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
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.

VBA tutorials
VBA or Visual Basic for Applications is the key coding language for Excel. It is good to learn some tricks with it.

You do not need a library card to use our reference desk. So come in, to find information for your projects.
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.
