Formularizer

What Formularizer is

An assistant for spreadsheet problems. You describe what you want and it gives a formula, explains a formula you already have, or offers a read on the data.

It is aimed at people who work with tables but do not want to learn function syntax.

What you can do with it

• Generate a formula from a description
• Ask what an existing formula does
• Get a summary view of a table's data
• Work out a calculation without documentation
• Ask office questions about a sheet
• Check a formula before using it widely

Who it is for

• Business and operations staff
• Data organisers and students
• Finance assistants
• Spreadsheet beginners

What to watch out for

• Formulas and insights drift when field meaning, data quality or business rules are unclear
• Important reports and decisions need checking back in the original sheet
• Describe your columns and goal precisely, or the answer will be off
• Verify anything that feeds a formal number
