Feedback in 2008

I am a researcher who often work with spreadsheet data. Being not so conversant with programming and all the arcane VBA code, i was looking for something that would help me in data analysis.
ASAP utilities is simply great. I am very happy for having found it. Thank you very much for creating a wonderful utility. I am going to recommend this utility highly to everybody who wishes to enjoy working with excel.
Bastien, I wanted to thank you for the amazing utilities you've created. You probably get a thousand emails a day, but I just wanted to send you my personal "thanks" for a tool that makes my life easier every single day. I live in Excel and ASAP Utilities has saved me countless hours of work.
Simple words: I just can't use Excel without ASAP.
Great work.
Thank you for all that you have been doing year after year to help the worldwide MS Excel users. It is a great job worth many honors.
I want to say thank you for all of your hard work and allowing us the use of ASAP Utilities. I use Excel all day and would be pulling my hair out sometimes without ASAP Utilities. Thank you so much...
I am using your program since long time, allways downloading the last version.
I am very thankful for the ease this program is providing; it makes my life smooth.
ASAP is terrific. I used it a few times and it saved me a great deal of time.
I just want to say thank you for making this utility available to users like me. I have been using ASAP Utilities for a few months but am just starting to tap into its power for making changes to large datasets. I am now convinced that I would never finish my PhD were it not for this utility. I'm not finished yet but I think I'm going to make it thanks, in part, to you!
I've been using ASAP-Utilities now for about six years, and I love it. I requested an addition a few years ago and found that it was available in the next release!
I would like to send a couple of words of gratitude for your creation of an awesome tool. I am in software implementation and training which involves a lot of data manipulation. Your add in is one of the most useful tools to assist in my role and anyone who will listen is told. Thank You.
This is an absolute MUST for Excel
This is a set of Macros that incalculably, upgrade Excel. I estimate that it halves the time and doubles the capacity of working with Excel. (source)
Outstanding Utility for Excel - Easy to use and very deep
Very, very well done. Easy to use and so deep. While in Excel, whenever I find myself thinking "Thre must be a way to do this" I go to ASAP and there almost always is. There is so much going on in this package, I just wish I had more time to explore. The free version is remarkably powerful but I am paying for the package to get automated updates and because, for the first time, I actually feel these people deserve my contribution - they have done great things and and I want to pay my share for future development.

Feedback in 2007

I simply cannot believe how much crunching work I've saved by purchasing ASAP Utilities. Many of the functions are extremely handy and well thought out.
Congratulations on creating elegant, very useful software.
I have just downloaded and WOW! Thanks, for the hours some of these will save me!
Great Job! I have almost become addicted to using ASAP and every version has made me get addicted more and more.
Compliments to all those who are working with you!
I have about a million sheets that all require the same margins. Your tool just saved me from wasting a ton of time. Thanks.
I have to say I absolutely LOVE your ASAP Utilities. I have been using them for years and find them positively invaluable.
Your program is simply fantastic and I will highly recommend to everyone I know! It has already helped me complete my work faster and I have just scratched the surface. Keep up the great work!
Hello there and thanks for a wonderfull utility
By the way I think the tools are great, I use them every day and they sure help me out. Fantastic work.
I was recently made aware of the asap utility, and can't imagine how i could have missed using this wonderful add on for so many years of using excel. It is truly a great addition.
ASAP Utilities is a very useful tool. You have really helped us enjoy using the Excel program.
Love your utility set. Use it all the time to remove blank line, convert case, remove leading & trailing blanks. Really works great.

