Converting your Excel spreadsheet into a robust web application has never been easier.
With Molnify, you can quickly convert Excel spreadsheets or Google Sheets into powerful web applications without writing any code. This intuitive feature significantly enhances data management, collaboration, and accessibility, making it ideal for businesses of all sizes.
Molnify excels in the market with its unique combination of simplicity and powerful automation. By adopting a straightforward color-coding method, users configure Excel sheets in minutes. Simply color-code your cells in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets to define your application’s functionality clearly and effectively: green for inputs, red for outputs, and blue for charts and tables. After configuring your Excel sheets, upload the file to Molnify, and it automatically converts your workbook into a fully functional web application. This effortless automation ensures Molnify is accessible even to users with minimal technical skills.
Simple Color-Coding System
Molnify leverages a user-friendly color-coding method to embed interactive elements directly into your Excel sheets or Google Sheets:
- Green for Inputs: Define elements users can interact with and modify.
- Red for Outputs: Clearly display results and insights generated by your spreadsheet calculations.
- Blue for Charts and Tables: Visualize numerical data effectively with various charts such as bar, line, pie, and waterfall charts directly within your Molnify web application.
This intuitive system significantly simplifies the app development process, removing the need for complex coding knowledge or tedious manual data entry.
Green is used to configure inputs – parts of your app that you want users to interact with.
The color red is used to configure output boxes – parts of your app that can be informative i.e. results.
Blue is used to present numbers as charts in your Molnify app. In the example shown we have a waterfall chart but Molnify supports a range of charts such as line charts, pie charts and bar charts to name a few.
Streamlined Workflows Through Automation
Molnify reduces manual data entry errors and improves workflow efficiency through automation. Tasks that previously required extensive manual effort are digitized, streamlining your processes. Automation ensures consistent results, fewer errors, and increased operational efficiency, allowing your team to focus on strategic tasks and business growth.
This automation doesn’t just save time—it also enhances the reliability of outputs across various workbooks. For organizations that rely heavily on multiple Excel files, having a consistent automated system cuts down on training, errors, and repetitive adjustments.
Imagine eliminating hours of data entry and copy-pasting. By automating steps through your web app, you reduce operational costs and improve overall productivity.
