Unlock Powerful Analysis with Formula-Driven Logic

January 30, 2026
Combine calculation engines, cross-sheet references, and sparklines to transform spreadsheets into reliable tools for data analysis and reporting.

Formulas, calculations, and logic features form the analytical core of spreadsheet components, enabling data to be transformed into meaningful insights. These capabilities allow spreadsheets to move beyond static data entry by supporting dynamic calculations, rule-based behavior, and real-time feedback as data changes. A robust implementation ensures accuracy, consistency, and performance, making spreadsheets suitable for everything from simple models to complex, enterprise-grade analytical scenarios.

Common features include:

  • Formula / function support provides a comprehensive library of built-in functions and calculation operators to perform mathematical, statistical, logical, and financial operations.
  • Cross-worksheet calculations enable formulas to reference data across multiple sheets, supporting complex models and consolidated reporting.
  • Conditional formatting applies visual rules to cells based on their values or formula results, helping users quickly identify trends, exceptions, or thresholds.
  • Sparklines offer compact, in-cell visualizations that display data patterns and changes at a glance without requiring full charts.
  • Data validation enforces rules on data entry, such as value ranges or list constraints, to help maintain data integrity and reduce errors.

Speed Up Code Comprehension with Live AI Output

January 30, 2026
Visual Assist 2026.1 streams AI explanations as they’re generated, making complex responses feel faster and easier to follow from the start.

Visual Assist by Whole Tomato Software is a productivity plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio that enhances your C/C++ and C# development. It improves upon IntelliSense and syntax highlighting, improving code navigation and refactoring, and offers intelligent code completion and generation. Additionally, Visual Assist provides static code analysis to identify potential bugs and performance issues, all designed to save you time and effort while writing, reading, and maintaining your code.

The Visual Assist 2026.1 update enhances the responsiveness of VA Intelligence by improving AI-generated responses in real time, allowing developers to begin reading explanations as soon as generation starts rather than waiting for a complete result. This approach reduces perceived latency, which is especially noticeable when requesting detailed code explanations or working with larger codebases. By presenting information progressively, the update makes longer responses easier to consume and understand, supporting quicker comprehension and decision-making during development tasks. All processing continues to run locally on compatible GPU hardware, preserving Visual Assist’s commitment to keeping source code private and ensuring that no intellectual property leaves the developer’s machine.

To see a full list of what's new in 2026.1, see our release notes.

Visual Assist is licensed on a per-developer basis and offers three licensing options: Standard, Network Named User, and Concurrent. All new licenses include a 1 Year Maintenance Subscription, and Subscription Renewals are also available. See our Visual Assist licensing page for full details.
