think-cell PowerPoint & Excel Charting Add-in
Verité would like to acknowledge think-cell for the use of their software to quickly create impressive business presentations. They offer their software for free to academic or nonprofit organizations, given that they only use the software for education, public research, or their direct nonprofit core operations.
What is think-cell?
think-cell is a Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel add-in with dozens of features that enable users to easily create complex data-driven charts, maintain a presentation’s structure with auto-updating agendas, and consistently round numbers in Excel sheets. Using think-cell, it is possible to create professional charts such as waterfalls, Marimekkos, and GANTTS within a few minutes, and to further automatically update them directly from linked Excel data. The agenda-building capability is similarly automated—maintaining a complete agenda in PowerPoint functions in the same manner as a table of contents in a good word processor. The Excel add-in enables consistently rounded numbers across both complex calculations and multiple work sheets.
