Once installed, EQUS appears as a task panel (normally on the right of your spreadsheet) and tab. When you select a single cell in any spreadsheet you are working on, the panel will show a visualization of what is in the cell. When the cell contains a numeric formula EQUS comes into its own and visualizes the formula.
You can move and resize the EQUS task panel if you want. You can hide the panel by closing it, and it can be brought back by going to the EQUS ribbon tab and clicking on the “Visualize” button
EQUS does not attempt to visualize anything when ranges of cells are selected and when working with some of the less numeric Excel functions.
There are number of features of EQUS that can be configured to localize it to you needs. These include, whether is always starts with the window open, whether it attempts to visualize non-formula and many others. (See Configuration options).
The colors used by EQUS can changed to aid accessibility.
