MegaExcel is an add-in to Microsoft Excel designed for management consultants, enabling them to build well-structured, well-formatted models much faster.
Additionally, it presents a unique structured training framework to help new consultants to quickly get very good at modeling.
I built MegaExcel in 2008 as an Associate at Booz & Company.
You can download a sanitized version of the MegaExcel Add-In Here.

I know very little aboutacros and VB; you've done an impressive job of brining it all together. Thank you and congratulations again - this will be a lasting legacy for sure!

Vienna (Associate) - IT
"Thank you so much for all of your hard work in putting together the Excel macro add-in. I'm sure it is going to save me and many of our colleagues tons of time."

"Compliments on the great work. I especially like the approach to standardizing business cases."
Amsterdam (Associate) - HT
"Thanks again for the presentation on Friday. That really was helpful for me - and I'd just like to follow up that I think it could help us with recruiting. I don't remember getting a good Excel pack at Sloan like you gave us - with a quick PowerPoint and reference guide to the shortcuts and types of things to learn, functions, etc. Would you mind if we were to share that with people outside the company? It can just be an informal email from a recent grad or current student. It can't hurt for you to get known as an Excel guru by a wider audience either."
New York (Associate)
"Have been using the new toolkit. Just wanted to let you know that it's great and the help files are really useful. Thanks!"
San Francisco (Associate) - HT
"Just to let you know, I have installed the new toolbar. The color palette swap was a life saver - one of my models had switched from Booz to default somehow (with very ugly results), and it would have been a nightmare fixing all the colors manually before delivering to client. Thanks for the well-timed update!
I really enjoy the toolbar, and there are a few things that have saved me a bit of time, e.g.. the control+N feature."
Chicago (Associate) - ATI
"This is great, I agree with all of the guidance in here."
Mclean (Associate) – A&D
"Great work on the presentation. This was very helpful."
Chicago (Associate) - CM
"Thanks for conducting a highly informative session. I used to think I was an advanced excel user but still learnt a lot. Your idea of having the right attitude is spot-on. In my experience, I have learnt by just using Microsoft help and that was so much more cumbersome than the guide you have created. Kudos!"
New York (Associate) - HT
"Great presentation and very valuable tips and tricks."
Mclean (Associate) – EC&U
"Good stuff - finally getting time to use your sheet as it was designed!"
Mclean (Associate) – A&D

Melbourne (Associate)

"The Megaexcel template is AWESOME!!! I just installed it 30 minutes ago and discovered already very nice features which I will use definitly use in the future, but furthermore: I just start to realize how much time I as a Job Manager will save... nearly everything I usually tell a newby in the inital introduction to business modelling is covered in your models and examples - and even tons of more good tips...Great job!!!
so far only positive feedback: I forced my entire team to install Megaexcel and everybody loves it!"
Dusseldorf (Associate)

Melbourne, (Sr. Consultant)
"Good stuff! Thanks for the session and material! Just my initial spontaneous input:
1) Really good road map and inspiring overview
2) Be even more clear in the beginning about this session being a roadmap and not a skills course to manage expectations"
Stockholm (Sr. Consultant) - HT
"Wow. That template is a HUGE improvement. Common formatting, structure, etc . . . it should be much easier for someone to create an analysis and then hand it over to someone else . . . and actually have a good handoff while minimizing errors, understanding and time to absorb/understand. Really cool."
Chicago (Sr. Consultant) - OCL
"I'm very new to Booz and recently had to learn how to do excel modelling for the first time. I find your Excel Add on to be very useful as it provides a quick summary of useful short cuts and introduces many best practices on modelling to 'Excel' beginners. Thank you very much for putting the program and all related documents together."
Sydney (Sr. Consultant)

New York (Sr. Consultant) - IT

Berlin (Sr. Consultant) - HT
"great job on the excel training and toolbar."

"Und wenns nur das Handbuch "How to become excellent in modelling" wäre, das wäre schon wirklich klasse! Vielleicht gibts ja eine Möglichkeit, dann könnte ich meine Aufregung vor dem ertsen Excel Modell schon etwas bekämpfen :-)"
Munich (Sr. Consultant)
"I like the new toolbar. I see a lot of time and work has gone into it and it's quite useful."
Canberra (Consultant) - Ops

Buenos Aires (Consultant) - HT
"I have a quick question for you on the fantastic MegaExcel plug-in you've released. Firstly I have to say this is really a great addition to our Boozian laptops - I'm working with the Excel training team in the London office to ensure that all new joiners are familiar with what it can do, and have seen the excellent guidance on data cleaning and model building...thanks very much for putting so much effort into it."
