Excel will not tell you that someone typed over the formula.

Two Excel task panes that read the grid the way an auditor would. One finds the numbers that should have been calculated. The other finds the layout choices that make Copilot answer confidently and wrongly.

Two add-ins

Hardcoded Value Detector

Finds two things Excel does not: numbers typed over formulas, and constants buried inside formulas. It shows you each one in place, explains what it displaced, and can put the formula back. Undo is free in every tier, always — an add-in that writes to your workbook but charges to reverse it would be indefensible.

Host: Excel task pane
Free: Check and explain the active sheet. Undo.
Paid: Whole-workbook scan, guided fix, CSV and Markdown export
Price: £3 a month, or £25 a year

Copilot Readiness Scanner

Scores the active worksheet for Copilot readiness and explains, for every finding, why Copilot cares. Merged cells, banner rows, numbers stored as text — the things that quietly make Copilot's answers wrong rather than absent. Every scan and every explanation are free; applying the fixes is the paid part, and Restore is free in every tier, always.

Host: Excel task pane
Free: Every scan, every score, every explanation. Restore.
Paid: Applying the fixes — one-click and guided
Price: £6 a month, or £45 a year
