Macabacus Macros

Productivity and document processing add-ins for Microsoft® Excel® and PowerPoint® that make your life easier.

For Excel®

Macabacus Macros for Excel® includes a large collection of useful keyboard shortcuts and other tools that minimize the amount of time you spend working with Excel®. Users can reduce the time required to perform routine actions, such as cell formatting, by as much as 75%. Although designed to expedite the construction of financial models, these tools are also useful in non-finance applications. If you have used DealMaven®, many of these shortcuts will be familiar.
