Macabacus saves me time on Excel and PPT by providing shortcuts to functions that otherwise would take up a large amount of time, ----- ### "The Definition of a Sticky Service" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 August 2023* | Investment Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The excel functionality, shortcuts, formatting tools, exporting, literally everything in excel. This is the most powerful and intuitive tool I've ever used. It is a must have for modeling and data analysis. It enables you to audit complex sheets while building new ones with ease. > > **Cons**: The worst thing about macabacus is the name\! Other than a slightly difficult name to say, it is amazing. I do wish building some of the content libraries and graphics in ppt were a bit easier to do, but its a very small nit on what is otherwise an easy and powerful tool. > > If my company stopped paying for Macabacus, I would pay for it out of pocket. I can not use excel without it anymore. It is the most useful and powerful tool I have and I use it literally all day every day. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/418940/macabacus?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/418940/macabacus) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
