Excel needs Fast Checks & Assurance
When there’s a rush to deliver or review a model, there’s not enough time to manually check all data and calculations. Still, you need some level of assurance. With PerfectXL, you can quickly check for major risks, such as broken formula sequences, incomplete references, and whether External sources are properly used.
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.
If a spreadsheet is filled with error messages, you can’t confidently share it with a client or colleague. Manually identifying each error is time-consuming and often a task to avoid. PerfectXL shows you where the error messages are, which cells they refer to, and their risk level, making it easy to resolve them quickly.
Hardcoded numbers in formulas should be avoided, as it’s often unclear what they represent, and when variables in the model change, hardcoded number are often overlooked. PerfectXL helps you identify risky hardcoded numbers in your model, excluding common constants like 10, 100, and 1000.
Models that have been in use for a while often accumulate outdated and irrelevant information, making spreadsheets harder to maintain, less predictable, and slower.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.
Concentrating for several hours is challenging, and mistakes can happen. After working on a model for extended periods, it’s beneficial to scan the quality of your work. You can use PerfectXL to compare the previous version of your model with the new one and ensure that only necessary changes have been made.
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.
When presented with an unfamiliar model, it can take a lot of time and effort to understand its structure and content. PerfectXL helps you grasp the essence of a workbook quickly by visualizing interconnections between tabs, input, output, external sources, and VBA modules, providing an overview of the overall model.
If you’re responsible for due diligence or ensuring the quality of internal or external Excel models, you need a blueprint of the information flow and a list of all formulas to assess risks. PerfectXL provides this information automatically, along with consistent guidelines for improvement.
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.
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.
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.
