Quick disable (recommended first step)

  1. In Excel, go to File > Options > Add-ins
  2. In the dropdown at the bottom, select COM Add-ins and click Go
  3. Uncheck the box next to DataSnipper
  4. Click OK

Registry method (more permanent)

You can disable the add-in by setting the LoadBehavior registry value to 0 (disabled) here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Office\\Excel\\Addins\\DataSnipper.Addin

Group Policy (for IT admins)

In corporate environments, IT can use Group Policy to prevent DataSnipper from loading automatically for specific users or groups.

Tip: Start with the COM Add-ins method, it’s the simplest and quickest to try.
