Excel URL Validator

Many office tasks involve working with Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Nevertheless, your familiarity with these types of documents does not automatically ensure your productivity since the chances are your routine also consists of multiple small and recurring responsibilities such as checking whether URLs stored in XLS files are functional.

Excel URL Validator is a piece of software that can automate the entire operation since it can look into multiple spreadsheets at the same time and notify you of any broken links that may need your attention.

First things first, let’s take a look at the program's user interface, which seems to be tailored to the needs of all users alike. The GUI is clean and intuitive, but there is nothing eye-candy about it.

All you need to do in order to start processing your Excel spreadsheets is select them one by one or indicate the directory packing them all. Users may want to know that checking the files should be an uneventful operation – at least, during our tests, it was so.

Before inspecting the results, however, you should indicate an output location for the reports the program creates after each complete task. Aside from that, the app lets you specify whether you need multiple reports or a single one, centralizing all data either as a text file or spreadsheet.

What is pretty efficient is that you can make your current settings default for any future task, which should save time.

Once this step is complete, the program’s main window neatly organizes all the resorts, with the analyzed URLs being listed along with their status. You may explore URLs either in bulk or by looking into the “Valid” and “Invalid” tabs.

As you can see, the software utility is quite simplistic and responsive. While it does not boast an impressive set of tools, it does its job remarkably, without any hiccups or other similar issues, so if you want to check your Excel spreadsheets for broken links, you may want to give it a chance.
