It is simple to use and highly functional. > > **Cons**: A glitch develops where Macabacus will deactivate when I'm working on a model. I need to close out Excel and re-open it. When working with multiple documents, that can be somewhat frustrating. ----- ### "Macabacus Review" — 5.0/5 > **Jason** | *4 February 2025* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Timesaving shortcuts such as autocolour, quick CAGR and align across table for PPT > > **Cons**: Excel sometimes not being able to load because of the Macabacus add-on taking time to load > > Good overall experience. Macabacus saves me time on Excel and PPT by providing shortcuts to functions that otherwise would take up a large amount of time, ----- ### "Review of Macabacus" — 4.0/5 > **Edward** | *8 August 2023* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Macabacus has extremely comprehensive Excel functions (Tracing dependents, 'super' search, keyboard shortcuts) and in PPT is just as helpful (Copying format, shape sizes, aligning sizes, importing pictures from Excel) > > **Cons**: I find Macabacus slower in large workbooks, especially relative to other Excel plugins, which render it sometimes almost unusable and frustrating ----- ### "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. ----- ### "The absolute go-to tool for excel modeling in high finance jobs" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *9 August 2023* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Macabacus's key strength is that it allows you to very quickly format your data and enhance excel's native tools. While this doesn't sound like much, it's a game changer. I don't have to spend time thinking whether or not my data is presentable, and I know that if I have to track through an advanced model, I'll be able to easily do it. There's no way I could do my job as quickly or efficiently without it. > > **Cons**: The only thing that I don't like is that some of hte native features take a bit of getting used to, and the learning curve is pretty steep, but after that, it's smooth sailing. > > We use this daily in my job in private equity and it makes my entire job and ability so much quicker and smoother. I wouldn't be able to work as efficiently without it. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/418940/macabacus?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/418940/macabacus) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
