Convinced?

Stacked column and bar chart

Stacked charts seem simple, but labeling, axes breaks and additional decorations can still take a lot of time. This video shows how think-cell helps in this regard and can therefore save you time even in case of common chart types.

  • Excel-based datasheet with formulas
  • Auto-placed segment & series labels
  • Column & bar totals
  • Percentages derived from absolute values
  • Individual series connectors
  • Two types of column & bar breaks
  • Baseline breaks
  • Baseline gaps
  • Absolute & percent difference arrows
  • CAGR arrows
  • Value lines
  • Series CAGRs
  • Automatic series & category sorting
  • "Other" series
  • Table-like layout of series legends

Waterfall chart

To create a waterfall chart simply enter the values to add. Positive values build up, negative values build down. "e" calculates a subtotal. For additional flexibility, you can interactively reattach the reference connector of each segment to change the order of summation.

  • Any combination of build-down & build-up
  • Column & bar waterfall chart
  • Calculation-oriented data entry
  • Arbitrary number of reference connectors
  • Segments crossing the baseline

  • Two types of column & bar breaks
  • Absolute & percent difference arrows
  • Automatic series & category sorting
  • Table-like layout of series legends

Gantt chart

think-cell is the only software that allows you to create complex timeline charts (also known as Gantt charts) directly in PowerPoint. As seen in this video the chart is completely calendar-based and supports a variety of decorations and labels.

Smart text boxes

Using think-cell, you can quickly build up complex slides from text boxes. The big difference when using think-cell is that these text boxes not only snap to each other, but stay with each other, no matter what position or size they have to adopt to make their content fit. Such, the complete layout magically adjusts automatically to your text boxes and their content and creates a well-balanced slide.

Process flow

When building a process flow in think-cell you are not going to use a monolithic, inflexible "tool". You simply insert basic elements, such as pentagons, chevrons and text boxes, onto the slide and combine them to create more complex layouts.

Agenda

With think-cell, creating and maintaining a complete agenda in PowerPoint is as simple as a table of contents in a good word processor. Simply add chapter slides to your deck, type in the chapter titles and think-cell will take care of the rest. Not only when you change titles, but also when you reorder your slides in the slide sorter, the agenda will be automatically updated. In slide show mode, the table of contents as well as every chapter slide can be used for non-linear slide navigation by a simple mouse click.

Powerful presentation tools

think-cell comes with a sizeable set of additional tools to increase your productivity, some of which are shown in the video below.

  • Quick access to common special characters
  • Save and send selected slides
  • Change proofing language for all text on slide
  • Font replacement and resizing
  • Automatic case code
  • Ink removal

Excel data extraction from chart images

With think-cell you can extract numerical data and category labels from any column and bar chart image. It not only recognizes simple column and bar charts, but also stacked ones.

You can start the extraction process either from think-cell internal datasheet or directly from Excel. Move the transparent extraction window over your chart image, hit import and the chart's data and labels will appear in your Excel sheet.

Excel data rounding

When data is compiled for a report or PowerPoint presentation, rounding summations in Excel is a frequent problem. It is often desirable but difficult to achieve that rounded totals match the total of the rounded addends. The video below shows how think-cell solves this problem by offering a set of new Excel functions that are available from a dedicated ribbon group. With a single click on think-cell's flexible rounding function you can do much better than standard Excel formatting and Excel rounding.

The following video shows that think-cell can also solve very complex rounding problems. If necessary, the rounding decisions can be controlled on a cell-by-cell basis. In addition, you can select any set of cells to which rounding should be applied, even with links to other Excel sheets.
