I built a free Excel add-in that replaces 80% of what people use VBA for

Hey Product Hunter!

I'm Federico, and I just shipped GridManager, a free Excel add-in that gives you a clean, professional sidebar to manage your spreadsheet data without ever touching a formula or navigating complex menus.

What GridManager does:

GridManager - Manage Excel data smarter — in 6 languages

GridManager is a free Excel add-in that gives you a powerful sidebar to add, edit, search, sort and validate spreadsheet data. No formulas, no complex menus — just a clean interface that works. Supports CSV import/export, duplicate detection, column reordering, undo/redo and per-column validation rules. Available in English, Italian, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese.
