In other news our method of distributing our commercial products is about to change. Instead of maintaining an on line shop and going through a shopping cart process to pay and download, for a trial period we are making the downloads available on an honesty box basis. If you download a product and find it useful then go here and donate some money to help us continue to develop new products and support old ones.
If enough people honour the new system we will release more products on the same basis. Recent News
Things slowed down a bit at Codematic.net in 2011, due to several large, fully absorbing projects. 2012 will see a big step up in activity around the website and direct consulting.
The UK Excel Developer conference was held in London on Monday July the 12. The latest agenda is here.
This event is an excellent opportunity for anyone involved in developing in and around Excel to meet fellow professionals. The agenda is rich and varied, and there are plenty of networking opportunities. The event will be friendly and informal.
It is one of the very few, possibly the only, organised event targeting Excel Users/developers in the UK in 2010.
New page added explaining DDE links in Excel and where to get our simple server to try them out.
Two new sections have been added to the site to cover the areas of best practice in spreadsheet development and best practice in the use of VBA.
Spreadsheet Design Best Practice starts here.
VBA Best Practice starts here.
These are just guidelines, things we have found have worked well, rather than rigid LAWS that must be obeyed. Blind application of rigid rules is one surefire way to decrease project quality.

A new Commercial Excel 2007 Add-in was recently released to ease the transition to the new interface.

More information and a free demo version available from the Excel 2007 Classic menu page.
Software Development
We develop and distribute a wide range of tools and applications primarily aimed at improving your productivity when working with Excel. Free tools are here, commercial ones here.
We can also develop custom components or applications directly for clients. This can be in any technology to suit your existing or desired environment.
We do both desktop/client and server development as well as full web site/web application development. Spreadsheet Development
Codematic design and build spreadsheet based systems to address a diverse range of business issues. Financial analysis and reporting, scheduling, resource optimisation, process automation.
Clients have found our work valuable in a range of situations:
- prototyping large systems to clarify requirements
- short term tactical solutions whilst more comprehensive systems are under development
- systems integration and data cleaning
With our broad technology background you can be assured you will be getting the most appropriate technology for the job, not 'a spreadsheet no matter what' that other less experienced providers offer.
Support
Of course we fully support al the work we do, whether its commercial applications, or custom solutions. We also offer world class support for your existing Excel/VBA based applications. We remove the pain and risk of running unsupported or poorly supported mission critical spreadsheet based systems. Full time world class cover for a fraction of the cost of an average full time developer. We provide rapid turn around break/fix support, enhancement and migration services.
