Screen Shots and Descriptions of the
EZ-Format Excel Add-in Tool Features
for Formatting Excel Data and Worksheets
and Creating Excel Subtotals and Data Filters!

Includes every enhancement for Formatting Excel Data and Creating Excel Subtotals.

EZ-Format separates Excel data maintenance tasks from
Excel data formatting and Excel data analysis tasks
to make working with Excel data faster, easier and better.


This could be an Excel List used for manually maintaining data and calculated fields.
It could also be data imported into Excel from an application or from a data base extract.

It is easier to manually maintain data when it is not subtotaled and when it is minimally formatted.
Example of manually maintained data in an Excel worksheet.

Question!  What is the fastest and easiest way to format most Excel data for viewing, printing and data analysis?
The answer after these screen shots!


The same Excel List Data after 8 Clicks and 15 Seconds of EZ-Format Formatting.
This formatted worksheet was created from an automatic copy of the original worksheet's data.
EZ-Format Formatted Worksheet with Subtotals created in 8 clicks and 15 seconds
These are the EZ-Format features applied to the automatic copy of the original worksheet.
Both data and formatting of the original worksheet are un-modified by EZ-Format's automatic copying
Descriptions and Data are Auto-Sized without Soft Returns • Data Filters are automatically created
Description and Total Rows have a Background Color • A Freeze Pane is created between row 1 and 2
State & City fields are automatically moved to the left • Data is automatically sorted by State & City
Subtotals for State & City were created • State values are automatically dragged to City Subtotal Rows
Every Subtotal Row mixes a Count and two Sums • Excel Styles were created and applied to the data
Subtotal Rows are completely Bolded and Gradient Shaded • The Worksheet is Formatted for Printing

The same Excel List Data with Equivalent Subtotals Created Using Only Excel
Excel only created subtotals
These are some of Excel's data formatting deficiencies.
Excel formatting is performed on the original data unless a manual copy of the data is first made.
You must remember to first sort the data in the order of the subtotal break fields (State and then City).
You must remember to create the subtotals in the proper order (State first for Sales Amt and Owed Amt
and again for a Count of Names), then repeat the process for City subtotals for the same three fields.
Excel always creates extra subtotal rows when mixing counts and sums or any of Excel's subtotal types.
Columns are wider than they need to be because descriptions and data are not optimally auto-sized.
Break fields are not dragged for easier viewing; i.e., State values are not dragged to City Subtotal rows.
Excel never mixes different subtotal types, like Count and Sums, together on the same subtotal row.
There are three additional subtotal outline levels because Excel subtotaling does not mix subtotal types.
The subtotal rows are not completely bolded and gradient shaded for easier viewing.
The Grand Totals are confusing and contain Excel subtotaling errors - 3 extra Grand rows.
The worksheet is not automatically formatted for printing.
Not easy, not fast, not nicely formatted, buggy, and don't make a mistake!
Could you manually duplicate EZ-Format's formatting?
Certainly, but not in 8 clicks and 15 seconds!


EZ-Format adds, modifies and removes Excel Subtotals on-the-fly.
Unlike Excel, you never have to remove and re-add subtotals when changing
subtotal break fields, sort fields, subtotaled fields, or subtotal types.

EZ-Format Right-Click Menu showing the Excel Subtotal Type submenu

Unlike Excel, use formulas for Subtotals for Percent and Average fields.
One click specifies the use of an Excel formula for Percent and Average fields,
and EZ-Format wraps the formulas in code to prevent the display of Excel # Errors.

EZ-Format City Only Subtotals - 2 Clicks - there is No Equivalent Excel Capability.
Unlike Excel, EZ-Format can display only the subtotal records at any single subtotal outline level.
EZ-Format created worksheet showing only the City subtotals - impossible in only Excel

Excel almost never displays Subtotal Rows when using Data Filters with Subtotaled Data.
This is what Excel displays after setting the 'Name' filter to 'Steve Smith'.
Excel only created worksheet showing incomplete results when using an Excel data filter with subtotals

EZ-Format always displays Subtotal Rows when using Data Filters with Subtotaled Data.
EZ-Format always displays subtotal rows and the grand total row when Excel data filters are set.

