I am new to ArcGIS for Office and I am trying to add a polygon to a map using the coordinate data in the excel sheet as the vertices on the polygon. Is this possible? Thank for your help.

Hi Douglas, 

It's not possible to make a polygon in ArcGIS Maps for Office using coordinate data (that I know of). What I would suggest doing would be to create the polygons in ArcMap or in ArcGIS Online and then bring them into ArcGIS Maps for Office and join them to the data based on an ID or common field using a Customer Location Type: Add layers from Excel—ArcGIS Maps for Office | ArcGIS

Thank you Carmel. I was afraid of that. I will have to find another workaround then.