Feedback in 2006

Let me congratulate you on an absolutely fantastic add-in! I cannot begin to count up the hours you have saved me, and the years you have likely added to my life due to reduced stress and frustrations. Thanks so much!
I've been using your utility for a few weeks and it is saving me at least an hour a day. I am only using 3 functions for now, but that's more than I hoped for. The delete empty rows (90% of my usage), is saving me about 10 minutes every time I download data from a foxpro program to excel, where downloaded data has blank lines after EVERY data line. When data is anywhere from 2,000 to 15,000 lines the sorting to eliminate blanks was a great time waster, do that 5-8 time a day.... and you get the idea.
Now my workday is not 10 hours a day, but only 9 - seriously. Hey, progress is progress. Sometime soon I might actually be home for dinner more than once a week.
I use Excel for data conversions into an accounting based software package.
Some of the functionality in ASAP have helped change a two day database conversion into a matter of hours!
Hi Bastien, Your ASAP Utilities are incredible. I'm so glad I came across it on the internet! You've made my life so much easier.
I've been using ASAP Utilities for about 6 months now, and have greatly appreciated the added functions and utilities that it's opened to me. Congratulations on creating such a useful package.
I LOVE your ASAP Utilities for Excel. It helps me immensely in my work. The tool I use most often is the export to a csv file, which allows me to move data from Excel to our application server.
I am a long-time user of ASAP utilities and I have found it to be one of the best utilities I've ever seen.
I just discovered your software. Awesome!
Thanks for ASAP, just found out about it a few weeks ago and it has saved me hours already.

Feedback we got in the years 2000, 2001 and 2002:

As a Help Desk Analyst for an educational institution, I have found your add-in a valuable tool. Thank you for all the work you've done, for your continuous updated and improved versions, and for providing us with this FREE great time-saving add-in. I constantly use and recommend this wonderful tool!
I have been using ASAP for the last 2-3 years ever since finding it when looking for excel utilities. I use both at home and work. Thankyou very much for the continuing time and work you put into providing an excellent utility.
I downloaded ASAP UTILITIES a few weeks ago, just for try. I must tell you, at first I was a bit sceptical about the utility that ASAP could offer me, because I was used to satisfy my Excel need on my own. But I can tell you ASAP UTILITIES is one of the BEST THINGS I've ever seen in Excel. It's amazing how it helps me in saving time and how usefull it is. I think you're completely right when you say it's a MUST.
Thank you so much for your ASAP Utility for Excel. I was struggling with a 'fill' problem for 2 weeks and your utility corrected it in 10 seconds. This is a great tool and I will tell everyone at my office about it.
Just wanted to let know that you saved me a lot of times and work and I'm overwhelm. You been so kind to help me in this matter and I would never forget it mate.
I downloaded ASAP Utilities last night and haven't used it much yet but my quick review impressed me very favorably. I can see already where many of the utilities will indeed come in handy. Thank you.
I use ASAP every day and find it very helpful. I do a lot of audits and use excel to make workpapers.
Great add-in. I use it almost every day for my data analysis.
Thank's for ASAP,you have saved me much time in my daily work. Super great tools !!!!
Great add in! I really appreciate the time you have spent writing this. Must buy you a beer!
I downloaded your add-in, and gave it a quick look. Very nice job!
You must have heard this a million times, but here goes. ASAP is incredible. I am a novice when it comes to excel, but I use it extensively, trying to do my own thing. ASAP has helped me from the moment I downloaded, which was this morning.
Your web page and the ASAP utilities are very useful.
Thank you for your free addin - you are a excel god - I have been developing my addin in my spare time for years and it is crap compared to this.
I've done some addin for myself but nothing as advanced as this...
Bravo Zulu. Excellent ^100.
Your program is absolutely terrific. I've used about 20 or 30 of the utilities contained within ASAP Utilities. You have truly done all Excel users a big favor. I wish I would have known about your program previously.
It's a cracker...Been using ASAP for about a week now, very useful. Helps me a lot. RESPECT
Wow, this updated version has a lot of useful features that I will definitely be able to utilize. I just love this add-in and have been using it for quite some time. A great big THANK YOU!
It really is a handy little program you have here.
This is amazing. Thank you very much. Fantastic stuff.
Hi! I have been using ASAP for most of the last year and find it extremely helpful. Thank you for your efforts in creating it and for making this nice set of utilities freely available.
Thanks for your product I found it very useful. May I compensate you in any way?
I'm a Sr. Project Analyst, and ever since I tried ASAP Utilities - I've been the talk of the office for quick project completion time and accuracy. THANK YOU.
I have been struggling a little crunching number lists made from text files on another system, your utilities has some of the things that are really going to assist me. Thanks.
ASAP Utilities is great to use. Most of all thank you for it's free use.
I really love your ASAP tools. I don't use Excel that much - this may change now that I have your tools since a lot of the annoyances of Excel have vanished.
Thank-you a million times over. I just downloaded your product - and I love it already. It will save me a lot of time and frustration. The feature I specifically needed was the "Copy Values to empty cells below filled ....." . I was delighted to find your program easily handled this plus gives me so much more.
I've been using ASAP Utilities for Excel for long enough to have become addicted.
How come you're not charging $ for this program? The "Copy formula without changing reference" and the "transpose data with formulas" are at least worth $10 by themselves. Thanks for the freebee.
Let me firstly thank you for your excellent Utilities. All the people at Toyota South Africa are using it.
You have made a very good application and thank you for offering it to the public, it is very useful for the everyday excel user. Thank You Very Much.
These utilities just keep getting better and better.
Good stuff this addin of yours, It's nice to know that there is at least one other person who studied as an engineer, works a lot with spreadsheets and has to be an expert with Arcview (at least in the boss' eyes) in an environmental consulting firm.

