheets, select Add-ons->Flex.io
3. In the Flex.io side bar, log in to Flex.io and you’ll see the functions you have installed
