Think-cell is a software add-in for Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel that is designed to create professional-looking charts and presentations. It is commonly used in business and academic settings to streamline the process of creating complex charts, graphs, and data-driven visualizations.
Think-cell offers a variety of chart types, such as waterfall charts, Gantt charts, Marimekko charts, and scatter plots, among others. The software’s main feature is its ability to automatically update charts based on changes in underlying data, saving users time and effort when making updates to their presentations.
The software is particularly popular among management consultants, financial analysts, and professionals who frequently work with data-driven presentations. It is known for its ease of use, intuitive interface, and its ability to generate high-quality, customizable charts that align with professional design standards.
Please note that software products may evolve over time, and there may have been updates or changes to Think-cell since my last update. I recommend checking the official Think-cell website for the most current information about the software and its features.

Tip: If you’re new to using a Mac, it’s common to feel overwhelmed by the various features and functions. Rest assured, many beginners have faced similar confusion. When I was a Mac novice, I struggled to comprehend its workings, experiencing sudden crashes that left me perplexed and requiring a restart. However, I’ve come a long way since then and have now mastered the art of cleaning my Mac, which has resolved these issues.
Tip: For those new to Mac, it’s easy to feel unsure about where to begin in this exciting Mac world. Before diving into Mac cleaning and performance tweaks, I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with the Mac ecosystem. Keep in mind that Mac OS has been around since the 80s, and while newer versions like Mojave may be faster than High Sierra, older Macs might experience bugs that lead to slowdowns. The good news is, there are many simple steps you can take to address these issues.
Tip: When it comes to cleaning your Mac, one crucial rule is to avoid removing or uninstalling your favorite and frequently used programs. Doing so only creates unnecessary space in your main memory, which hampers your Mac’s ability to efficiently handle tasks and slows down its performance. Instead, focus on removing non-essential apps to declutter your Mac registry and eliminate unnecessary data, which will improve your Mac’s speed and responsiveness.
