Don't take our word for it. Here's what they have to say about XLNavigator.
Really easy to use. The tutorials are really useful and explains how everything works. Working with dates and navigation in Excel is a breeze now!

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.
FFrancois TredouxXLNavigator 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 XLNavigator calendar and date-picker have spoiled me, and I cannot go back to typing dates manually in Excel. The resizeable calendar makes planning so easy. Planning, reviewing, and flipping dates in Excel is incredible! 100% worth it 🚀🚀🚀
MMyrna Botha
I love the interactive calendar on the side that lets me pick a date visually and update the selected cells with that date. The calendar can show me a full 12-month view and week numbers, and that is very handy as I plan out training and planning schedules for the upcoming year. I also got spoiled with the vertical tabs that feel more natural to use in Excel.
MMartin PretoriusImporting ad hoc data from Excel into SQL is easy with this tool. I love the option to specify a minimum varchar length and step up in specified increments in varchar length instead of just setting the varchar length to the longest string in Excel. Exporting tables and views are also quick and easy the way it should be

Having the sheet tabs in Excel on the side feels natural and is effective for finding and selecting specific sheets, and even in smaller spreadsheets, I see the Excel vertical tabs as my preference. I am not sure why this is not part of Excel out of the box. What's not to love?
RRene ReetzThe ability to quickly select any block of cells of data in Excel and then load it as a new table in SQL Server in no time is beneficial to me. I work with SQL and Excel every day. Trying to import data into SQL Server using SSIS or the import wizard several times daily is frustrating, especially when running into import errors!

"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!
DDaniel HerbertCombining 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.
