Most formulas work in both Excel and Google Sheets. Check the compatibility badge shown with each formula - it will indicate "Excel", "Google Sheets", or "Excel 365 Only".

Some modern formulas like FILTER, SORT, UNIQUE, and XLOOKUP are only available in Excel 365 (Microsoft 365). They won't work in older Excel versions or Google Sheets.

Use standard Excel notation like A1:A10 for a range, or A1 for a single cell. The tool shows format hints below each input field.

The URL updates automatically when you select a formula. Bookmark the URL (e.g., ?formula=SUMIF) to return to that specific formula later.

We have 70+ most commonly used formulas. If you need something specific, contact us and we'll consider adding it.

No limits! The formula generator is completely free to use as many times as you need.
