Elkar is an AI analyst add-in for Microsoft Excel that handles modeling, error checking and data extraction from a simple prompt. Instead of writing formulas by hand or auditing a model cell by cell, users ask questions in plain language and let the AI co-pilot do the spreadsheet work.
Elkar lives inside Excel and is aimed at financial modeling and analysis. Users can ask questions such as what forecasted revenue looks like for a quarter, request an error hunt across a financial model, or have a dashboard built from a messy table. Its formula tools explain, debug and generate formulas, and a tracing capability shows how a formula works so analysts can follow the logic behind a result. For forecasting, Elkar builds profit-and-loss and forecast models with no code, while its PDF extraction pulls tables, fields and text out of PDF documents into the workbook. Data cleaning and formatting features make raw tables report-ready, and charts and dashboards can be created instantly from the data already in the sheet. The add-in is distributed through Microsoft Marketplace, where it holds a 5-star rating from its reviewers, and it can read and make changes to the open document so its answers land directly in the workbook.
Elkar is freemium: the add-in can be tried for free through its Microsoft Marketplace listing, with paid options for continued and heavier use. It installs directly into Excel from the marketplace, so there is no separate platform to deploy.
Elkar is built for finance teams that need clean, consistent reporting, founders and operators running scenario analyses, and analysts who are tired of repetitive spreadsheet work such as formula debugging, model checking and manual PDF data entry.
