Import to Excel
For the better part of three decades, spreadsheets have been the go-to for data entry, analysis and reporting. Professionals across every industry use spreadsheets as part of their daily routine to manage projects and processes. Why? Firstly, because they are familiar – and for years, they have been getting the job done. Secondly, because there aren’t any project management alternatives that have anywhere near the same levels of mass adoption. To work with external teams and clients on a shared system generally requires the use of spreadsheets. 
 
The challenge with spreadsheets – particularly when it comes to dealmaking – is that they are static documents, prone to duplication and a lack of version control when passed between multiple parties involved. When you’ve spent hours editing V25, only to discover a V26 in existence, it quickly becomes obvious this is not a fit-for-purpose tool.
 
But who are we to tell you to stop using your favourite tool? You’re familiar with spreadsheets, and you can get the job done fast in that format. 

Now you can transfer all your spreadsheets into the Ansarada Deals platform and get the benefit of smart columns, collaboration tools and a real-time view of the state of play – a single source of truth.

The latest feature in Ansarada Deals allows you to turbocharge your existing processes; now you can import all your existing work from Excel, your own due diligence checklists, workflows, document requirements and processes seamlessly. 

Import your customized information and harness the power of automated deal preparation and reporting. Collaborate on it, assign tasks to teammates, and visualize real-time information in a checklist or Gantt chart view.

And it couldn’t be easier to import.
 
  1. Click +Add button, then select 'Import Excel'.
  2. Click 'Browse' and select the Excel file you'd like to import. Make sure your template has clear rows and columns and no merged cells.

Export to Excel

If you have senior stakeholders who insist on a spreadsheet, you can just as easily export all the work you’ve done in the Deals space back into an Excel file to share with them. It takes just two clicks, and old faithful is back with all your updated information.
 
  1. Go to the Actions tab, in the top right corner of the workflow section
  2. Select the tabs you want to export, and click Export.
