Get a grip on complex Excel models
Circular references in Excel can be annoying, as Excel alerts you to their presence but not always their location. In a large file, it can take a lot of time to find the source of the problem. PerfectXL saves you this effort by showing you the exact path of the circular reference, helping you identify and resolve the issue.
If your model relies on many defined names, it can become slow and hard to manage. Copied tabs or VBA code can lead to duplicate and hidden names. PerfectXL reveals all these secrets in your model, allowing you to clean up unnecessary, unused elements.
Models that have been in use for a while often accumulate outdated and irrelevant information, making spreadsheets harder to maintain, less predictable, and slower. PerfectXL clearly maps out which information is used in the file and where it’s located. This allows you to delete unused information and clean up your model effortlessly.
Creating a simple overview of all external sources is oddly challenging in Excel, but sometimes it’s necessary, especially when you need to share those sources or when an update isn’t possible. PerfectXL provides a visualization of all external sources, along with a list of formulas, defined names, and rules that reference them.
An Excel model is more manageable and less error-prone when it has a clear structure leading from input to output. But what if everything is mixed up? PerfectXL visually shows connections and characteristics of tabs and cells. Knowing what’s input and what’s output gives you the knowledge needed to reorganize the model.
When many people work with a model or it was created by someone with limited Excel experience, it can become unnecessarily complex. PerfectXL quickly clarifies a model’s operation, assesses its complexity, and offers suggestions for simplification, such as splitting formulas or reducing the number of operations.
There are scenarios where it’s necessary to double-check all formulas in a model. PerfectXL generates a list of all unique formulas and their locations on your worksheets, checking for associated risks, so you don’t have to rely on manual inspection and potentially overlook errors or formulas.
Microsoft 365 Excel no longer supports VBA, and many users want to transition away from it. However, sometimes VBA is outdated and no longer relevant. PerfectXL reveals all VBA modules in your model and the tabs they call, helping you determine whether or not a function should be addressed differently.
