Does your organization have complex Excel spreadsheets that solve real business problems? Do those spreadsheets have dozens of cross-linked tabs that only one person really understands? Are those spreadsheets large, slow to open, slow to run, unstable or need maintenance every month because something breaks? If so, we can help tame your Excel beast.

We understand that if you can’t simplify that spreadsheet, bad things will happen. It will cause its author to be on call every business cycle to run it. It will fail at the worst possible time thus delaying key processes. It will also make its creator hate their job – which creates key person risk for the company. Why should Excel’s benefits be overshadowed with risk for your company and yourself?

Excel is a fantastic tool used by nearly every company in the world. We know the work your spreadsheets do is important and delivers real value to your organization. We’ve also seen super complicated workbooks with 180 cross-referenced sheets that took 3 minutes to load, crashed several times per day and caused its author to work 14-hour days during quarter end.

We helped that company simplify their spreadsheet by extracting its historical data to a database and load just the portion needed for an analysis. We reduced cross references, added code to populate key cells, replaced hardcoded references, added in-sheet documentation and in the process shrank the file from 60 MB to 5 MB, reduced load speed to 5 seconds and stopped the crashing for good. Now anyone can run the sheet with a minimum of training and its author is free to go home at night.

It’s time to confront the bully and force your spreadsheet to work for you, not the other way around. It’s simple to get started. Just give us your contact info, tell us a bit about your spreadsheet and someone from our team will be in touch shortly to arrange a free consultation. We’ll create a plan for your approval, give you an estimate and put you in the driver’s seat.
