When an existing model no longer meets requirements and needs to be rebuilt, it’s essential to thoroughly analyze what can be improved. PerfectXL zooms in on structure, formatting, and content, allowing you to construct the new model consistently based on evolving knowledge.

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.

How do you determine if you can safely remove irrelevant calculations from your model without consequences? While you can manually investigate dependencies for each formula, PerfectXL simplifies this process. It reveals all dependencies at a glance, allowing you to evaluate the relevance of output and identify unnecessary formulas in defined names.

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.

Before delivering a model to a client, you often want to ensure they can only edit and see what they’re allowed to. With PerfectXL, you can easily mark unlocked cells to verify whether or not the form works correctly. Then, check the visual overview to confirm that all information not relevant to the user is appropriately hidden or removed.

Merging cells is a popular option among Excel users for aesthetic reasons but can lead to calculation errors. These errors can be challenging to spot. PerfectXL marks merged cells, allowing you to carefully remove them.
