Formula Generator
Pick a common formula pattern, fill in the blanks, and get a ready-to-paste Excel or Google Sheets formula — no syntax memorization needed.
How to use Formula Generator
- Set the inputs and options shown here: Formula type, ${label}.

- Review the results, then choose an output control: Copy Formula.
Building a formula without memorizing exact syntax
VLOOKUP, SUMIF, and nested IF statements all follow a specific argument order that's easy to forget between uses, leading to a quick search every time. Picking the formula type and filling in labeled fields produces the correctly-formatted formula directly, ready to paste into a cell.
Why these formulas work in both Excel and Google Sheets
The functions covered here — VLOOKUP, IF, SUMIF, COUNTIF, CONCATENATE, IFERROR — use identical syntax in both Excel and Google Sheets, so a formula generated here pastes in and works correctly regardless of which spreadsheet app you're using.
Can I edit the generated formula further?
Yes — the output is plain, editable text; copy it in and adjust cell references or arguments as needed for your specific sheet.
Does this work for array formulas or newer dynamic-array functions?
No — this covers the classic, widely-compatible formula set; newer functions specific to one app's latest version aren't included.
What if my lookup range is on a different sheet?
Reference it directly in the range field using standard cross-sheet syntax, like Sheet2!A:C.
