Description
Date Picker for Excel by Uniform Software is a native desktop utility designed to replace error-prone manual spreadsheet date entry and deprecated ActiveX/VBA controls. Built as a compiled .NET/WPF client for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows architectures, it embeds a responsive, cursor-tethered calendar overlay directly into Microsoft Excel (versions 2013 through 365) without triggering IT firewall blocks or macro security warnings.
Unlike legacy macro workbooks or modern web task-pane add-ins that hog system memory and screen real estate, Date Picker operates as a lightweight native hook into the Excel Ribbon UI and right-click context menus. It maintains tight grid stability across split views, frozen panes, and varying zoom states.
Key Technical Features:
• Auto-Detection Engine: Scans date fields, values, and column headers across 50+ languages to trigger the pop-up calendar upon cell focus.
• Regional Format Overrides: Bypasses OS locale conflicts (e.g., US MM/DD/YYYY vs EU DD/MM/YYYY) by enforcing strict administrative whitelists and blacklists.
• Multi-Month Grid Navigation: Supports expandable visual grids from 1x1 up to 10x10 multi-month layouts for long-range planning.
• Enterprise Security & Deployment: Distributed via the Microsoft Store and Microsoft Marketplace. Zero reliance on VBA scripts or ActiveX MonthView components.
Includes an unrestricted 7-day (Microsoft Store) or 30-day (Microsoft Marketplace) free trial, followed by a $0.99/month user subscription covering up to 10 concurrent Windows devices per account.
Description
Mind Map Maker for Excel is a native Windows desktop Excel-based app that turns plain-text lists and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) data into visual mind maps, org charts, and flowcharts directly inside Microsoft Excel (2016+).
Engineered for technical users, analysts, and project managers who want to eliminate manual shape drawing, the add-in uses a local calculation engine to determine geometric node placement, spacing, and connector path routing automatically.
Technical Overview & Key Capabilities:
• Local Execution & Data Privacy: Runs on-premise as a native COM add-in. All diagram calculations occur locally on your machine—no spreadsheet data is transmitted to external cloud servers or third-party web whiteboards.
• Automated Layout Engine: Reads hierarchical text rows or WBS codes (e.g., 1.1, 1.2) to calculate layout geometry, position shapes, and draw straight, elbow, or curved connector lines with zero manual drag-and-drop.
• Native Office Shape Export: Renders diagrams using standard Microsoft Office graphic objects. Generated charts can be copied and pasted directly into Word or PowerPoint as fully editable, native shapes without losing formatting or requiring add-in installation for viewers.
• Ribbon UI Integration: Adds a dedicated tab to the Excel ribbon with single-click tools to insert, delete, reorder, elevate (Make Parent), or demote (Make Child) node tiers and filter tree rendering depth (Levels 1–5).
• Distribution & Compatibility: Distributed via official Microsoft Store and Microsoft Marketplace channels. Supports Windows 10/11 (X86/X64) and desktop Office 2016 or newer ($2.99/mo, fully functional free trial available).
