What this page gives you

  • A focused formula request flow for Excel and Google Sheets rather than a full spreadsheet-analysis workspace.
  • Write, Explain, and Fix modes with table context, range hints, formula notes, and a copy button.
  • A clear upgrade path: 2 guest tries, free email access at 3 runs per week, or $9 founding access for 500 runs per month in this browser.

When to use it

Use this page when you are comparing AI Excel formula tools and the immediate job is still formula-shaped: write a SUMIFS, fix a lookup, explain nested IF logic, build a conditional-formatting rule, or adapt a formula to the ranges in your sheet.

Do not use Write My Formula as a replacement for tools that upload whole workbooks, analyze data files, generate dashboards, or build charts. It is intentionally narrower: describe the formula job, paste the relevant context, and test the output before filling it down.

Worked example

For invoices with dates in A, status in B, and amounts in C, you can ask for a formula that totals paid invoices from the current month and ignores open rows.

=SUMIFS(C2:C500,B2:B500,"Paid",A2:A500,">="&DATE(2026,5,1),A2:A500,"<"&DATE(2026,6,1))

The formula totals only rows marked Paid where the invoice date falls inside May 2026. The checks tell you to confirm date cells are real dates and that each SUMIFS range has the same height.

Check before you paste

  • Use a broader spreadsheet AI if you need file upload, charts, dashboards, or whole-table analysis.
  • Use Write My Formula when the job is a formula you can describe, test, and paste.
  • Test the output on one known row before filling it through an important workbook.

Upgrade when the work piles up

Keep going when the sheet gets complicated.

Try twice as a guest. Free accounts get 3 runs per week plus a monthly product email. Upgrade when formula work becomes a recurring part of the week.
