POWER COMMANDS - Four Workflows That Replace Four Hours of Work

Power Commands are the heart of Excelerate. Each one chains together a sequence of tools that finance professionals run every week - turning end-of-cycle rituals into a single, guided click.

Model Setup - Bootstrap a brand-new workbook with the standards you wish every model started with: 15 professional cell styles, gridlines off, an automatic Contents page, and the full LAMBDA function library installed as native named functions. Everything additive, nothing destructive.

Full Model Audit - Run 15 audit scans in a single pass and review every finding in a prioritised remediation inbox grouped by severity. Choose Quick Audit (the 7 highest-impact checks) for daily QA, or Deep Audit for handovers and pre-board reviews. Every finding ships with a one-click Jump and a one-click Fix.

Presentation Prep - Eight guided steps to take a working model to board-ready in minutes: gridlines off, executive reset, white borders applied, styles refreshed, sheet tabs colour-coded, charts reviewed one by one, index page generated, hidden sheets surfaced.

Clean & Send - Nine guided steps to strip, lock and ship a workbook safely. Removes audit highlights, purges ghost objects, cleans dead names, severs external links, flattens formulas to values, strips comments, scrubs document metadata, and applies password protection. Express mode for trusted handovers, Guided mode when you want to review each step.

These four commands cover the four moments in the modelling cycle where the most time leaks: starting a model, reviewing one, presenting it, and handing it over.

BUILT AROUND THE FOUR JOBS OF AN FP&A MODELLER

1. The Builder - Constructing the Model

For the analyst writing the model from scratch, or extending one inherited from a colleague. Smart Insert Row, Pivot-to-Formula Transformer, Batch Goal Seek (50 simultaneous solves), Formula Lab (Wrap, Extract, LAMBDA-to-LET refactoring), and a Function Library of 90+ ready-made LAMBDA functions across SaaS metrics, valuation, cash flow, HR analytics, and more. Team owners and admins can also promote a workbook-authored LAMBDA into the org library, where it becomes available to every teammate as a native named function. Promotion is gated by an explicit active-consent checkbox so the writer always confirms before the LAMBDA leaves their workbook. Plus structural helpers: Bulk Clone Sheets, Bulk Rename, Sheet Tab Colouring, and a Manage Styles workbench that syncs custom cell styles into Excel as native named styles, with bulk-import from any existing workbook.

You bring the modelling craft. Excelerate removes the keystrokes around it.

2. The Auditor - Never Guess at a Model

For when you've inherited a model, joined a project mid-flight, or need to defend a number to your CFO. Excelerate's auditing suite gives you 21 non-destructive scans across four sub-groups: Formula Checks, Structure & Flow, Data Quality, and Metadata & Links.

- Hard-Code Hunter highlights every embedded number in every formula

- Formula Deconstructor parses any cell into a visual logic tree with a 0-100 risk score and a plain-English translation

- Logical Flow Map with Laser Trace draws precedents and dependents directly onto the Excel grid

- Worksheet Comparator runs a cell-by-cell diff between two sheets with a 3-mode Audit Heatmap (Hardcoded vs Linked, Formula vs Value, and live Delta matrix linking

to source sheets)

- Complexity Scorer ranks every formula cell by nesting depth and volatility, workbook-wide

- Formula Inconsistency Detector flags broken formulas in dual-mode (likely vs possible) so you tune the false-positive rate

- Plus Circular Reference Detector, Stale Range Detector, Approximate Lookup Detector, and more

3. The Storyteller - Turning Numbers Into Something You Can Show

For the moment a model becomes a board pack. Excelerate ships two chart tools that fix the things native Excel cannot.

The Quick Chart Editor transforms any existing chart into a clean, brand-consistent visual in one click -gridlines, legends, labels, series colours, data label contrast, all controlled from a single panel and synced across your devices.

The Graph Creator builds 6 templates Excel cannot produce natively: Moving Waterfall and Build-up Waterfall (P&L bridges), Football Field (valuation ranges), Tornado (sensitivity), Tornado Comparison (butterfly chart), and Gantt - all driven from a structured master table with dropdown column mapping, all rebuilding live when source data changes.

4. The Distributor - Handing the Model Over

For the moment the model leaves your desk. Excelerate's extraction suite gives you 8 tools for cleaning, hardening and shipping a workbook safely.

- Ghost Hunter finds hidden shapes, very-hidden sheets and dead named ranges

- Name Optimizer categorises every named range as Dead, Unused, Active or Hidden

- Document Properties Scrubber prevents metadata leaks (author names, comments, custom properties) before sharing externally

- External Path Auditor -find, sever, export and unprotect cross-workbook references from a single tabbed tool

- Comment & Note Manager - bulk-clean comments and legacy notes, or convert notes to threaded comments

- Plus Formula-to-Value Converter, Advanced Protection Manager, Generate Index Page and Executive Reset

Every destructive action is consent-gated. Nothing is removed without you explicitly confirming.

ORGANISATION-WIDE CONSISTENCY

Brand 2.0 syncs your organisation's brand colours and 16 audit-display preferences across every device and team member, so charts and audit highlights look consistent regardless of who's editing the model. 20 keyboard shortcuts (remappable in-app via the Shortcut Manager) keep your hands on the keys.

YOUR SPREADSHEET CONTENT STAYS ON YOUR MACHINE

We do not access, copy, store, or transmit your cell values, formulas, sheet names, file names, or any workbook content. Account-level data (your email, organisation membership, custom Brand colours, custom LAMBDAs, billing) is processed by named subprocessors listed at exceleratefinancialmodelling.com/subprocessors. Pseudonymous, account-linked tool-usage telemetry (which tool was used, success/failure, duration - never workbook content) helps us improve the product and can be disabled in Workbook Settings.

BUILT FOR EXCEL, NOT AGAINST IT

Every tool augments native Excel rather than replacing it. Excelerate uses the official Office.js API and Microsoft Fluent UI, and runs across Excel for Windows, Mac and the Web. No installer.