Example of City and State Subtotals re-sorted / ranked in descending order by Sales Amt.
In several clicks all State, City and Detail rows are sorted in descending order by Sales Amt.
There is no Excel equivalent for this useful feature of ranking data after it has been subtotaled.

EZ-Format created subtotaled worksheet sorted in descending order by Sales Amts

Example of EZ-Format Conditional Formatting of data cells in a Subtotaled Worksheet.
In subtotaled data EZ-Format applies conditional formats to only the cells at the selected level.
EZ-Format created worksheet showing the correct application of conditional formats to only the data cells in subtotaled data

EZ-Format Conditional Row Formatting using both the Background Color and the
Font Style of all qualifying Excel Conditional Formats for the 'Sales Amt' data.

Using only Excel, conditional row formatting can only be done by writing complex VBA macros.
Example of EZ-Format conditional row formatting not available in Excel

EZ-Format created Data Filter using only the qualifying 'Sales Amt' Conditional Formats.
Filtering only the rows satisfying an Excel Conditional Format is an exclusive EZ-Format feature.
EZ-Format created data filter created for the Conditional Format rule on the Sales Amt field

Example of EZ-Format subtotals by Name created from a second automatic copy
of the original, separate and manually maintained or imported Excel worksheet data.

Notice EZ-Formats ability to automatically drag reference data (the Phone No) to subtotal rows.
EZ-Format created worksheet showing subtotals by Name using an automatic copy of the original manually maintained data

Example of the 'Name' only subtotals with the automatically Dragged 'Phone No' Field.
Data dragged to a subtotal level is always included in the display of the subtotals at that level.
EZ-Format created worksheet showing only the subtotals by Name including the dragged 'Phone No' field

In EZ-Format worksheets Excel data filters are set and un-set by double left-clicking.
In this example a cell containing 'CA' was double left-clicked to set the Excel filter for State to 'CA'.
Also easily set subtotal row height to 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75 or 2.0 times the standard row height.

EZ-Format created worksheet showing data filters set by double left-clicking any of the 'CA' State values

Remember to manually maintain the data only in the original non-EZ-Format worksheet.

Never manually maintain data in an EZ-Format formatted worksheet that is being
used for viewing, printing and data analysis of an automatic copy of the original data.





EZ-Format!  The fastest and easiest way to format
Excel data for viewing, printing and data analysis?

Features of EZ-Format for Microsoft Excel
Add-in Tools for Formatting Excel Worksheets
and Excel Add-ins for Making Excel Subtotals.


Quickly format the Excel List data in one worksheet into
a completely new and separate formatted worksheet.


   •    EZ-Format always automatically copies the user's original data to a completely new worksheet prior to formatting the data.
   •    The original data is typically an Excel List beginning in cell A1, and the original data can include column totals, no totals or Excel subtotals.
   •    The original data worksheet should include the same fields it would contain if the user were going to manually format and subtotal the data within the same worksheet, including any Excel formula fields.
   •    EZ-Format users can quickly format the original data in one Excel worksheet into multiple differently formatted worksheets.
   •    Users maintain their original data in separate worksheets and periodically use EZ-Format to quickly create completely new formatted and subtotaled worksheets for use in viewing, printing and analyzing their data.
   •    Maintaining original Excel data is quicker and easier when the separate original data worksheets are only minimally formatted.
   •    EZ-Format makes it possible to easily separate Data Maintenance tasks from Data Formatting and Data Analysis tasks.
   •    Separating data maintenance tasks from data formatting and data analysis tasks makes each of these Excel tasks faster and easier.


Split the Data in One Excel Worksheet into
Multiple Excel Worksheets or Multiple Excel Workbooks
for only the designated values in any worksheet column.


