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.

An auditor’s assessment of a model’s quality, accuracy, transferability, and structure is critical and requires thorough examination. The PerfectXL Suite facilitates a systematic review of all aspects of your model, ensuring you don’t overlook any potential issues.

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.

Seeking a second opinion from a colleague can be confronting and nerve-wracking. Prepare effectively with PerfectXL. First, review the vulnerabilities in your model and note where you believe they are defensible. Additionally, assess the visualization of the model’s ‘flow’ and determine if it’s logical. This visualization also makes the review easier for your colleague.

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.

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.

Excel templates are often used as forms, and when you receive them filled out, you want to ensure the template itself hasn’t been altered. A quick check with PerfectXL can instantly show if only data has been changed or if there are alterations to formulas, VBA, or structure.

Unclear naming and lack of documentation often lead to questions and issues when changes occur. PerfectXL quickly highlights differences between two versions, ensuring you’re aware of modifications. You can export the report to maintain a record of all developments.

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.

Many will know of formal or informal guidelines for good Excel modeling. Things like FAST, ICAEW Principles, and many more are in place to encourage good practices in Excel, but reminding yourself and others to keep to them can be strenuous. Being able to automatically check your model against principles helps to quickly evaluate quality.

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.

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.

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.
