Some of the 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.

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'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.

Some of the 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 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.

Some of the 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.

I think you're completely right when you say it's a MUST.

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.
