Fuse workbook, text file and database data cheaply and seamlessly.

Our custom Excel macro design can do it.

One of the biggest problems facing business today is that their data is spread out over multiple data sources that do not talk to each other. The solution is not to build another data source and try to import everything into which by the way never works out as billed. The better way is to integrate what you have and get it talking to each other. Excel VBA along with the worksheet again can be utilized to read and integrate data from different data sources that can then be used for various exports and dashboards. The data fusion tools we can build includes:

• Excel VBA software that can read multiple workbooks, 100's even 1000's,  pulling key information from worksheet tables and consolidating it
• Excel VBA macros that can scan worksheets in different workbooks for key information, find it, then consolidate it
• Excel macros that can read multiple data sources like workbooks, text files and, databases and fuse that data into useful tables
• VBA programs that pull data from different type databases and integrate their data into useful tables
• Excel macros that can read data from text files or worksheets, clean it and prep it, then upload it in the proper format to databases like Oracle, SQL Server and Microsoft Access
• Excel VBA macros that can transfer data from one database type to another getting databases that cannot talk to each to talk

Data mine, format and correct your bad data, no problem.

Our custom Excel macro apps rise to the challenge.

The condensed definition of data mining is defined as the process of detecting patterns in data using various methods. While this is a very broad field with many facets, Excel VBA and the worksheet shine at detecting patterns in data and then processing the data based on those patterns. It is the worksheet and its "built-in" attributes that really makes it happen. The data mining tools we can build in this area includes:

• VBA programs that can detect and fix anomalies in worksheet, text file or database data and then process it. This includes everything from detecting data errors to detecting data records that exceed specifications
• VBA macros that can detect incorrect records and information in worksheets then flag them in separate tables or with colors, fonts,...
• Excel VBA programs that can detect incorrect records in text files and databases and then report them in a worksheet table
• Excel VBA software that reads corrupted text file data, corrects it, then processes it. Very big with programs that output their data as text file downloads and use spaces as delimiters
• Excel macros that read stacked worksheet tables, tables with multi row headers, tables with changing headers, adjusts and processes them
• Excel VBA programs that search for relationships between worksheet tables and then processes the data using the relationships
• Excel software that search worksheet tables and text files to see if information from one is contained in the other and then either flags the results or uses them
• Excel macros that scan indented worksheet tables, the data is indented by columns on the worksheet, and then processes it. Very big in business programs that download to Excel

Build automated reports fast, affordable and upgradeable.

Our custom Excel macro design can do that.

Microsoft Excel coupled with VBA is an incredible report environment with the capabilities to make all different types of report formats. Using VBA along with charts, the worksheet, formulas, Pivot Tables, pictures and drawing shapes, your imagination is pretty much the limit of what report type can be generated. VBA can also be used to transfer data to a variety of other programs including Word, PowerPoint, Outlook... basically anything that VBA can command. The report types we can build to visualize your data include:

• Excel VBA software that automatically creates and manages Windows folders placing reports in them
• Unique report tools that can read charts and maps
• Automated summary worksheet tables
• Automated chart construction of all different chart types
• Automated chart construction of multiple embedded charts on multiple worksheets using drawing shapes to overlay and mark data

• Excel VBA software that automatically fills out worksheet forms and tables
• Automated illustrations of table data including time lines, processes, plant layout, maps, technical drawings,...
• Excel macros that transfer data, illustrations and charts to Word and PowerPoint

Visualize your data and projects in Excel dashboards without going bankrupt.

Our custom Excel macro design makes it easy.

Another area that Excel and VBA really shines at is dashboards and in general visual interfaces. The difference between EMAGENIT and other companies in this area is we make them look cool and extremely functional. What we can build for you to visualize your data includes:

• Various VBA automated charts that display key performance indicators, metrics and information of interest as shown on this page and others
• Various technical schematics, 2-d layouts and process diagrams
• Various plant layout and product tracking through the plant
• Using various shapes and pictures to display any data set
• Most important, whatever your imagination can dream up we will make happen

Make project management affordable and automatically scalable.

Our custom Excel macro apps have that built in.

Microsoft Excel with VBA can be used to create cost effective program management tools that can be rapidly developed in minimal time. The tools can use either standard workbooks to house data or pull their data directly from databases. What we can build in this area includes:

• Excel VBA software that turns worksheets into various colored displays that display project status's
• VBA macros that arrange and integrate project status into weekly and monthly worksheet displays
• Excel macros that visualize project status and deployment via timelines using worksheets and drawing shapes
• Excel VBA software that visualizes project milestones as timelines using worksheets and drawing shapes
• Interactive project status worksheets that when clicked on display project specifics, team members,...
• Excel macros that can automatically display project resource allocations as charts and other worksheet based reports

What makes a system like this so flexible and easy to upgrade is when the database is taken out of the picture and replacing it with standardized workbooks housed on SharePoint. With the database out of the way, upgrade efforts focus on the visual displays and reports, not upgrading the databases, the queries,.... Adding project information becomes as simple as adding an extra row of data in a specified place in a workbook. We know, we have built systems like these that integrate hundreds of team workbooks and they consistently beat out the larger programs because of their flexibility and ease of use.

