Retired Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ASAP is vital supplement to excel" December 14, 2022 5.0 I have primarily used it for Volunteer projects involving genealogy. The ability to sort and divide data transcriptions has been very helpful. At times it has bizarrely vanished from Excel and a reopening of Excel or worse reinstalling ASAP has resolved the problem. I suspect this is an Excel issue more than ASAP. Pros This software provides several key functions to make items like sorting or manipulating Excel entries easier. Cons Can at times be overwhelming. Long descriptions of functions. Needs a better help and documentation section. Review Source SB Sherry B.

I got 4 employers to buy me a license while I worked there, only 1 of which carried the software in their software library. I have tried many "all-inclusive" add-ins for Excel, and plain and simple, they failed to compare to ASAP. Oh and I forgot to mention, many of those other add-ins are VERY expensive AND not as good as ASAP Utilities. I will be now and forever an ASAP Utilities user for life. Pros The "automated" tools within the add-in, are exactly what I want and need to use most. This allows me to work most effectively. How often are you working on source data file (exported from another system), although your data only extends 1-2K rows, the "range" within the sheet is far beyond 100K rows. Reset Excel's last cell to the rescue! That one has been moved to #1 on my ASAP favorites, along with deleting leading and trailing spaces. Cons I would love to see a future version that includes Excel Formula Auditing tools within the existing features. I feel Formula auditing should be a separate sub-category and not "looped in" with formulas. Each of the tools within each sub-category has lots of tools (that is great), but sometimes I do have trouble finding my favorites. Any chance of adding an option to make certain ones display as bold? Review Source AC Alan C. PD Associate Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great experience. Allows me to manipulate and work with great loads of excel data. " May 7, 2018 4.0 Makes me work more efficiently and fast. Pros Easy to use. Offers a free trial version that may last 90 days. Innumerable types of macros that will make your life a whole lot easier. You can create shortcuts to your favorite utilities. Cons Permanent use requires the purchase of a license. It may take some time to find out the tools you need. It can sometimes uninstall by itself and you'll have to set it up again as an add-in to the excel. Review Source KC Kay C. Software Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Every day use and saves you time" January 20, 2022 5.0 I love it! I've learned how to do a lot from this product and it allows me to focus more on getting meaning from the data in the spreadsheet than spending my time manipulating the data to get it to where I need it to be. Pros You can download and install this product in 2 minutes, then you will use it every day. I know formulas to do things like concatenate and If..then but it is easier just to click a menu option and have it done for me. I love reset last cell. I love remove first X characters - this doesn't change the cell formatting even if the first character is a minus sign, remove after X characters, convert unrecognized text to numbers, remove carriage returns, change the sign on numbers, change formulas to their calculated values, advanced sorting, transpose columns in multiples - as you can see I use many, many features and there are a lot. Most of the plain features offer several ways you can enhance them to do multiple steps at once. I also love the "start last tool again" feature. Cons I have run into a few features it does not have, so occasionally I have to look up the way to do those. But if you are a basic Excel user who just wants to click one and done, this is the product for you. If you are an intermediate Excel user you will appreciate all the time this saves you, and even if you are an expert and like writing everything from scratch, you will get some use out of this product I guarantee you.

I would recommend this tool to everyone who works with lots of data every day. I always asked my colleagues to install this addon to improve their productivity.

Ive recommended it to so many people that, last year, a woman I work with told me about this incredible function called ASAPUtilities. I was like, whaaaat? I'M the one that told YOU about it! I wish there was a newsletter or something that would send a feature a day because I am sure there are untapped resources I haven't gotten around to learning about. I have my Favorites bookmarked and, if I'm ever stuck on something in Excel, I go to ASAP before Google to see if there is a solution. Pros Simple to search and find tools and save them to your Favorites. Cons That there is not time enough to learn all the features. Review Source SS Sandra S.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Online Marketing Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A must have addition for Microsoft Excel" February 7, 2018 5.0 I haven't find a better alternative, and this is a must for everyone that uses Excel. Pros It has all these little macros that help you make Excel so much easier to use. For instance, you can remove all empty cells/rows with a single click, you can detect duplicates within a set of data and many many more. If you're an Excel user trust me you need this, as it will help you do faster what otherwise would require writing a complicated function. Cons After a while (think it's 3 months) it doesn't let you continue using it unless you update it by visiting their site. Wish they had a simpler update process.

Planner Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User friendly, intuitive, and so many shortcuts, its essential" September 24, 2020 5.0 i use P6, and having the ability to add an ' at will to values really helps when importing into the software. many other aspect, such as complex merge, and "on mass" removal of trailing characters also helps (P6 has a max input of 100 values for an activity name). Pros there are so many little functions that ASAP utilities does, that could be done in Excel itself, with formatting, formulas etc, but ASAP put them all into a single point. Easy to find and easy to use. Cons some of the advance replace and remove functions are had to gauge, with many characters looking very similar, so replacing the correct one can be challenging. needs more options for date and time recognition also Review Source Anand B.
