Teach formulas. Learn formulas. Faster.
Formula Genius helps educators & students generate validated spreadsheet formulas, SQL queries, and regex patterns from plain-English descriptions. Common challenge: building gradebooks, attendance trackers, and progress reports shouldn't require an excel certification. Get accurate results in seconds, not hours.
Whether you're building a gradebook or learning SQL for the first time — Formula Genius generates correct formulas with step-by-step explanations.
"Calculate weighted final grade: Homework 20%, Midterm 30%, Final 50%"
=homework*0.2 + midterm*0.3 + final_exam*0.5
Spreadsheet challenges that educators & students face every day.
Teachers aren't spreadsheet experts
Building gradebooks, attendance trackers, and progress reports shouldn't require an Excel certification.
Students need to understand, not just copy
Copying a formula from Stack Overflow doesn't teach anything. Students need step-by-step breakdowns to learn the logic.
Classroom data keeps growing
Multiple classes, sections, assignment types, and grading rubrics — the spreadsheet complexity scales faster than most teachers expect.
Real formulas for educators & students

"Convert a numeric score to a letter grade"
=IFS(score>=90,"A", score>=80,"B", score>=70,"C", score>=60,"D", TRUE,"F")
"Count students who scored above class average"
=COUNTIF(scores, ">"&AVERAGE(scores))
"Attendance percentage for each student this semester"
=COUNTIFS(student, A2, status, "Present") / COUNTIF(student, A2)
"Average grade by assignment type across all students"
=QUERY(A1:D, "SELECT B, AVG(D) GROUP BY B LABEL AVG(D) 'Average Grade'")

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free plan for students?
Yes. The free tier includes formula generation, explanations, and validation — enough for coursework and learning. No credit card required.
Can students use this to learn SQL?
Absolutely. Describe a query in English, see the SQL with explanations. It's like having a tutor that shows the right answer and explains every clause.
Does it work for university-level statistics?
It generates formulas for common statistical functions — AVERAGE, STDEV, PERCENTILE, regression — with proper explanations. For advanced statistical modeling, pair it with dedicated tools.
