Bar chart with target lines
Imagine plotting multiple target lines on a bar chart for different categories. Now, that adds a whole different dimension to your analysis.
Software tools
Excel Effects develops unique tools with spreadsheets, including games and dynamic dashboards.
We consider Excel for more than just calculating numbers and analyzing data. Overall, you can do almost anything in Excel.
Excel apps
Although these Excel apps are small in size, they pack a punch. In addition, we developed them for you to use in your projects. Keep in mind, you may need to do some tweaking in your journey.
Excel games
Excel games are fun to develop. We like to make if feel as if you are not in Excel when you play one of our spreadsheet games. These games are a great way to take a break at work.
Dashboards
It is great to be able to visualize data in a creative manner, through a graphical user interface. We enjoy developing dashboards to help you easily analyze data.
Templates
Keep your business or personal projects moving forward, in a template. Our templates help you maintain a sense of privacy, while you organize your workload.
Requirements
Most tools in the Excel Effects family require Excel.
Alternative to Excel, try Google Sheets, LibreOffice, or OpenOffice.
Education is key.
Snapshots, quick tips, tutorials and video lessons by Excel Effects.
We love developing software tools and apps. However, we understand the importance of education and learning new things.
Snapshots
Snapshots are brief image tutorials with short summaries. They are great for posting how-to instructions on your desk as a quick reference.
Video lessons
To visually learn things, our video lessons will help you breakdown various tasks in an easy way.
VBA tutorials
VBA or Visual Basic for Applications is the key coding language for Excel. It is good to learn some tricks with it.
Reference desk
You do not need a library card to use our reference desk. So come in, to find information for your projects.
Charting tutorials
Our creative charting tutorials will help you understand differenct aspects of chart design.
Using AI to learn and develop.
When using AI to learn and develop, it tends to speed up the process. In many cases, that is great. Particularly, if you understand what the AI delivers as a solution.
However, we think it is also good to learn how to perform certain tasks from scratch. This can help embed knowledge and information in your brain better.
Currently, we use automation in our projects. In future projects, we may incorporate AI functionality.
If we ever use AI in our work, then you will definitely see a note in the project.
Experiments
Some projects at Excel Effects start as experiments. We finish some, while others remain in limbo.
Feel free to pick up where we left off.
