Biggest opportunity: One page off on “excel”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

How it's measured →1.8%
of downloads still active
At least 500 of 27.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,668 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 4 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| excel your tag | #16 | #24 | down 1 |
| embed excel | #11 | #23 | 0 |
| web calculator | #18 | #24 | 0 |
| calculator your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| embed your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| form your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| spreadsheet your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
26 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 23 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “excel”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “calculator”, “embed” and “form” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

The support here is ridiculous. They ignore your requests for weeks then come up with a simple question like “do you use diagrams?”. Although your question was about you using diagrams and in the attached files are diagrams and you clearly stated in your request that you use diagrams. Funny thing is that after you patiently answer “yes”, they disappear for another week. Last but not least, after I purchased the product they stopped answering at all! I have now a couple of outstanding requests and there’s no answer for more than a month. If the Spreadsheet Converter team sees this, please, I beg you, contact me.

The Excel plugin causes Excel to crash every time you use it. The WordPress plugin causes 403 errors. When you contact customer support, expect a delayed response with a message that does not address your concerns. They’ll simply claim no other users reported a problem and won’t engage with you to understand the problem. Or, they’ll provide generic feedback for some unrelated problem. While the result is cool when it works, I invested SEVERAL hours building Excel templates and working with both of their plugins to make it work. In the end, it was wasted time and money when I ran into issues and could not get any help. I absolutely would NOT recommend this app.

This plugin shows an error in the only admin page of it. The plugin needs a paid software for functioning with 30 days trial. But the software website is complicated and you can’t find any way to try or test software. You can download the software but can’t use it, just like the plugin itself… Waste of time This topic was modified 6 years, 9 months ago by dariush11.
