Pricing and Features of Professor Excel Add-Ins for Microsoft® Excel®

Pricing and Features of Professor Excel Add-Ins for Microsoft® Excel®

Professor Excel offers a range of add-ins for Microsoft® Excel®. We have the following philosophy for these add-ins:

  • We are “heavy-users” of Microsoft Excel. We constantly use them ourselves so that they are solving real-life problems.
  • We don’t copy existing Excel functions. Also, our Excel add-ins don’t have features that can easily be done with built-in Excel functions. Our goal is to provide real additional value!
  • Our add-ins are very lightweight. They don’t run in the background unless you press a button.

That said, please find an overview of the pricing and a feature comparison below.

Fair Pricing

The Professor Excel Add-Ins are very powerful and extend built-in Excel functions with specialized additional features. Our goal is to reach many Excel users and make the add-ins affordable for a wide range of persons. That’s why we try to keep the pricing as low as possible.

All add-ins can be tested for 7 days. After that, in order to use the full functionality, a premium license has to be purchased. We offer a once-off purchase – after that the add-in is unlimited usable.

Features Overview

Copy & Paste Tools

Copy
Copy a range of cells in order to use the special paste functions
Pro Tip: Use Ctlr + Alt + C on the keyboard.
Copy Again
Copy the last copied cell range again.
Pro Tip: Use Ctlr + Shift + C on the keyboard.
Paste as Link and Transpose
With ‘Paste as Link and Transpose’ you can link and transpose your pasted data to the source data.
Paste Exact Formula
With ’Paste Exact Formula’ you can paste a cell or a range of cells without changing their references.

For example, your formula in cell A1 links to A2. If you copy and paste it with the normal copy and paste function in Excel to B1, the link will automatically be adapted to B2. Using Professor Excels ‘Paste Exact Formula’ function prevents this – your cell reference will still link to cell A1.
Paste Table Into One Column
‘Paste Table Into One Column’ offers three options for pasting a table underneath each other. A reason could be to make your data “pivotable”

Keep original references: If you have formulas within your data, their cell references will persist
Paste as values: All formulas will be replaced by their values
Link to source: Instead of values or formulas, simple links to original cells will be pasted.
