Isentris for Excel
Isentris for Excel enables scientists to access, browse, collate, manage and share scientific data
from a diverse range of commercial, in-house and local data sources in the Microsoft® Excel®
spreadsheet environment.
Managing data in Excel
Workflow support
Microsoft Excel is a widely used tool in research
• Quickly populate Excel reports with live
workflows. Excel’s powerful sorting, filtering and
structures that can be edited or used as the
graphical features are critical to exploring data and
basis of another query
sharing information with colleagues. Researchers
use Excel to graph data for presentations; to create
calculations for analyzing data and exploring ideas;
to filter data for specific projects; to pivot data
to see relationships between experiments and
assays; to annotate information before sharing
with colleagues; and to investigate the effects of
functional groups on experimental values.
• Use Excel functionality to manipulate, present
and share research information within
spreadsheets while maintaining the integrity of
the chemical structures in the spreadsheet
• Extract multiple sets of data from multiple
sources into a common Excel report
• Create in silico enumerated chemical libraries

Figure 2: Using Isentris for Excel, researchers can use external
calculators to add related information to their spreadsheets in
support of decision-making and SAR analysis (including Rgroup
decomposition provided by Symyx Cheshire software). The resulting
spreadsheets are readily sharable with colleagues.
