An Excel worksheet is used for presenting a data set. On the internet, it is presented in the form of a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file rather than as an xls file. An Excel data set in the form of CSV comprises a first row as a single row of headings and it does not have any formulas. The corresponding link should clearly state if the CSV has a raw data set. There is also a need for a distinct data definition document alongside the CSV files.
At Acadecraft, we perform accessible Excel remediation meeting Section 508, WCAG, and other important standards. To ensure accessible Excel documents, we check sufficient color contrast between text and background colors. We give unique names to worksheets, remove blank worksheets, name cells, and ranges, and give headings, subheadings, and bold typefaces for emphasis where needed. Additionally, text-based links are added to specify sources at the end of the document. This improves readability and ensures a seamless experience for all users.
Our experts guide through assessment, planning, implementation, and support.
Tables help users identify a set of data. They should be simple, acceptably labeled by a descriptive name, and formatted using styles to make the data stand out, for example using table style with strong color contrast. Also, it is important to specify column header information in a table to identify rows and columns, ensuring that screen reader users can easily navigate the tables and understand the information presented. Our team carries out the required work for you. We also take care of table structuring for accessibility, for example using simple tables, avoiding splitting or merging cells.
Using accessible Excel templates ensures that your spreadsheet design, fonts, color contrast, and other elements are accessible to all audiences. We review and fix accessible Excel worksheet templates with ample amounts of white space to make it easier to read spreadsheets. Additionally, we preset descriptive headings and labels to make the spreadsheet easier to understand for users navigating it with a screen reader.
A screen reader begins reading a worksheet from cell A1. In case, your worksheet has a table, A1 should have the table’s title. For a complex worksheet, add an overview or instructions in cell A1. This informs those who are visually impaired to understand what is presented in your worksheet and how to use it. Matching the instructional text with the background color hides it from people with normal vision, nevertheless, the screen readers to crawl them.
We add meaningful and descriptive alt text to pictures, shapes, groups, charts, pivot charts, SmartArt graphics, embedded objects, links, and videos. Additionally, we include closed captioning for people who have impaired hearing or vision.
People using screen readers may want to scan a list of links. We add meaningful text to make the hyperlink destination clear. For further accessibility enhancement, we add ScreenTips allowing them to appear as your cursor hovers over text or images having a hyperlink.
An accessible font color, style, and format improves the legibility and readability of the spreadsheet. Accessible sans serif fonts like Arial or Calibri reduce the reading load. Moreover, we review text style and fix to ensure avoidance of using all capital letters, excessive italics, or underlines. Headings should have bold or a larger font. An accessible font color in a high contrast mode allows the text in your spreadsheet to be easily read.
Charts in a worksheet facilitate the comprehension of complex information. We use clear and descriptive language for the chart elements such as the chart title or data labels to make charts accessible.
We rename worksheets using meaningful and descriptive text ensuring the labels are unique names. This helps Screen readers read worksheet names, and give important information about worksheet content to visually impaired users. Additionally, we delete blank worksheets to facilitate non-ambiguity.
It is important to name cells and ranges in the right patterns, helping screen reader users quickly identify the purpose of cells and ranges in Excel worksheets.
Upon optimization of the worksheets in this way, we review if the spreadsheet is ready by running an Accessibility Checker to ensure that it is inclusive. Moreover, we need to make the spreadsheet navigable using a screen reader. Our accessibility experts with disabilities will also review and ensure the navigability and accessibility of your spreadsheets.
