Get started with the Custom Narrative tutorials and reference guide

Learn how to customize a starter project to generate narratives for specific use cases using the full programmability of Arria NLG Studio, then call the project from the Arria for Excel add-in using the Custom Narrative option to add the narrative to your Excel workbook.

The tutorials show you how to optimize and contextualize narratives, and how to transform the input dataset using the add-in's Mapping script feature. You'll also learn how to use add-in features such as Parameter Controls to enable workbook viewers to dynamically change the narrative from within Excel.
