To import the above tab, install the Spreadsheet Assistant trial and then download and follow the instructions on custom-tab.xlsx. You can then modify the tab to be just as you want it.

You have done a terrific job with this and I want to say that you deserve every bit of the 40 for it! I paid for the entire suite which is a good bargain as well!!

“I am overdue in complimenting you on your Productivity Package that includes the Spreadsheet Assistant and Visual Basic Macros Made Easy. It is an amazing accomplishment. If I don't learn Visual Basic now I am hopeless. Your explanations are so thorough and your code so loaded with helpful comments. I have been using the macro recorder for a while now but with your inspiration am starting to write a few little bits of my own. I really love the options you give at the bottom of the Spreadsheet Assistant dialog box ("Run Cmd" Assign to Button Help). I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that my favorite utilities are the 5% zoom buttons but I have always appreciated things that are both simple and useful. They should be standard buttons for all applications. I didn't want to start out by saying what a bargain this package is because it kind of carries an unspoken "good for the price" evaluation. However I have to say that your Productivity Suite is truly an amazing bargain. Congratulations.”

“I use the Spreadsheet Assistant every day and it performs flawlessly each time; do not know what I did without it.”
— Barry Haigh
“I continue to use your tremendous software on a regular basis and have lost track of how much time even the most basic of features have saved me. More than the cost of the software several times over. I have recently upgraded to Office 97 and NT4 and am glad that the software still runs as efficiently under the new environment as it ever did. Thanks for the upgrade .. wow .. still so good.”
— Andy Milcoy
“Spoke with the Controller this morning. She is going to clear the Spreadsheet Assistant with our network guy (more courtesy than true veto) and had me demo the Assistant & Report Runner to two of our more computer literate accountants. It was great fun watching their eyes getting bigger & bigger. And then they read the list of macros in The Assistant. They are both sold. ..... Again thanks for a product that actually makes me hate Excel & Bill Gates a little less.”
— Robert Hammond

“I live in Excel all day every day and can't imagine being without Spreadsheet Assistant (been using since at least 2004).....when I help someone else with Excel at their computer, it's frustrating to have to remember the non-SA way of doing things....my favorites besides the indispensable toolbar are the Conditional Select Assistant and Sheet assistant......I'm excited to see how I can use some of the other tools in the Productivity Suite to improve my work output and efficiency.... Thanks for a great product!”
