FullScope Solutions Releases xCELLcolor for Excel® Font and Background Color Based Data Analysis

RESTON, Va. - March 29, 2013 - PRLog -- FullScope Solutions, LLC, a Reston, VA management consulting firm has released its xCELLcolor automation add-in for Microsoft® Office Excel® 2007, 2010, and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit) for download and sale to the public.  xCELLcolor affords users the ability to count and sum values by cell background color and by font color on data that has been traditionally or conditionally formatted.

The application of color to data improves readability, allows viewers to visually analyze the data, and draws focus to the important aspects of the results.  Sales projections, revenue forecasts, and accounts receivable reports are but a few examples of common worksheets that can be greatly enhanced through the inclusion of color.  The infusion of colors into these reports adds a new dimension beyond the numerical values to represent the status of a sale, the probability of the revenue, or the delinquency of an invoice.  

To date, users could apply color to their workbooks, but had no means to sum or count a range based on the color applied to the background of the cell or to the font.  Answering a simple question like, “how much of the projected revenue for this quarter is at risk (red)?” becomes a complicated exercise.  xCELLcolor adds the critical functions required to answer this and other questions!  Specifically the tool adds formulas to:  sum by background color, count by background color, sum by font color, and count by font color.  The addition of these functions empowers the average Excel® user and allows them to analyze this new dimension of their data without complex workarounds and macros.

"Organizations large and small rely on Excel® to perform critical business functions.  We are excited to offer this simple yet powerful tool that has proven to greatly increase productivity and easily allow for multi-dimensional data rendering and analysis for a widely popular business application."

xCELLcolor is proving to be widely popular across industries with a recorded install base in the consumer and industrial goods, healthcare, utilities, financial, technology, and services sectors.  Here is what a few of our customers have to say about the tool:

"It did exactly what I wanted it to do. Such a simple task, you would have thought that Microsoft® would have included it as a function...I will recommend your program to anyone that wants to sum a column with specific cell colors."

"xCELLcolor is really cool, saving a lot of sort by color time and giving me more flexibility in building my worksheets. Thanks."

“Just downloaded your program and really like it a lot.  Saves lots of time on budgets we do.”