Integrate database information directly in your projects, no downloads.

Our custom Excel macro design makes it happen.

Microsoft Excel VBA and VB.NET posses an incredible array of tools to query and control databases with. The idea is to use Excel as a pre and post database data processor. The idea is to also use Excel as a database visualization tool. We also use VB.NET at this point due to its extraordinary control of databases. Excel VBA can run VB.NET making it seamless to the user. What we can build in this area includes:

• Automated database queries using Excel VBA and VB.NET
• Excel macros that talk to Oracle, SQL Server, Access, workbooks, text files...using SQL
• Automated database record inserts, updates and deletions using Excel VBA and VB.NET
• Excel VBA programs that visualize database data on the worksheet using cells, drawing shapes, pictures and charts
• Excel VBA software coupled with VB.NET that process database data and output it to the Excel worksheet
• VBA macros coupled with VB.NET that upload worksheet based data to various databases

Adaptable scheduling and time management projects.

Our custom Excel macro apps can do that.

Microsoft Excel and with VBA can be used to create interactive time sheet and scheduler type programs. The Excel worksheet takes center stage here again using its unique abilities for data storage and interfaces. What we can build includes:

• Various automated worksheet based time cards using Excel VBA
• Various automated worksheet based appointment tracking programs using Excel VBA and VB.NET
• Various automated worksheet based personnel and project schedulers using Excel VBA and VB.NET
• All of the above can either interact with worksheet based data or data from a database

Integrate your Excel projects with the web.

Our custom Excel macro design makes it seamless.

Microsoft Excel, VBA and VB.NET can be used to read and control web pages and web based databases. VB.NET is especially valuable here with its built-in capabilities and again VBA can communicate with it seamlessly. What we can build in Excel VBA includes:

• Excel macros that can read and control web based databases
• Excel VBA software that can read web pages and their contents such as forms
• Excel VBA software that can scan web pages for certain html components like tables, divs,... and return that information to worksheets
• Excel macros that can control web pages and run their code like JavaScript, VB.NET, CSharp,...directly from Excel

Sweep through workbooks reading, correcting and checking them.

Our custom Excel macro design has the ability.

Using Excel VBA, automated programs can be developed that sweep, read and if necessary correct workbook elements, settings and many types of errors. These style programs can rip through thousands of workbooks housed in different folders monitoring them and keeping them up to specifications. If corrected, these changes might include correcting and reshaping tables, fixing and renaming names, redefining ranges, upgrading formulas, fixing queries, upgrading Pivot Tables...etc. When the programs are done, they can log their change results in worksheets complete with hyperlinks so you can jump to where the problem was located to see what was done. EMAGENIT has designed many of these programs to bring their clients workbooks up to a certain specification so Excel VBA software can then be designed to use them.

Integrate workbooks, VBA code, databases, text files into a model with a pinch of Solver.

Our custom Excel macro design already does that.

EMAGENIT considers modeling as anything that uses formulas on the worksheet to initiate its primary calculation sequence. There are so many model types, we can not possibly list them all here. What we will do instead is tell you what we generally use to build an Excel model. 

Excel components that you already use. When we develop Excel worksheet based models, we use general formulas, worksheet functions, array formulas, names, Excel tables, Power Query, Pivot Tables, shapes, charts, Conditional Formatting, Data Validation and ActiveX controls. We use formulas, array formulas and names because they calculate faster than trying to use Excel VBA for all model calculations. Using Power Query and Pivot Tables allows us to integrate multiple data sources in a model, refresh them and analyze their data. Using these basic features when possible also allows individuals with general Excel skills to manage a model's elements without our help.

Excel VBA to enhance model functionality. While models that use formulas and Excel's built-in capabilities are very powerful, a model's functionality can be boosted many times over by integrating Excel VBA with it. Think of VBA in this instance as a wrapper that manages a model's functionality. EMAGENIT uses Excel VBA to control things in a model like formula creation and fills, model parameter uploads and downloads, cell and range name management, formatting, range clearing, adding and deleting data from tables, data refresh and any type of model reporting. Also when numerical analysis comes into play, we use Excel VBA to create custom worksheet functions that perform those tasks. We also use custom worksheet functions to tie models into other computer languages for greater speed and other programs for "off the shelf" capabilities.

Solver for optimization purposes. We can also tie Excel models into various worksheet problem optimization packages like Crystal Ball and Solver. If you have a model and are trying to find a correct solution, you should be coupling it with an optimization program.

* A note here, user defined worksheet functions or UDF's are constructed in VBA and are executed from the worksheet like a normal worksheet function, think SUM function. They can execute 1000's of lines of computer code from a single cell and work with the like's of Solver or Crystal ball.
