FAQ

Do I need to know Excel syntax to use this?

No. You choose what you want to do in plain English and fill in the cell ranges; the tool writes the correct formula with proper syntax and commas.

Which formulas can it build?

SUMIF, SUMIFS, COUNTIF, AVERAGEIF, VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, IF, IFS and TEXTJOIN — the everyday workhorses that cover most spreadsheet tasks.

Does it work in Google Sheets too?

Most of these formulas are identical in Google Sheets. XLOOKUP is available in current Google Sheets; the others (SUMIF, VLOOKUP, IF, TEXTJOIN) work in both.

What if I need a complex formula this doesn't cover?

For multi-step or bespoke logic, DataHub Pro's AI reads your actual columns and writes the full formula from a plain-English description — see the AI Excel formula generator.
