Description

Formula Manager for Excel is an enterprise-grade desktop add-in designed by Uniform Software to help financial analysts, accountants, FP&A teams, and data specialists audit, manage, and automate complex spreadsheets. Operating directly from a dedicated tab on the Microsoft Excel ribbon, it replaces slow manual spreadsheet maintenance with automated batch workflows, formula dependency tracking, and deep structural diagnostics. Key Features & Business Benefits • Workbook Auditing & Dependency Mapping: Inspect two-way formula connections across multi-sheet workbooks using "Referred By" and "Refers To" panels. Quickly locate broken references (#REF!), hidden names, 3D ranges, and external links to reduce model risk. • Extended Diagnostic Scans: Uncover hidden formula logic in non-standard locations, including data validations, hyperlinks, and embedded objects. Identify unused names and duplicate global/local scopes to clean up legacy workbooks. • Batch Naming & Formula Automation: Generate sequentially named ranges (e.g., Region??) or formula patterns across rows and columns in seconds using flexible wildcard syntax. • Bulk Grid Export/Import: Export name definitions to an editable worksheet grid, execute bulk edits, validate formula syntax, and safely re-import definitions into the workbook. • Enterprise Risk Protection: Built-in safety mechanisms automatically create timestamped workbook backups prior to committing bulk changes, scope conversions. Deployment & Purchasing Formula Manager for Excel supports desktop versions of Microsoft Excel on Windows 10 (version 19041.0 or higher) and Windows 11. It is available with a 7-day (Microsoft Store) or 30-day (Microsoft Marketplace) free trial and subscription plans starting at $2.39 USD/month per user/month.
