Excel spreadsheets are a business-critical tool in many organizations. With a growing number of Excel files, multiple users and increasing complexity, Excel spreadsheets are becoming a risk and a costly problem.

This neutralizes the disadvantages of Excel in the enterprise without losing Excel compatibility and flexibility. By connecting multiple spreadsheets in Nooxl Apps, complete enterprise models can be created.
Top 7 Excel problems solved with Nooxl Apps
With Nooxl Apps you not only get a powerful low code platform for spreadsheets. It also solves problems that are common when using spreadsheets in the business without having to give up Excel, like:
Excel problem #1 - Lack of data management
The data is distributed over a large number of files and cannot be modified or analyzed overall
DATA MANAGEMENT
PLATFORM
Nooxl stores the spreadsheet data in a central database and also takes into account changes in Excel format over time. New data can be analyzed across the whole database, exported or imported into the spreadsheets.
Excel problem #2 - No support for cross-file data analyses and reports
Reports on multiple files are only possible with a lot of manual effort or individual programming.
ANALYSES WITH POWER BI, TABLEAU & CO.
The Nooxl Analytics Hub automatically makes the data from the spreadsheets permanently available for direct use in Microsoft Power BI, Excel Pivot Table, Tableau or similar BI tools.
This makes cross-file analyses and aggregations of histories, scenarios and versions possible in seconds.
Excel problem #3 - Slow and uncontrollable monster spreadsheets
Over time, trying to bundle all the data and formulas creates Excel files that are too large.
CONNECTED SPREADSHEETS IN NOOXL APPS
All spreadsheets in a Nooxl app are connected via a cell storage database and can use the data from other spreadsheets. This allows spreadsheet monsters to be broken down into clear, performant files. Thus, entire companies can be modeled in one app using a large number of connected spreadsheets.
Excel problem #4 - Growing formula chaos
With a large number of distributed file copies, formula adjustments and error corrections are costly or incomplete.
CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT OF FORMULAS, FORMATS AND CHARTS
Version management of spreadsheet templates ensures that formulas, formats, and charts in calculations can be adjusted and used independently of the data in the cell storage database. This allows for centralized adjustments and bug fixes to be applied to all data sets through one-time changes.
Excel problem #5 - No involvement in digital transformation
While the free availability of Excel in companies is a great advantage over traditional IT, it leads to uncontrolled Shadow IT and isolated solutions.
„SPREADSHEET FIRST“
LOW CODE APP
Spreadsheets can be automatically transformed into Nooxl Apps without losing compatibility with Excel and the usual flexibility. This means they are integrated into one centralized IT platform that has data, file, user and compliance management, and adds productivity building blocks such as rolling planning, automation, workflows, ai integration and interfaces. Many settings can be "programmed" using Excel formulas. The Nooxl cell storage database does not require any table design.
Excel problem #6 - Lack of specialists for an Excel substitution
According to BITKOM, 96 percent of companies have difficulty filling vacancies in this area.
SELF-SERVICE & PARTNERS
The unique feature of Nooxl is that existing spreadsheet models can be transformed into Nooxl apps without special adaptations, thus leveraging existing knowledge.
Training and documentation are available for the use of additional Nooxl functions such as filters, aggregations, workflows, authorizations, automations and imports.
We recommend starting a larger implementation with the support of Nooxl or a Nooxl Consulting Partner with a suitable partner solution. In this way, you will receive your future-proof individual data management platform in the shortest possible time without any technical or business risks.
