Someone who builds something like this in form of an Excel plugin will have a real winner. And if you do, and when you make your millions, please send me a check as a show of gratitude :)


Are Excel plugins really a valid market?

I know there are some but I wonder what the size of the entire segment is... 95%+ [<- random large percentage] of places will never allow installation of anything extra!


Essbase and its Excel plugin is a notable exception.


Excel plugins are unfit for this as the app enforces a perfect grid


In Google Sheets I can merge cells horizontally or vertically, does Excel not have that?


Excel does, but merging is not a "best practice". It breaks navigation and causes all sorts of annoying UX issues.

Still, it's unmanageable to replicate the grid in TFA (TFV?) by merging/un-merging cells
