CloseUpload your demo without formulas

Vumero allows you to upload a demo version of your model that potential buyers will be able to access for free.
We recommend that you upload a demo version that is hard coded (ie no formulas) so that potential buyers get a sense of how your model works without actually getting a copy of the model. There many ways to create a hard coded model, but a basic method involves:

1. Create a new Excel workbook for your demo
2. Select and copy the relevant cells/sheets in the original Excel workbook with formulas
3. Within the new Excel workbook, select "Paste/Paste Special" (as Values)

All the formulas will be converted to values. Save the demo workbook with values with a name distinct from your original workbook with formulas.

CloseHow do you sanitise a model?

• Use the 'Find' tool to locate and remove any key terms: client names, project names, etc;
• Check headers and footers for logos and key terms;
• Check for links to external workbooks. These links can either be part of a formula or a named range and may allow a user to determine the name of previously linked workbooks. Very often the names and paths of these workbooks might disclose client or project names;
• Remove all unwanted comments in the workbook. You can step though the comments by clicking the Review Tab/Comments/Next Comment. Keep in mind that any user of the workbook can tell the author of a comment by watching Excels status bar while hovering over the comment;
• Review chart titles and series names;
• If macros are present, review macro comments and variable names;
• Alter sensitive assumptions to ensure the model does not reflect a real world scenario or company. This is best done my adjusting key assumptions, perhaps by multiplying or dividing by a factor; and
• Run Excel's document inspector tool which can be located under "Info" under the File tab. The document inspector assists you find hidden information in the workbook that you might otherwise miss.