You have designed a very usefull/easy to use product. It is very much appreciated.
I have just downloaded and am now trying out your ASAP Utilities. So far I think that they are *great*! Like most tools, there are some features that I will never use, but there are others that I am already becoming dependant upon.
What a great addin! An excellent tool - keep up the good work! Many thanks for a great piece of programming.
I have started using ASAP a few weeks ago and the product helps me everyday getting things done faster than before. Thank you for these very good tools.
Your software, is a wonderful piece of programming. The interface is neat, unobtrusive and inviting. Thanks for creating such a product. I would definitely send the feedback, as I know I will use it extensively.
Thank you very much for the excellent work. I use it on a daily basis and told everybody I know about your tool and its usefulness.
Wow! What a nice set of tools, and such a nice web site. Too bad you don't work for MS.
Your addins are great and the best I have found on the net. Thanks for all your good work and for sharing it to the world.
Thank you for writing and ditributing such a useful add-in!
I have few problems with Excel, but your fine program asap-utilities worked it out, many thanks. We are enjoying to Euro and i must all cells to calculate *5.94 etc and turn it to value. There was 2 formula option: ctrl+shift+I and after that ctrl+shift+p ..great !
We love these utilities and use them everyday now.
Thank you! It seems to work great and will will save me a lot of time.
Thanks so much! I love your program!
Thanks a lot for your ASAP Utilities. Excellent help for me in my work.
Wonderful product, obviously made by someone who uses a spreadsheet in complex real-world applications. Thank you very much!
Just wanted to say "thanks" for making such a useful assortment of addin functions freely available; I know 'next to nothing' about VBA, but can appreciate that it must have taken you a lot of time to write so many procedures.
We're a data processing company, and we do a lot of data manipulations and conversions. Your utility is a real time saver on those rare occasions that we work with Excel!
Bastien, just discovered your site. I don't know how it slipped under my "radar". Looks really promising!
Thanks a lot for ASAP. I use it every day !!
Thanks very much for your help and for a great product!
Super great addin.

I can't help it but say how pleased I am with your macro collection. Keep up the excellent work.
Firstly may I thank you for providing the Excel community with an excellent Add-in. I wonder how I managed before using it.
I've just try your Addin for Excel for a month, and I believe too it's a must. I use it every day.
Found the addin recently. Loves using it. A wonderful addition to excel.
We got at problem that we can solve with you toolkit .... we are lucky !!!!
Very gooooooooood stuff. I was looking for examples on getting rid of special characters, you have it.
I just discovered your "ASAP Utilities" ...and let me say that this program is so good I would have mistaken it for an actual integrated part of Excel if I hadn't known otherwise - it's that good. I feel guilty not paying for it... so the least I can do is say Thank You ...very much.
I am an avid fan of your ASAP Utilities, thank you, you have saved me much time.
