SwiftCell
For finance professionals

Stop rebuilding the same Excel work every time.

SwiftCell saves your cell styles, number formats, formulas and range blocks to a library that follows you into every workbook — then applies any of them with a short command you name, typed straight into the cell. No ribbon. No mouse.

The modelling is the job. The rebuilding isn’t.

Too much of every reporting cycle goes on Excel work you have already done once.

The rebuild

The corkscrew, the variance block, the header row. You have built them dozens of times, but finding the old workbook takes longer than starting again — so you start again.

The ribbon detour

You know every shortcut Excel has. Where there isn’t one, it’s three menus deep or a trip to the mouse — for the same custom number format you applied yesterday.

The late-night polish

The numbers were right hours ago. The formatting is why the file is still open — and an inconsistent total line is the first thing a reviewer circles.

What makes SwiftCell different

Commands you name, typed in the cell you’re already in.

Applying your styles, dropping in your blocks, fixing the things Excel makes tedious — each is a short string typed straight into a cell. No ribbon, no shortcut chords, no mouse.

Save it once:

  1. ;;prefix
  2. save rsave a range block
  3. -n "CY vs PY"its name
  4. -a varyour alias

From then on, type ;;var in any cell of any workbook and your CY-vs-PY block is stamped at the selection — values, formulas and formatting.

Your words, not ours

Give anything in your library an alias of up to 32 characters — hdr, aud0, tot, 2dp — and that is its command. Shorter than the shortcut, and you remember it because you chose it.

Your hands stay on the keys

Type the command in the cell you are already in and press Enter. Ctrl+Alt+Q opens a palette that searches your library and every command, and ;;help lists them all. Prefer :: or .. to ;;? The prefix is a setting.

Nothing left behind

The command string never stays in your workbook: press Enter and the cell’s own contents come back, with the result applied to your selection.

How SwiftCell works

Save once, name it, type it anywhere.

A quarterly P&L in Excel with the styled header row selected, and the command ;;save -a hdr being typed into a cell below it. The SwiftCell panel alongside shows the new "Header — navy" item at the top of the library.
①Save

Select it. Save it. Name it.

A styled header, a number format, a formula or a whole modelling block: select it and type ;;save, or click Save in the pane. Give it a name and a short alias you will remember.

A formatted quarterly P&L in Excel beside the SwiftCell task pane, which lists saved items — a header style, an assumption style, a number format and a range block — each with the command that applies it.
②Find

Your library, beside every workbook.

Everything you save lives in your SwiftCell account, so it is there in every workbook on every machine you sign in on — next to the official SwiftCell library. Search it in the pane, or press Ctrl+Alt+Q in the grid to open the command palette.

The same P&L twice: on the left a raw export with unformatted numbers, on the right the same figures after one command, with a navy header row, thousands separators, negatives in parentheses and ruled totals.
③Reuse

Type the alias. Done.

Type ;;hdr into a cell and your header style lands on the selection. A range block comes across whole — values, formulas and formatting — wherever you put it.

Built for Excel power users who'd rather not touch the mouse

Every feature removes a step you repeat — the rebuild, the ribbon detour, the multi-click format change — and puts your own toolkit a few keystrokes away.

Save it once. Reuse it in every workbook.

Cell styles, number formats, formulas (LAMBDAs included) and whole range blocks — save them from any workbook and they live in your SwiftCell library, ready in every workbook on every machine you sign in on. A style can even point at a saved number format, so updating the format updates the style.

Three saved cell styles — Header, Assumption and Output — each shown as a formatted Excel cell with the command that applies it.

The fixes Excel never shipped

Apply a saved number format to a pivot and SwiftCell sets the value fields' format, so it survives a refresh. Wrap every formula in IFERROR or ROUND, beautify a nested formula into readable lines and back, trim stray spaces, unhide every row, column or sheet, insert rows and columns — each one a command or a click.

One short command. Formats, number formats, modelling blocks, and worksheet tools — type it, done.

Apply a saved cell style to a single cell — or a whole range.

Built for finance professionals who live in Excel

Strong on logic, short on time, judged on output that has to be right and look right.

SwiftCell is for you if

  • You work in investment banking, private equity, FP&A, corporate finance or consulting
  • Your models, packs and reports have to follow a house style — and look right
  • You rebuild the same blocks and formats every cycle
  • You would rather type than reach for the mouse

It isn’t the right fit for

  • Excel on Mac or Excel for the web — SwiftCell is built for Excel on Windows
  • Occasional spreadsheet users — it pays back when Excel is where you work all day
  • A shared team library today — each person keeps their own library for now
