2.Currenlt, the "Analyze in Excel" feature may require both options(Export data and Analyze in Excel) to be enabled in Admin Portal.

3.There are a few requirements for using Analyze in Excel, see more limitation Analyze in Excel :

• Analyze in Excel is supported for Microsoft Excel 2010 SP1 and later.
