As Xcelerator is used with Excel to format data, it transparently creates a re-usable workbook format. When formatting new data for fields previously formatted Xcelerator automatically creates an identical workbook using the selected workbook format. Within seconds Xcelerator automatically transforms unformatted data into a formatted workbook better suited for viewing, printing and data analysis. Xcelerator automatically changes field descriptions, creates calculated fields, re-orders and hides columns, sorts, creates better formatted subtotals, applies Styles and Conditional Formats, creates Charts, PivotTables, PivotCharts and formatted Drill worksheets. Every major Excel formatting feature applied to a set of fields can be automatically duplicated by Xcelerator. Additional features include the extraction of subsets of fields for formatting, the splitting of one worksheet into multiple worksheets by the values in any field, the resorting or ranking of subtotaled data by the subtotals in any field, and the mixing of subtotal types like Sum and Count on every subtotal row.

Xcelerator combines the time saving Excel formatting and data analysis features of the separate EZ-Format, EZ-Chart, EZ-Pivot, EZ-Calc and EZ-Stat products with the unique ability to automatically and identically format new data in seconds.

Steve Sawyer, President of DPPI commented that "While users are quickly creating feature-rich and printer-ready worksheets, charts and PivotTables, Xcelerator is transparently creating re-usable workbook formats in the background. New or updated data for sets of fields previously formatted is identically re-formatted in seconds with little user intervention. Unlike using only Excel to format data, Xcelerator users never lose the time invested in formatting."

Clint Erickson of DPPI went on to say that "Xcelerator is a radical change in the Excel formatting paradigm. The Excel formatting methods used today are essentially the same labor intensive manual methods used 10 years ago. With the help of Xcelerator Excel users can easily achieve a 75 percent reduction in the time spent on formatting data, and more than double the utilization of Excel formatting and data analysis features."

The following is additional information pertaining to the latest release of Xcelerator for Excel. The Xcelerator API allows application developers to pass data directly into Xcelerator for formatting.
Larger organizations can create sets of standardized workbook formats for distribution to users.

The complete version of Xcelerator is available for a 15-day evaluation from CNET's download.com. The software continues to be priced at $99.95 USD per user with free lifetime updates.
