Everybody
has to calculate things every day: Check bank or tax statements, do
budgeting or sales forecasts, create comprehensive financial models,
compare mortgage offers for that great house you've set your sight on...
PlanMaker
2006 for
Linux
and FreeBSD,
the efficient Excel-compatible spreadsheet in SoftMaker
Office 2006, does all of the above with ease.
More
than 320
calculation functions
are
built in. They cover date and time calculations, mathematics,
statistics, financial maths, numeric conversions, and data analysis.
But PlanMaker does not stop there: It not only solves financial
equations but also excels at higher maths, has a comprehensive set of
statistics functions, works with complex numbers, and offers the full
range of array functions.
PlanMaker
is not limited to two dimensions: Create up to 256 sheets per file
and do three-dimensional calculations. You can easily reference cells
in that vast amount of data by creating named ranges and then
accessing these ranges by their name.
Within
worksheets, you can combine data into data ranges and analyze
them through statistical functions. Furthermore, you can sort
and transpose database ranges or select them by criteria via
AutoFilter and other filters. Data grouping hides single
values or intermediate results similar to the outliner of a
word processor , giving you a quick view at the results of your calculations.

AutoShapes,
flowcharts,
fills, gradients
and much more

Flowcharts and

Creating
complex calculations is only one part of the equation. If you want to
persuade your audience, you should make sure to create visually
pleasing worksheets that help you state your point.
PlanMaker
has comprehensive formatting features:
Cells
can be shaded in many different styles and have any kind of borders.
Multiple cells can be merged horizontally and vertically, and the
contents of cells are easily rotated. Conditional formatting
changes the layout of cells depending on their contents, and the AutoFormat
command creates attractive layouts for your worksheets at the press
of a key.
Repeating
format styles can be saved as stylesheets and later recalled
through a simple menu choice.
PlanMaker
supports drawing right on the worksheet: A complete AutoShapes
drawing module is built into PlanMaker, and our vast symbols library
complements it. This means that you can not only create simple
geometric shapes, but also intricate flowcharts and org charts
sticky connectors included!
Freehand
drawing is possible just as well: Create a sketch like in a
graphics program. Also, every one of these shapes (be they shapes,
drawings, or even text art) can be filled with colors, linear and
radial gradients, bitmap patterns, etc. |
Charting
turns numbers into pictures. Great charting convinces
your audience. PlanMaker's charting engine helps you create great
charts with ease. Choose from any of the 70 different types of 2D
and 3D charts PlanMaker supports in fact, any chart that can
be displayed by Microsoft Excel can also be created, edited, and
displayed by PlanMaker.
Even stock
chart types like bar or column charts can be spiffed up with
color gradients, freely rotated in three-dimensional space, or
adorned with background pictures or patterns. Pie charts
support tearing out slices and combining slices and creating
sub-charts from them. Surface, bubble, or pyramidal
charts? PlanMaker
is up to the task! Trend lines? No problem for PlanMaker!
