Excel offers various ways to hide information, which can be useful but problematic if you need to make adjustments and you are not aware of hidden information. PerfectXL quickly notifies you and allows you to reveal all hidden information, even ‘very hidden’ worksheets, so you’re aware of what’s happening.

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.

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.

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.

Using the same formula across a range is a common practice in Excel, and many models have formula sequences. However, these sequences are vulnerable, as a small change in the model can break them. PerfectXL checks formula ranges for irregularities, enabling you to fix interrupted sequences before problems arise.

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.
