Question 1

What does the Excel Formula Bot do?

Accepted Answer

You describe what you want to calculate or do in plain English, and it generates a ready-to-use formula for Excel or Google Sheets.

Question 2

Does it see or upload my spreadsheet data?

Accepted Answer

No — your spreadsheet file and its data are never uploaded; only the text description you type is sent to a third-party AI service to generate the formula.

Question 3

Why might the formula not work right away when I paste it in?

Accepted Answer

The bot only sees your written description, not your actual spreadsheet, so it can't know your exact column layout or sheet names — always check the formula against your real data and adjust cell references as needed.

Question 4

Will the same formula work in both Excel and Google Sheets?

Accepted Answer

The bot aims to generate formulas that work in both, but some functions differ between the two, so double-check compatibility if you're unsure which spreadsheet app you're using.

Question 5

Is it free to use, and do I need an internet connection?

Accepted Answer

It's free with no account required, but since it calls an external AI service to generate the formula, you do need an internet connection for it to work.
