Using the formula generator
Open the AI chat (Cmd+\ / Ctrl+\) and select Formula mode, or just ask:
- “Write a VLOOKUP to match order IDs between Sheet1 and Sheet2”
- “Create an IF formula that categorizes scores as A, B, C, D, or F”
- “Calculate the weighted average of column C using weights in column D”
- “Write a SUMIFS formula that totals revenue for the West region in Q3”
Capabilities
The formula generator can:- Write new formulas from descriptions
- Explain existing formulas — paste a formula and ask “what does this do?”
- Fix broken formulas — paste an error-producing formula and the AI diagnoses and fixes it
- Optimize formulas — simplify complex nested formulas
- Convert between platforms — translate Google Sheets formulas to Excel syntax and vice versa
Inserting formulas
When the AI generates a formula, click Insert to place it directly into the selected cell. The AI handles cell references based on your current data layout.Examples
Lookup:
“Match customer names to their email addresses using the lookup table on Sheet2”
=VLOOKUP(A2, Sheet2!$A:$B, 2, FALSE)
Conditional aggregation:
“Sum all sales from the Marketing department in January”
=SUMIFS(D:D, B:B, "Marketing", C:C, ">="&DATE(2024,1,1), C:C, "<"&DATE(2024,2,1))
Nested logic:
“Assign a risk rating based on score: High if above 80, Medium if 50-80, Low if below 50”
=IF(A2>80, "High", IF(A2>=50, "Medium", "Low"))
