See here how to remove it:
Dissable Jira Excel Plugin (atlassian.com)

Thanks @Christian Happel  but this ad-in has been installed by my pc admin, i cannot remove it via the described by you way, i need this ad-in removed from my profile, if you don't know how this can be done, i'd kindly ask for contacts for the respective ad-in support.

I would assume you will need to ask your admin about that then.

I don't think the Atlassian support understands the problem correctly. I've set up a rather big and complex spreadsheet for a usergroup. As an administrator I need to support and import data from JiRA. The multiple users of the spreadsheet will and should not do updates of the data other than manual entrys. 

The JiRA-plugin covers up like 1/4 of the screen. So they start up the excel and needs to turn this off every time they open up the excel. 

So the suggested solutions saving in -97 excelversion or starting the Excel in safemode does not work for us. 

The preferred behavior would be that Excel should open up the same way as it was saved.

To bring up the Plugin with the JiRA logo to users that know that they will have to close it down before they can start to work does not NOT make the users to appreciate JiRA or the Atlassian brand.

Another way around this is to save the file as an Excel 97-2003 document when you are sharing with those you do not want to see the pane and it also greys out the Jira Cloud option in the ribbon as well

I don't think this question belongs into this group, but anyhow:

When exactly do you get annoyed when that sidecar opens?

For example, if I close it via the X and open a new empty spreadsheet it isn't opened by default.

It only opens when I open a sheet in an Excel file that has Jira data in it - which in my opinion is good, because then I can refresh the data right away, for example.

It opens only for one specific spreadsheet, no matter how many times i close the window, it opens again as soon as i re-open the spreadsheet,

I am having this ad in since recently, never used it, not even logged in in my "jira cloud"

So all i'm trying to do is get rid of this window as i don't see any point in this window opening every single time, even if i had jira data.,

So please let me know of a solution of removing this side window, i'd be extremely grateful!