   •    The "Split" Excel worksheet data feature included with EZ-Format works with both original data worksheets and EZ-Format formatted worksheets.
   •    The Excel worksheet data to be split can be non-totaled, totaled or subtotaled.
   •    The 'split' data output in the new worksheets and workbooks is never subtotaled.
   •    The 'split' data is not removed from the original worksheet.
   •    If the source worksheet for the splitting of Excel worksheet data is subtotaled, then the fields that were subtotaled in the original worksheet will be column totaled in the output worksheets and workbooks.
   •    To split a worksheet into multiple worksheets and workbooks you first designate the field to be used for splitting and then you designate the indiviual field values to be split from the original worksheet.
   •    Only the designated values in the designated field will be split into new worksheets and workbooks.
   •    When splitting one worksheet apart, the worksheet outputs can be either (1) multiple individual worksheets in one workbook or (2) multiple new workbooks each with one worksheet for one of the selected values from the designated splitting field.
   •    The split data output workbooks are automatically named by the splitter program, and the name can optionally include the current date in yyyy-mm-dd order with zero filled months and days.
   •    By default the file name of the new split data workbooks consists of the name of the field being used for splitting the data, an underscore character, optionally the date in yyyy-mm-dd order with a trailing underscore, and the value of the designated field contained in the workbook.
   •    The Tab name of all split data worksheets is automatically set to the value of the designated split field contained in the worksheet.
   •    Hidden columns can be optionally deleted from the output worksheets and workbooks when splitting the data in an Excel worksheet.
   •    Hidden rows containing the currently selected value for the selected field can be optionally deleted from the output worksheet and workbook when splitting the data in an Excel worksheet.
   •    The location of the output folder used for creating the new split data workbooks can be user specified.


The Default Formatting of EZ-Format formatted Worksheets.

   •    The formatted data is in the same order as the original data.
   •    Excel Styles are automatically created for and automatically applied to each field.
   •    Each column is automatically auto-sized to the wider of either (1) the minimum width required for the data and totals or (2) the minimum width required for up to two lines of field description.
   •    In EZ-Format formatted worksheets the column width of each text field that is 'wrapped' in the original Excel worksheet is automatically set to be the fixed width of the original column.
   •    Properly separated columns totals are created for the same fields totaled or subtotaled in the original data.
   •    Fields using the Excel SUM Function in the original data are converted to use the Excel SUBTOTAL Function.
   •    The SUBTOTAL function automatically adjusts for hidden rows, whereas the SUM function does not automatically adjust for hidden rows.
   •    A row for properly separated column totals is always created even if no totals exist in the original data.
   •    The field description row and the column total row are bolded and shaded for easier viewing.
   •    The default 'Blue' background color of the field description row and column total rwo are user-modifiable by right-clicking in any field description cell or column total cell.
   •    An Excel 'Freeze Pane' is automatically created between row 1 and row 2 to keep the field descriptions from scrolling off the screen.
   •    By default, View Gridlines and Print Gridlines are automatically turned off.
   •    The worksheet is formatted for printing and includes a user-modifiable and user-definable custom Page Header and Page Footer.
   •    By default the Print Formatting includes (1) Date and Time, (2) Company Name (optional), (3) User Name (optional), (4) a user-specified Report Title and Report Subtitle, (5) the workbook file name and location and the worksheet tab name, and (6) a page number and count of the total number of pages.
   •    The print-area is automatically set, and view page breaks is automatically turned off.
   •    The print orientation is automatically set to either portrait or landscape using a user-definable minimum acceptable fit-to-page percentage for single wide portrait orientation.
   •    If the actual fit-to-page percentage in Portrait orientation goes below the user-defined minimum acceptable fit-to-page percentage for single wide portrait, the orientation automatically switches to landscape.
   •    The automatic print orientation can be over-ridden by explicitly setting the orientation to either landscape or portrait.
   •    Excel Data Filters are automatically created for all fields in the worksheet.
   •    Unless explicitly requested at the time of the initial formatting, Excel subtotals are not be initially created.


Do not Add Columns or Delete Columns in EZ-Format formatted worksheets.

