"Makes excel faster, formatting quicker--need to be native!"
5/5
What do you like best about Macabacus?

I like that I can easily format the numbers and add the types of borders that I want to add. My job in finance wouldn't be the same without it. I see no other alternatives that are as good as macabacus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macabacus?

I wish that it was a touch more user friendly, or that the tutorials were a bit quicker to pick up on. It has a bit of a learning curve, to be sure, and I almost wish that there was a "Beginner mode" that clicked off once you've used it for a few months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
