Waterfall chart
Use the waterfall chart to show positive and negative growth from an initial starting point. It is similar to the high-low chart, and a very common tool for analysts.
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
Most of our Excel apps are basic and small in size. They were developed to help you in your projects. Therefore, you may need to do some tweaking to the app, to make it work for your project.
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
Our dashboards help you visualize data in a creative manner. We use selectors and other tools to present data in a user-friendly format.
Templates
We create the template for you. After that, update and process it as you please. These templates are timeless and helps with project management and organization.
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
It is a good idea to learn some techniques in VBA or Visual Basic for Applications in Excel.
Reference desk
If you are looking for information, then our reference desk is one of the places to start.
Charting tutorials
Learn how to build charts and convert information to visual diagrams, to help you easily analyze data.
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.