   •    Do not directly add new columns to EZ-Format formatted worksheets.
   •    If you need to add a column, add the column to the worksheet containing the original data.
   •    Do not directly delete columns from EZ-Format formatted worksheets.
   •    If you need to delete a column, delete the column from the worksheet containing the original data.
   •    If you can not delete the data or do not want to delete the data from the original worksheet, hide the data in the EZ-Format formatted worksheet.
   •    The EZ-Excel toolbar contains an icon for easily hiding and un-hiding columns in EZ-Format formatted worksheets.
   •    The EZ-Excel toolbar also contains an icon for toggling all of the columns designated as hidden between being visible and being hidden.
   •    By default, the background color of the field descriptions for visible 'Hidden' columns is 'Yellow', not 'Blue'.
   •    The default background color of the field description for visible 'Hidden' columns can modified by right-clicking in the field description of a visible 'Hidden' column.
   •    Hidden columns are not included in the automatic calculation of the print orientation.
   •    The automatic print orientation can switch between Portrait and Landscape as columns are hidden and un-hidden.
   •    Unless currently visible, columns designated as being hidden are automatically deleted from the new worksheet created by using the "Export Visible Data" option on the "U" icon's pop-click menu.
   •    When using the "Split" worksheet feature included with EZ-Format, there are separate options for deleting hidden rows and deleting hidden columns from the new workbooks and new worksheets created from either an original data worksheet or from an EZ-Format formatted worksheet.


Making Excel Subtotals with EZ-Format is fast and easy
and produces report quality formatted subtotals.


   •    EZ-Format cuts the number of subtotal rows in half when creating subtotals of both counts and sums.
   •    When making Excel Subtotals EZ-Format users can mix any combination of Sum, Count, Min, Max, Average, Stdev ... all Excel subtotal types ... on the same subtotal row.
   •    Standard Excel Subtotals do not allow mixing of Excel Subtotal Types on the same subtotal row.
   •    When using only Excel to create subtotals, a Count of the number of Sales Transactions and a Sum of the Sales Amts requires two different subtotal rows for each Customer.
   •    When using EZ-Format created subtotals, a Count of Sales Transactions and a Sum of Sales Amts appear on a single subtotal row for each Customer.
   •    With EZ-Format quickly add, change and remove Excel subtotal types for any field without having to first completely remove and then later re-add the Excel subtotals.
   •    By default EZ-Format created Excel subtotal rows are automatically completely bolded and lightly shaded for easier viewing.
   •    In addition, EZ-Format users can easily change the height of subtotal rows to make subtotals standout even more from the data rows.
   •    Bolding, Shading and changing the Row Height of subtotal rows are not standard Excel subtotaling features.


By default EZ-Format created Excel Subtotals are completely bolded and
lightly gradient shaded for easier viewing, printing and data analysis.


   •    Standard Excel Subtotals only bold the value in the break field and never gradient shade the rows for easier viewing.
   •    Easily remove and re-add EZ-Format's complete bolding and gradient shading of subtotal rows.


Unlike with Excel, Excel formuals can be used to
compute subtotals for percent and average fields.


   •    Summing percents or averages in a column always produces an incorrect result.
   •    To correcly calculate a subtotal for percents and averages requires using the same Excel formula with the Sum subtotals of the two columns for which the percents or averages are being calculated.
   •    When using EZ-Format to subtotal a column of Excel formulas, optionally use the identical Excel Formula or Excel Function to calculate the subtotals.
   •    There is no Excel subtotalling option for using an Excel formula to calculate subtotals; Excel only uses the Excel SUBTOTAL function.


With EZ-Format easily drag data in any field to the subtotal rows below
the data for better viewing, printing and exporting to new workbooks.


   •    e.g. Two clicks will drag the Customer Phone Numbers to the Subtotal rows of Sales by Customer.
   •    e.g. When viewing only Customer subtotals with no customer detail the Phone Numbers are now visible.


Automatically drag all higher level subtotal break
field values to all lower level break field rows.


   •    i.e. Automatically drag the State value to City Subtotal rows for subtotals by States and Cities.
   •    i.e. When viewing only City Subtotal rows the State values for the Cities are now visible.
   •    Higher level subtotal break field values are never dragged to all lower level subtotal break field rows when using standard Excel subtotals.


