Why use our Excel to PowerPoint link?
Problem
Numbers are calculated in Excel but shown in PowerPoint, requiring repeated, error prone, manual transfers between applications
smartRush solution
With one click automatically update numbers, texts, charts and tables from Excel in PowerPoint
Restrictions of other solutions
- Links can easily be broken, e.g., while editing text or copying/moving items
- Updates fail silently without any reporting to the user
- No online collaboration
- Typical workflows are not supported, e.g., duplicating Excel worksheets
- Dicey workarounds – functionality is at risk with every MS Office update
- Limited scope, i.e. works only with charts or texts
- PowerPoint or Excel performance is significantly decreased, and user experience suffers
- Proven consulting workflows must be changed significantly to use the linking functionality
None of these restrictions apply to smartRush
- Truly unbreakable link between Excel and PowerPoint
- Full documentation of updates
- Full online collaboration with SharePoint Online (e.g., MS Teams)
- Super easy handling, i.e., no need to change your workflows
- Link numbers, charts and ranges
- No lagging, no crashing
Presentations created with our software can be shared to users that do not own our software and remain fully editable.
In case you should ever decide to stop using smartRush, all your presentations will remain fully functional and changeable as if you had created them with standard PowerPoint.
Why use our Excel review tools?
Problem
Errors in high value spreadsheets are hard to identify and performed review actions are not standardized

Why use our data protection tools?
Problem
Working in public places poses a serious risk of data and information leaks
smartRush solution
Temporarily hide sensitive information while maintaining full editability
Privacy mode conceals your corporate slide design and temporarily anonymizes all confidential information such as logos, charts, tables and texts all while maintaining full editability and user friendliness
Problem
Unbeknown to the user, workbooks can contain customer or other sensitive data that cannot be removed, thus posing a serious data protection risk
smartRush solution
Powerful Excel workbook cleaner that can safely remove ghost data
Whenever working with external data sources, you can never be sure that breaking the external link removes all confidential data. Use smartRush to identify and clean all confidential data and media.
