A similar site survey in January 2008 shows that XLC was as popular as the repository. We read this as a user endorsement of the latest features we have introduced to XLC. New features included in the latest version are equations update automatically, automatic equation naming, improved Greek character functionality, redraw with or without equation numbering, new Email utility for speedy repository uploads, improved colour matching in Excel 2007 and new ExcelCalcs web search utility to get the best technical content on the web directly from Excel.

This is a terrific endorsement of what we are trying to achieve here at ExcelCalcs and it is good news for anybody who prepares calculations.
