Introducing Undo in Ian's Excel Add-In
I’m thrilled to announce that Ian’s Excel Add-In v1.7.1.0 (released on 21 April 2025) now includes undo functionality for many of its features! This long-awaited enhancement allows you to revert changes easily if something doesn’t go as expected. It’s a big step forward in making tasks safer, faster, and more flexible. Several users have requested this feature, and I’m excited to deliver it finally.

In this article I provide some insight into my introduction to the world of computers. Where did I first come into contact with computers, and how did things develop from there?

Since there is always the possibility of errors creeping in during the upgrade from the previous version of the website, I have created a thread on the forum for users to list any issues that they come across.
If you do see anything that I have overlooked, please post a message in the new website thread.

What Is Ian's Excel Add-In?
Over the years working as a Quantity Surveyor, I discovered that Microsoft Excel, while a wonderful tool, lacked certain functions. In order to overcome these shortcomings, I developed custom procedures and functions to enhance my Excel experience and productivity. Instead of keeping these tools to myself, I have decided to share them with anyone who is interested in trying them out. Your feedback on the add-in will be appreciated and will assist in the further development of this product.

Ian's Excel Add-In Is Free
In order to clear up some confusion apparently doing the rounds about my add-in, I would like to state quite clearly that Ian's Excel Add-in is free. Yes, that's right, 100% free.
WinQS ASCII Import Demonstration
See this amazing video of how the WinQS ASCII Import function can save you time. The entire WinQS Standard Library was exported from WinQS then imported into Excel and formatted in only 72 seconds!
There is no trickery involved in this video, it is a real-time screen capture video.
