Don't take our word for it. Here's what they have to say about XLNavigator.

    • Having a date-picker calendar on the side in Excel is so convenient when working with dates in Excel. Although setting dates in cells from the calendar is handy, visually seeing corresponding dates on the calendar when selecting cells containing date values is very handy.

    • XLNavigator is genuinely an incredibly useful addition to Excel. I often receive Excel files with 15-20 sheets or more of financial data from my clients, which I have to review and use in preparing the clients' financial statements and tax returns. The Excel vertical tabs immediately show me all the sheets and even hidden sheets in the spreadsheet without having to scroll one bit, and that is a massive time-saver for me! Feels like a super power! :D

      "The tool is exactly what I didn't even know I needed."

    • Selecting a range of data cells and inserting that data selection as a new table into SQL Server on an ad-hoc basis is part of my daily workflow as I do most of my data analysis and database conceptual prototyping in SQL and Excel. Using the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard requires several steps to import data from Excel, and errors can occur during the import process. XLNavigator lets me stay focused on my task rather than going down a tangent trying to get the data into SQL Server. What a simple yet powerful tool!

    • Combining the Excel vertical tabs on the left side with the horizontal standard tabs makes for an excellent solution to plan out spreadsheet-based content rapidly. I use the handy interactive calendar tool daily for planning dates. I do everything in Excel, and I cannot do so without this amazing add-in.
