Blue Excel is an add-in tool for Excel that enables you to effortlessly create Gantt charts, integration plans, and resource plans. It facilitates merging of multiple cell contents into one cell and quickly updating data based on ID. It offers easy access to frequently used commands and macros.

The addin even allows you to move, shrink or extend task bars, making schedule adjustments much easier. Additionally, you can set task bar color and create connectors between tasks, which make it easy to understand task priority and dependency. Task information can be shown in the task bar, including detail and precondition information, which can be conveniently shown in front or after the task bar.
All of these features make task reading easy, and you can customize text and task bar colors as well. Blue Excel also allows you to hide/unhide areas, filter tasks, add comments, add columns, add shapes, group rows, and more. Using Excel embedded features, it's easy to manage your plan without having to learn a brand new tool.
But Blue Excel isn't just for Gantt Charts. It also supports integration plan and resource plan making. You can create task bars graphically, move, shrink or extend them easily, and even add detail information to the task bar. Limited text information on text bar is no longer an issue.
In addition to Gantt Chart creation, Blue Excel comes with a wealth of free tools that further streamline your workflow. For example, there's a quick way to filter the selected column, run frequently used commands, and run macros. You can even merge cells content into one cell, find an item between files, check the difference between files, and switch between files quickly. And with shortcuts to set color, mark cells with the same value, filter rows according to the value in the current cell, extract numbers and text, add characters, reverse text, remove space, count characters, convert values to text, remove duplicate rows and cells, and remove ranges, you'll be able to work more efficiently than ever before.
