Free AI Excel Formula Generator
Describe what you want in plain language, such as "sum column B where column A is Paid", and get a formula that works in Excel and Google Sheets, with a short explanation of how it works. It is free and needs no sign-up. Your description is processed securely to generate the formula and is never stored, sold, or used for training.
What should the formula do?
Describe your data, do not paste it. This tool sends your description to a server to generate the formula, so never paste confidential records, credentials, API keys, or anything that identifies a person. Naming the columns is enough.
Your formula
Your formula appears here, ready to copy into Excel or Google Sheets.
The more specific the description, the better the formula. Name the columns and cells, say what the answer should look like, and mention edge cases such as blanks or duplicates.
How the AI Excel formula generator works
Describe what you want
Type what the formula should do in ordinary words, naming the columns or cells involved. Describe your data rather than pasting it.
Generate the formula
Your description is processed securely and you get a formula that works in Excel and Google Sheets, with a short explanation of what each part does.
Copy and test it
Copy the formula with one click, paste it into a copy of your spreadsheet, and check it against rows where you already know the answer.
Free, private, and built for spreadsheets
Most formula helpers put the full answer behind a sign-up, a trial, or an upgrade prompt once you have typed your question. This one gives you the whole formula and the explanation with nothing asked in return, and it is straight with you about where your text goes.
Free
The complete formula and its explanation at no cost. Not a truncated preview, not a watermarked sample, and no upgrade prompt standing between you and the answer.
No account required
No sign-up and no email wall. A rate limit keeps the free service available to everyone, so heavy use may ask you to wait a few minutes.
Honest about your data
Generating a formula needs a model, so your description is sent to a server. It is processed securely to produce the formula and is never stored, sold, or used for training. Do not paste confidential data, credentials, or personal information, describe the columns instead.
Accuracy note: this is a fast, structured starting point, not an authoritative verdict. AI-generated formulas can be incomplete or wrong, particularly when the description leaves ranges, sheet names, or data types unclear. Always test the formula on a copy of your data before relying on it.
Worked examples: prompts to formulas
Five requests our team writes often, and the formulas they produce. Select one to load it into the box above and generate it yourself.
| What you ask for | The formula | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
=SUMIF(A:A, "Paid", B:B) | SUMIF sums one column based on a condition in another. Use SUMIFS when you need two or more conditions. | |
=XLOOKUP(F2, A:A, C:C, "Not found") | XLOOKUP searches in any direction and takes a "not found" value. On older Excel versions use =VLOOKUP(F2, A:C, 3, FALSE). | |
=COUNTIFS(B:B, "APAC", C:C, ">=" & DATE(2026,1,1)) | COUNTIFS takes condition pairs. Building the date with DATE() avoids locale problems with typed date text. | |
=TEXTJOIN(", ", TRUE, D2:D20) | The TRUE in the second argument is what skips empty cells. Swap it for FALSE to keep them. | |
=IF(B2>=90, "A", IF(B2>=80, "B", IF(B2>=70, "C", "F"))) | Nested IFs are read top to bottom, so order the thresholds high to low. IFS() is shorter if your version supports it. |
Built for every team working with data
Almost every team keeps something important in a spreadsheet, and almost nobody remembers the exact argument order of INDEX and MATCH. Describe the result you want here, then pair it with an AI data analysis platform when the numbers in those columns came from people.
Researchers & data teams
Recode, filter, and cross-tabulate exported survey responses without hand-writing every nested condition.
Finance & operations
Reconcile ledgers, roll up totals by category, and sum against date ranges without rebuilding the logic each month.
Marketing & growth
Blend campaign exports, match on IDs across sheets, and count conversions that meet several conditions at once.
HR & people teams
Summarise headcount, tenure, and engagement scores by team without exposing the underlying rows to anyone.
Students & academics
Get the formula and an explanation of why it works, so the next one is easier to write yourself.
Anyone inheriting a spreadsheet
Describe what a column should calculate and get a formula you can read, rather than one you copy and hope about.
Where does the data in those columns come from?
If the answer is a survey, collect it with BlockSurvey, an AI data analysis platform that encrypts responses end to end, so what you export is never sold, mined, or used to train models.
