Excel Swiss Knife: more power to Excel
Excel Swiss Knife (ESK) is a free add-in for Microsoft Excel (versions 2010 and later, 32- and 64-bit) that provides dozens of ready-to-use tools to clean, transform, and reorganize data in just a few clicks.
Tasks that would normally require complex formulas, custom macros, or long manual procedures become immediate, repeatable, and much faster.
Once installed, ESK adds a new tab to the Excel ribbon, from which you can launch all its functions, organized by category and designed for everyday use.
With Excel Swiss Knife, you can easily:
- clean and normalize messy tables
- split text to columns with advanced criteria
- import and combine data from other sheets or files
- rename hundreds of files
- copy cells as csv, json or markdown
- automate repetitive tasks that Excel alone makes slow or cumbersome

The included tools are the result of years of real-world work on complex datasets and the constant repetition of the same tedious tasks in Excel.
ESK is built for serious Excel users who want to save time, steps and struggle.
Excel Swiss Knife is an open source project, distributed as GPL v3.0, and it's available in Italian and English.
I plan to keep developing new features for the add-in, and I warmly welcome requests, bug reports, and suggestions for improvement. Feel free to send them through the contact page.
