Customer Praise

“Fantastic Add-In. I'm having a great experience with it, I did some research and it's by far the easiest method for transferring data from Excel to Word. My company has some quite complicated Excel documents and I was able to name 141 cells of varying content and have them transfer over into a word template report.”

Brian O.

“Fantastic is all I can say - this automation has changed my life. If you create content in Excel and then reports, letters in Word .... then just give it a try.... it will make you smile. Well done to the team at AnalysisPlace. The first time software made me smile... ever.”
