About Flowchart Maker for Excel
Flowchart Maker for Excel is a native Excel-based app that automates flowchart creation directly inside Microsoft Excel. Instead of manually drawing and aligning shapes, users enter process steps, IDs, and routing logic into spreadsheet rows. Built-in MDS and Sugiyama layout algorithms automatically calculate node placement and route connector lines without overlap.
Built on a local .NET architecture (C#, VB.NET, WPF), the add-in runs entirely within your desktop environment. Your sensitive data never leaves your machine for third-party cloud rendering. Diagrams are output as 100% native Microsoft Office shape objects, allowing generated .xlsx files to be shared, edited, and embedded into Word or PowerPoint without requiring recipients to have the add-in installed.
Available on the Microsoft Store and Microsoft Marketplace, it supports streamlined procurement and centralized tenant deployment via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
