Clustered column chart with target line
Sometimes, you want to compare values side-by-side (clustered) across multiple categories. With a target line, you get to see who meets or exceeds the goal.
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
So, we learned how to develop Excel dashboards without using heavy code. These graphical user interfaces allow you to creatively view your data in a user-friendly manner.
Templates
For project management, take a look at our templates. They will help you organize projects and maintain productivity. So, put your workload in a nice template.
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.
Quick tips
Our quick tips will assist you in a particular task. They are similar to full tutorials, but generally focus on a key area.
Video lessons
We provide video lessons on Excel and subjects related to spreadsheets. This includes programs like PowerPoint.
VBA tutorials
If you really want to enhance someone's experience in Excel, learn and use VBA or Visual Basic for Applications.
Reference desk
Feel free to use our reference desk to find information on spreadsheets and on topics related to Excel.
Charting tutorials
Knowing how to design charts will help you greatly in the job market and with your personal work.
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.
