AI for Excel and Google Sheets
An AI Excel formula generator that produces usable formulas—not just suggestions.
SheetWise helps spreadsheet users translate a business rule into Excel formulas and Google Sheets formulas. Instead of trying to remember the exact syntax for functions such as SUMIFS, XLOOKUP, FILTER, INDEX and MATCH, you can explain the desired outcome and receive a formula designed around your columns, conditions, and worksheet structure.
The Formula Generator is also useful after a formula has already been written. Explain mode makes complex formulas easier to audit, Fix mode helps diagnose common syntax and reference problems, and Optimize mode can simplify repetitive expressions or suggest modern spreadsheet functions. This makes the tool useful for beginners learning formulas and experienced users maintaining large workbooks.
Frequently asked questions
Formula Generator FAQ
Can AI write Excel formulas from plain English?
Yes. Describe the result you need and include relevant cell references, columns, conditions, or worksheet names. SheetWise returns a copy-ready formula and explains how it works.
Does the Formula Generator support Google Sheets?
Yes. Select Google Sheets before generating. The result is tailored to Google Sheets syntax and can use functions such as QUERY, FILTER, ARRAYFORMULA, and REGEXMATCH where appropriate.
Can SheetWise explain an existing formula?
Yes. Choose Explain, paste the formula, and request a plain-language breakdown. This is useful for inherited spreadsheets, audits, training, and troubleshooting.
Can it fix #N/A, #VALUE!, or #REF! errors?
Fix mode can inspect the formula and the problem you describe, then suggest a corrected expression. Include sample column meanings or the expected result for a more precise answer.
What information should I include in my request?
Mention column letters, worksheet names, conditions, date rules, lookup ranges, and what should happen when data is blank or not found. Specific prompts usually produce more reliable formulas.
Will every generated formula work without review?
Formula results should be reviewed against your workbook because spreadsheet structure and regional settings vary. Test the formula on a copy of your data before using it in a critical workflow.
Can it optimize old formulas?
Yes. Optimize mode can simplify repeated calculations, improve readability, and suggest newer functions such as XLOOKUP, LET, FILTER, or dynamic arrays when compatible with your spreadsheet app.
Do I need advanced Excel knowledge?
No. The tool is designed for plain-language requests, while explanations help you understand and safely adapt the formula after it is generated.
