The Create ribbons in Office
Featured video: Marimekko charts
Our awesome chart engine draws a Marimekko chart from any data set. Whether you need a 4×4, 10×10 or 2×5 – it doesn’t matter to Create.
Best of all, your Marimekko is an Excel chart object which you can edit, format and send to PowerPoint just like any other Excel chart.
Charts fully formatted…in one click
Clients love our lightning fast charting tools. With Create you can format any chart in seconds with your company branding and house style.
It doesn’t matter whether you’ve just made the chart or you’re using someone else’s spreadsheet – with Create, you can format, size, send and link the chart to a PowerPoint presentation in a single click.
Format tables in your company house style
Our powerful table formatting tools will enable all users to completely format a complex financial or text table in just a few clicks – whether in PowerPoint, Excel or Word. Apply styles for heading, subtotals, percentages and comparisons using our handy “point and click” task pane interface.
Complex charts? Simple solution
Need to create Waterfall charts, Bubble, Marimekkos or Price Volume charts, but find Excel not up to the job? Even experienced users can take many hours and hundreds of clicks to assemble.
Create’s dynamic charting wizard takes the complexity away by reading your data and drawing a best practice chart from scratch, whilst applying your corporate branding and house style.
Linking to Excel source data
Our proprietary linking technology works like magic – allowing you to update an entire slide deck or just one chart or table – in a single click.
Create gives you total control over all your linked objects: charts and tables update on your instruction and not before, and you can view your links in a handy dialog.
Should the source data be moved, deleted or renamed, Create will never cause your document to hang or crash, but simply tell you which objects it was unable to find or update.
Advanced charting tools
Create’s charting tools provide simple, one click solutions to many time consuming tasks in Excel and PowerPoint. Struggling to get to Pie charts the same size? Use our Plot Area tool to match them exactly. Need to add a CAGR, Average or Forecast Period to a chart? Now you can apply them to your chart in a single click.
Corporate colours at your fingertips
No more manually typing in RGB colours or relying on the Office breakdowns of tints for your complex charts. Now you can load your company palette directly into the Create ribbon. Importing your core colours directly from an Office theme – and then add or change further tints, name all your colours to make them easy to identify, until you have your full colour palette – up to 40 are supported in Create.
Select, Make, Swap Shapes
Drawing a complex diagram in PowerPoint and struggling to make it look uniform and consistent? Our drawing tools add the functionality to PowerPoint that you have always needed – allowing you to exactly match the proportions of shapes, and format multiple objects in a single click. Select all items of the same fill or style. Swap shapes easily on a page.
