An Alternative to Formulas
Still writing formulas? You won’t be soon.
Slight exaggeration. Anyway…
Excel Formula Bot is a free AI-based generator that converts your plain English (or Spanish) instruction(s) into a formula.
The creator, David Bressler, claims to have built it ‘without a single line of code’.

This is a query:
“When column A equals the word ‘hello,’ calculate the sum of column B.”
This is the result:
=SUMIF(A:A,"hello",B:B)At the time of writing, 442,543 formulas have been generated (and counting). Every time you use the system, you are helping to improve the model as all queries are recorded.
It’s an impressive start. I envisage it will be most useful for beginners at this nascent stage; however, who knows how good it’ll get?
Have a go and see what you think. Remember, you are limited to 20 queries within 24 hours, so don’t use it willy-nilly.