View only the Subtotals at any Subtotal Level.

   •    When viewing the subtotals for either a specific subtotal break or a subtotal break and all higher breaks, empty data columns are automatically hidden.
   •    When viewing the subtotals for a specific subtotal break the gradient shading of the subtotal rows is automatically removed.
   •    When viewing the subtotals for a subtotal break and all higher breaks the gradient shading of the lowest subtotal break rows is automatically removed.


Automatically Sort Excel Data before making Excel Subtotals.

   •    Never again waste time by forgetting to first sort the data before adding Excel Subtotals to data.
   •    Automatically move Subtotal Break Fields to the left for better viewing and analysis.
   •    Excel Subtotals are easier to visualize when break fields are in order on the far left.


Reorder Multiple Excel Columns in one step.

   •    Use EZ-Format to perform multiple Excel 'Cut' and 'Insert Cut Cells' commands to re-order worksheet columns.
   •    The Excel Formulas in all columns automatically adjust as the columns are being re-ordered.


Automatically create Excel Data Filters for all columns in an Excel worksheet.

   •    After making Excel Subtotals use Excel Data Filters with the Excel Subtotals.
   •    Unlike in Excel only created worksheets, in EZ-Format created worksheets Excel Subtotals work correctly with Excel Data Filters.
   •    Unlike in Excel, all appropriate subtotal rows are visible when Excel Data Filters are set even though the subtotal rows do not contain the filter value.
   •    Unlike in Excel, a single click walks and displays only the data and the subtotals for single data values in any column.
   •    Double left-clicking a cell in an EZ-Format created worksheet sets the Excel Data Filter to the selected value rather than entering Edit mode inside the cell.
   •    In general EZ-Format formatted worksheets are not used for maintaining the data which is still in the original separate Excel worksheet within the same Excel workbook.
   •    To directly edit data inside the cell in an EZ-Format created worksheet select the cell and press F2. Directly editing cell data using F2 also works in Excel only created worksheets.


Export only visible row and visible column data to a new Excel workbook.

   •    Click the 'U' icon on the EZ-Excel toolbar and select 'Export Visible Data' from the icon's pop-click menu.
   •    Use Excel Data Filters to set the visible data for exporting to a new Excel worksheet.
   •    Use EZ-Formats Excel data filter walking feature to quickly switch between filter values in any column.


Automatically Create or Make Excel Styles for each field in an Excel worksheet.

   •    The automatically created Excel Styles are automatically applied to all data values in each field or column in the EZ-Format created Excel worksheet.
   •    EZ-Format creates the Field Styles for EZ-Format formatted worksheets using either the Excel Styles (if not Excel's 'Normal' Style) or the Cell Formats of the original data.


Use Conditional Formats to change background color and font of entire rows.

   •    Upon request EZ-Format will automatically apply the backgound color, the font or both properties of a conditional format to all detail rows for which the Excel Conditional Format test is 'True'.


Re-Sort subtotaled worksheet data by the subtotals of any field.

   •    i.e. Re-sort data already subtotaled by Salesman and Customer by the total Sales for each Salesman.
   •    This additional sorting ranks the Salesmen and their Customers in order by the Salemens total sales from highest to lowest or lowest to highest.
   •    Resorting already subtotaled data by the subtotal values of any field is not a standard Excel Subtotaling feature, and if done manually it is both time consuming and difficult to perform.


Creating and Applying Excel Conditional Formats is fast and easy.

   •    When you create, modify or delete an Excel Conditional Format in one cell, using the standard Excel Conditional Format dialog from the EZ-Format modified right-click menu, EZ-Format automatically applies the same Conditional Format action to all data cells in the column, automatically skipping the cells on all subtotal rows.


Worksheets are Printer-Ready with a Custom Page Header and Page Footer.

   •    By default the Custom Page header includes the current date and time, an optional Company Name, a user-specified Report Title and Report Subtitle, and optionally the user's Name.
