SPREADSHEET LIKE INTERFACE
Just like your traditional spreadsheet program you have used for years you can enter formulas directly into cells. This
gives TABULUS® the flexibility of a spreadsheet that you are used to. You are not
afforded the convenience of this option within Quantrix™.

UNLIMITED MODEL SIZE
When it comes to peace of mind, TABULUS® doesn’t artificially limit your model
size. You are only limited by your computer’s memory.
Back to top
TABULUS® provides extensive support for accounting methodology. Basic model behaviors
are automatically programmed so you don’t have to. TABULUS® was designed for financial
work, but without being able to report the information the way you need the tool is useless. This is another added benefit
of TABULUS® being an all inclusive program.

AUTOMATIC SUPPORT FOR ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
TABULUS® has a specialized account category, which allows the creation of Income,
Expense, Asset and Liability accounts. Reports can show expense and liability as either positive or negative on a worksheet
by worksheet basis. TABULUS® being created with financial work in mind assists
in common tasks with its built in knowledge of standard account, account numbers, and standard ratios. With all of the built-in
information and utilities TABULUS® will speed up your work.

TABULUS® automates much of the formula writing for you decreasing the possibility
that errors creep into your work. Sums, averages, counts, etc are based on user defined groups, and are automatically maintained
error free. TABULUS® also has a large number of other predefined formulas for financial
and database purposes, which greatly reduces the need for writing your own formulas. Standard formulas include financial
ratios, financial projections, balance sheet projections, currency conversion, and inflation adjustment.

RUNNING TOTALS
A very common need in financial statements and reports is to show running totals. To add a running total in
TABULUS® it’s as easy as a right click of your mouse, select “Insert”, then “New Running Total”.

AUTOMATIC CALENDAR CATEGORY
TABULUS® has automatic support for time units such as Fiscal Year, Year, Fiscal
Quarter, Quarter, Month, Week and Day. There is no reason to create formulas to manage the transition between units such
as Quarters and Years. TABULUS® even understands the difference between how Quarters
and Years are handled in a P&L vs. Balance sheet.

ACCESS TO ONLINE DATA
TABULUS® provides access to an online database of financial information. Automatically
calculate currency conversion, or look at your data as inflation adjusted according to a wide selection of prices indexes.

MULTIPLE GROUP HIERARCHY
To keep your files organized and easy to understand category items can be grouped together. An example would be your list
of employees all under one category.
Back to top
AUTOMATIC SUMMARY AND STATISTICS FOR GROUPS
Continuing with the example above you can now insert your employees within the worksheet and group the employees by department.
If you want to see only the department and not the individual employees just minimize the group to show a summary or statistical
data for the entire department as one as opposed to individual employees.
Back to top
TABULUS® has the ability to create single cell based formulas, like a spreadsheet,
as well as multi-cell formulas like Quantrix™. This allows the user to create single cell based formulas quickly,
without the full overhead of a multi-cell formula. These single cell formulas automatically override any formulas already
there, making editing easy.

MULTIPLE TABLES IN A SINGLE WORKSHEET
Quantrix™ is limited to a hierarchical view of a single table. TABULUS® can
display multiple tables, even tables with different numbers of categories in a single worksheet. TABULUS®‘s
design allows you to separate different types of data into their own tables. This design simplifies the modeling process
because tables always contain the same type of data. Therefore, it reduces the need to write formulas that address only
small parts of a file.
Back to top
GLOBAL CATEGORIES
Unlike Quantrix™, TABULUS® offers global categories.
Back to top
TABULUS® formats reports using the same look as common accounting programs and
annual reports. Select from an array of preformatted themes which automatically format your worksheets in a stunning manner
ready for your annual report, or business presentation. Modify any theme to customize it so it’s exactly how you like to
see your data. The theme automatically formats your worksheet with rules which highlight and underline groups, sums, and
running totals.

OLAP DATA BASE (ONLINE ANALYTICAL PROCESSING)
Like Quantrix™, TABULUS® is based on OLAP technology. But TABULUS®
goes beyond traditional OLAP. TABULUS® is specially designed to meet financial
modeling requirements.

When working with your formulas you will reference true names, and not letters and numbers.
