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
You can do just about anything in Excel. One of the things we like to do is, develop games in Excel. It is an amazing thing to accomplish. Especially, if you make it look as if you are not in Excel.
Dashboards

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
Our video tutorials will help you learn particular tasks related to Excel and presentation technologies.
VBA tutorials
It is a good idea to learn some techniques in VBA or Visual Basic for Applications in Excel.
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
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.
