Visual navigation and input support for Microsoft Excel on Windows

Never lose your place in Excel.

CellPointer keeps your current position, row context, column history, and input guidance close at hand while you continue working normally in Excel.

Why you don't lose your place

You shouldn't have to leave your current cell just to understand it.

CellPointer gives you six ways to keep your position and the information you need visible while you work. Choose a feature below to see how it helps you stay in context.

CellPointer Header Row and Description
FEATURE 01

Tell CellPointer how your table is structured.

Set the header row for your worksheet, then add or edit a description for any column. CellPointer uses this structure to understand each field and provide the right context while you work.

More control when you need it

Fits your workbook. Stays out of your workbook.

Workbook-specific settingsKeep CellPointer settings associated with the workbook you're working on.
Custom colors and opacityAdjust the crosshair color, guide color, and opacity to suit your worksheet.
Import & export settingsMove your CellPointer configuration between workbooks when needed.
Live pane updatesChanges made in Excel are reflected in the side pane as you work.
Clean workbookCrosshair highlighting is displayed externally and does not alter cell formatting.
View on / offTurn the CellPointer visual layer off whenever you don't need it.
