In 2026, stop wasting time with manual reporting.

Many teams accept repetitive reporting tasks as “part of the job” — exporting data, copying it into Excel, formatting dashboards manually every week.

But what’s the real cost?
• Hours of wasted time
• Delayed decisions
• Frustrated staff doing work that could be automated

At Custom Consulting SA, we help consultants, operations leads, and data-savvy managers reduce that manual work.

By integrating Excel directly with your project management tools, we create live, automated reporting dashboards that:

• Pull real-time data
• Update automatically
• Filter by dates, teams, or tasks — right from Excel cells
• Require no coding knowledge

If you’re spending more time updating reports than using them, it’s time to rethink your process.

Let Excel do the heavy lifting, and let us help you set it up.

We’re grateful for everything 2025 has brought — the challenges, the wins, the lessons, and the people we’ve had the privilege to work with.

And now, we look forward to 2026 with fresh energy and optimism.

A new year means new opportunities to learn, grow, and build something even better than before.

May 2026 be a year of clarity, progress, and confidence in your work, your goals, and yourself.

Thank you for being part of our journey.

Season’s Greetings and Happy New Year from Custom Consulting SA

Stop Copy-Pasting. Start Connecting.

If you’re still exporting files and copy-pasting updates from your project management software into Excel every week, there’s a much easier, faster, and smarter way to work.

Most people don’t realise this, but Excel can pull live data directly from many tools you already use, such as project management systems, CRMs, or cloud-based databases.

Here’s what that means for you:

• No more repeated exports: Your spreadsheet updates itself as your system updates.

• Cleaner, more reliable reporting: You reduce version errors, duplicates, and manual mistakes.

• Real-time visibility: Managers get up-to-date numbers without waiting for someone to “update the file.”

• Zero coding required: With the right setup, you can filter, refresh, and analyse everything straight from Excel.

A connected spreadsheet isn’t just convenient, it saves hours, removes frustration, and gives your team the information they need when they need it.

If you want to streamline your reporting, reduce manual work, and build smarter Excel processes, we can help.

We can come into your business and train your team to use Excel more efficiently or design the automated tools for you.

Dynamic Arrays — Modern Excel Formulas for Data Analysis

Dynamic Arrays are one of the biggest updates Excel has ever had — and they change how formulas work forever.

Functions like FILTER, SORT, UNIQUE, and SEQUENCE let your formulas “spill” results into multiple cells automatically.

That means:
✔ No more dragging formulas down
✔ Cleaner, faster reporting setups
✔ Easier automation and fewer errors
✔ Smarter dashboards that update on their own

Dynamic Arrays make Excel feel more like a modern data tool — powerful, flexible, and easy to maintain.

We can help your team take advantage of these new capabilities and modernise the way you use Excel.
