FAQ
How many Excel formulas does this tool cover?
The tool includes 50+ of the most commonly used Excel formulas organized into 7 categories: Math & Arithmetic, Text & String, Lookup & Reference, Date & Time, Logical, Statistical, and Financial.
Can I use the generated formulas in Google Sheets?
Yes, most Excel formulas are compatible with Google Sheets. A few functions like XLOOKUP and IFS require newer versions of Excel or Google Sheets.
Does this tool actually run the formulas?
No — this tool generates formula strings that you paste into your spreadsheet. The spreadsheet application evaluates the formula with your actual data.
Is my data private?
All processing happens in your browser. No data is ever sent to any server or third party.
What is the difference between VLOOKUP and XLOOKUP?
XLOOKUP is the modern replacement for VLOOKUP. It can search in any direction, returns exact matches by default, and supports a not-found fallback value. VLOOKUP only searches the leftmost column.
How do I use INDEX/MATCH together?
INDEX/MATCH is a powerful combination: MATCH finds the row position of a value, and INDEX returns the value at that position from another column. Example: =INDEX(C1:C10, MATCH("Apple", A1:A10, 0))
