Excel Formula Generator
Describe what you want in plain English and get the formula — or paste a formula you don't understand and get it explained line by line. Works for both Excel and Google Sheets.

How ExcelBoss Pro works
ExcelBoss Pro turns plain-English descriptions into working spreadsheet formulas. Type something like "sum column B if column A says Approved" and you get the exact =SUMIF formula back — no function-reference lookup, no trial and error. It handles lookups, conditional logic, date math, text manipulation, and nested combinations.
It also works in reverse. Paste a formula you inherited or found in a colleague's workbook and ExcelBoss Pro explains it in plain English — what each part does, what it evaluates to, and why. That's useful when you're auditing a spreadsheet you didn't build, debugging a formula that returns an error, or trying to understand a complex nested INDEX/MATCH before you modify it.
When a formula throws #REF!, #N/A, or #VALUE!, the error explainer pinpoints the likely cause and gives you a corrected version. Everything works for both Excel and Google Sheets — just toggle the platform and the syntax adjusts automatically.
