New firm has both macabacus and Cap IQ pro for Excel. Which has better shortcuts? Does it make sense to keep both? Thank you!

For modeling, Macab will auto code colors upon entry, which is super helpful. I’ve also found the name scrubber great in dealing with files you inherit from old orgs or people.

IQ I just use for data.

Keep both - they’re free 🤷🏼‍♂️ they also don’t fight with each other so it’s no big deal

Macabacus is better for shortcuts, we were told to disable all the CapIQ ones and just it for data during training

Thank you both - super helpful!!
