I've been using Salesforce for over 20 years and the XL-Connector is my favourite application. It's so much more than just a data loader tool. It's the ultimate application for helping you manage an org. Alex continues to add new features and support is fantastic. Give it a try, you won't be sorry.

Simple to use, I have all my orgs connected to it and it is so easy to transfer data between source & destination with its field mapping and friendly UI. I especially love the additional tools for managing fields, picklists, FLS and more system orientated metadata. A real bonus.

I learned about this from Salesforce Premier Success. Once I used it, I had to tell everyone I knew about it. It makes managing data in Salesforce SO EASY. We've been able to transform some business processes completely and save HOURS of work and avoiding spending money on a 3rd party system. I still don't know ALL the things it can do!

"If you are used to using excel in general this tool is going to feel really intuitive and comfortable. There are so many options out there but the XL-Connector always ends up being the one that I use."

"If I could only keep one app on our Salesforce XL connector would be the one. The tasks (pulling reports for further analysis for Finance, Record management, lead conversion etc.) I used to do without XL Connector were talking me at least 2-3 times longer and were a headach."

Andrew Swain

"XL Connector is my go-to tool for data management. It was indispensable during a data migration phase and I still use it nearly every day now. Much more user friendly and adaptable than data loader etc.

XL Connector a must for any Admin or users who are heavy users of spreadsheets

XL Connector a must for any Admin or users who are heavy users of spreadsheets

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

XL Connector has been one of main super apps in my toolkit. I use it daily and couldn't live without it. It simplifies things so much when you work heavily in spreadsheets and manipulate/report data and can easily push/pull data from Salesforce. And there are so many other cool other features that make the life of an admin so simple. You should get it now!

Fantastic tool - SAVES TONS of time

Fantastic tool - SAVES TONS of time

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Been using XL-Connector for a couple of years now and am thoroughly impressed. I have some reports (for executives) that auto-update, but also use it for bulk uploading, editing, deleting and it makes much more sense than dataloader (which is a VERY good tool) and NPSP data import wizard. For other similar tools you have to create your upload/edit/delete data in excel anyway, so why not just do it all from there!
The reasonable price makes this an automatic renew for our organization every year.

So Unique. So Useful. So Essential.

So Unique. So Useful. So Essential.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I use this Excel plugin all day every day and have been using it since its very early days. In fact, I probably use this tool more than any other Salesforce feature or ISV app, including VS Code. I've encouraged probably over 100+ customers to sign up to it and not one has ever regretted it.

For me, it is invaluable at generating data extracts that I can clean and update on the fly. I can pull a mountain of metadata and a stack of other features around custom settings and field definitions.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This app is a climax between simplicity and comprehensiveness. After 3years of use, I think any admin would save hours using XL-Connector, this is so instinctive and really powerful ! The app is old enough to be stable and bug-free, and keeps being updated regularly. In case of need, the support is very reactive and last but not least, the price is pretty cheap and I think we get what we pay for !
