Contact your administrator for further assistance." http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=1037&Title=System.Security.SecurityException%3a+Cannot+instal+the+software Tuesday, August 23, 2022 Some time ago I published an online app for COVID-19 data analysis and visualization. http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=1036&Title=Online+COVID-19+dashboard+ Sunday, June 7, 2020 In recent days, we’ve made another milestone. We’ve reached the limit of 10,000 downloads with the GIS.XL add-in. http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=1035&Title=10%2c000+Downloads Sunday, June 23, 2019 This month I released new tool. Reshape.XL is a general purpose tool for effective data processing (wrangling) in Excel. This tool is released as a small installable add-in for Excel. http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=1034&Title=Process+Your+Excel+Data+Simpler+and+Faster Saturday, October 27, 2018 This week we have achieved a milestone. GIS.XL has currently 8,000 installations. http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=1033&Title=8%2c000+Installations+of+GIS.XL+add-in Monday, October 15, 2018 In this post we look at how to convert spatial data from WKT format to Shapefile directly in Excel. http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=1032&Title=How+to+convert+WKT+to+Shapefile+in+Excel Wednesday, June 6, 2018 I often get a question about the difference between GIS.XL and other GIS apps such as QGIS. Especially GIS specialists often asks me if they need GIS.XL when they can do everything in QGIS. Partly that’s true. But the difference is in the workflow. http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=1031&Title=FAQ%3a+Differences+Between+GIS.XL+And+Other+GIS+Tools Thursday, May 10, 2018 An important part of the add-in functionality is the visualization of excel data on maps. At work with the GIS.XL add-in you can create a visualization where continuous or categorical variables are encoded to polygon (or line, or point) color. In the base version, the add-in allows you to use only simple color palettes (two-color palette and rainbow palette). Since 2.0 version has been added support for 54 new special color palettes. http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=1030&Title=How+to+Special+Color+Palettes Friday, April 20, 2018 Sometimes I get a question about whether the GIS.XL add-in is an alternative to ArcGIS Maps for Office. It all depends on how you need to work with your spatial data in Excel. This article reflects my point of view. http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=1029&Title=FAQ%3a+Is+GIS.XL+Add-in+an+Alternative+to+ArcGIS+Maps+for+Office%3f Tuesday, April 10, 2018 This post should clarify one frequently asked question - can I use one GIS.XL license on multiple computers? http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=1028&Title=FAQ%3a+One+License+on+Several+Computers Monday, March 26, 2018 Based on comment from user, I updated the GIS.XL add-in. http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=1027&Title=GIS.XL+2.0+Has+Been+Actualized Tuesday, February 20, 2018 An important feature of the GIS.XL add-in is import of GPX files. This feature has been added to version 2.0 and is used for direct and rapid import of spatial data from GPX files to Excel. GPX or GPS Exchange Format is an XML schema designed as a common GPS data format for software application. It can be used to describe waypoints, tracks and routes. This format is open and data can be interchanged between GPX devices and software applications. http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=1026&Title=GPX+Files+in+Excel Monday, November 20, 2017 Occasionally I receive a question: How many shapefile features can be exported to a spreadsheet at once? Users have this problem with the third-party products, where the maximum number of exported spatial features is strictly limited. http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=26&Title=FAQ%3a+How+to+Export+Large+Shapefiles+to+Excel Wednesday, October 25, 2017 Since I released a new version of the GIS.XL add-in that includes many new functions, I also updated the documentation. http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=25&Title=Documentation+for+GIS.XL+2.0+is+Ready Friday, July 28, 2017 From today, you can download and install new version of the GIS.XL add-in. This add-in serves to work with spatial data directly inside the Excel. http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=24&Title=New+Features+GIS.XL+2.0 Monday, June 26, 2017 In a short time (a few days), new updated version of the GIS.XL add-in will be released. Visually, the add-in is changed only a little. Updated were practically all the functions and completely new has been added. These new functions significantly expand the add-in usability. The following post describes in detail all the news. http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=23&Title=GIS.XL+2.0+is+Comming Tuesday, June 20, 2017 The following video shows a real application of GIS.XL add-in in practice.

News can be divided into two groups: http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=20&Title=GIS.XL+Newsletter+%5b2%5d Sunday, October 30, 2016 If you tried GIS.XL and Map.XL add-ins on the latest Excel versions, you may have noticed that they did not work always correctly. This was due to an important actualization in the architecture of MS Office applications. http://gisxl.com/Post.aspx?Id=19&Title=Important+Update+of+GIS.XL+%26+Map.XL+Add-in+%5b4%5d Monday, September 26, 2016 GIS.XL add-in allows you to work also with data that has linear character - connected set of points (lines).
