Excel-to-Sheets formula translator (Beta)

Seamlessly switch between Microsoft Excel™ and Google Sheets™. If you have formulas from Excel that don’t work in Sheets (or vice versa), Formula Foundry’s translator has you covered. Paste an Excel formula, and it will automatically convert functions and syntax to Google Sheets™ format (and the other way around).

Key benefits:

  • Supports conversion of most Excel-specific functions (e.g., XLOOKUP, SUMIFS differences) into Google Sheets™ equivalents and alerts if something isn’t directly transferable.
  • Also helps identify Google Sheets™ functions that have different names in Excel (e.g., ARRAYFORMULA usage or date functions).
  • Reduces migration headaches when moving legacy spreadsheets to Google Sheets™ for collaboration.
  • Accurate description for every formula in Google Sheets™ and Microsoft Excel™.

Rich formula editor

Easily write and edit formulas with enhanced visibility in our code editor. Long formulas automatically break into readable lines, so you’ll never lose track of parentheses or logic. Including syntax highlighting, auto-completion, bracket matching, and smart indentation.

Key benefits:

  • Color-coded functions and ranges to easily spot errors or references.
  • Auto-suggest for formula functions and range names as you type (no more memorizing every function name).
  • Find & replace within formulas to quickly update field names or values.
  • Dark mode and customizable font size for comfortable long work sessions.

Visual formula builder (no-code formula creation)

Prefer to point-and-click? The visual builder lets you construct IF formulas without writing any code. Pick functions from a menu, fill in placeholders with cell references or values, and watch the formula build itself. Formula Foundry guides you step by step.

Key benefits:

  • Real-time preview of the formula as it’s built, so you learn the syntax as you go.
  • Reduce errors by filling arguments through form fields.
  • Built-in field validation.
  • Add endless amount of nested groups and expressions without thinking about syntax.

Reusable snippets library

Stop reinventing the wheel. Formula Foundry includes a snippet library where you can save and reuse pieces of formulas or entire formulas. If you’ve mastered a tricky array formula or a perfect regex, save it as a snippet and insert it later with one click. This is a lifesaver for common tasks.

Key benefits:

  • Create your own snippets from any formula and give them names for easy recall.
  • Snippet search: quickly find a saved formula by typing keywords.
  • Sync snippets across your devices (logged-in Google account) – your library goes where you go.
  • Save your snippets for both: formula editor and formula builder.

Variables for spreadsheets

Take speed and consistency to the next level with Variables in Formula Foundry! Define a value once, and use it in multiple formulas across your sheet or multiple sheets. No more updating the same number in 20 places or worrying you missed one.

Key benefits:

  • Create and manage variables (like exchange rates, constants, targets) in a dedicated sidebar. Update the value in one place.
  • Use variables in formulas by name (e.g., use @@TaxRate inside a formula) – Formula Foundry will replace it with the value behind the scenes.
  • Ensure consistency: all team members use the same approved values, which is great for financial and business reporting integrity.
  • Easily toggle or update variables for scenario analysis (e.g., quickly see how changes in @@InterestRate affect all your calculations).

AI assistant; formula debugger and writer

Stuck on a formula? Describe what you need in plain language, and let the AI suggest a formula for you. Formula Foundry integrates an AI assistant to generate formulas and explain existing ones. It’s like having an expert on call. You remain in control – review and edit the AI’s formula in the rich editor.

Key benefits:

  • Natural language to formula: speed up formula creation when you’re unsure how to start.
  • Formula explain: paste a confusing formula and get a step-by-step explanation in seconds (great for learning or auditing complex sheets).
  • Error debug suggestions: if a formula isn’t working, the AI can hint at what might be wrong (missing range, misused function, etc.).
  • Saves time especially for novice users, while still helping them learn how the formula works for the future.
