Spreadsheet help without the jargon

Why we built it

Most people who use spreadsheets are not spreadsheet experts. They know what they want, like "total the paid orders for the West region", but not which function does it, in which order the arguments go, or why it returns #N/A. Many AI tools ask you to sign up first, hide the explanation behind a paywall, or give a formula your version of Excel cannot run.

We wanted something simpler: describe the task, get a formula that fits your app, your Excel version and your region, see it work on an example, and understand every part of it.

What you can do here

• Generate formulas from a description, for Excel 2016 through Microsoft 365 and Google Sheets.
• Explain, fix and convert formulas you already have.
• Clean a messy table privately in your browser.
• Write VBA macros and Apps Scripts, regex formulas and conditional formatting rules.
• Copy from the formula library or look up an error in the error guide.

How the AI works

Requests are answered by an open AI model running on Cloudflare's network. We give it detailed instructions about which functions each Excel version and Google Sheets support, and ask it for a worked example so you can check the answer. AI can still make mistakes, so always test a formula on a copy of your data before relying on it.

Free to use

There is no account and no paid plan. To keep the service running for everyone, each visitor can make 25 AI requests a day. The formula library, error guide and quick-clean tools are unlimited.
