Better Sheets Formula Generator is an AI-powered tool that turns natural-language problem descriptions into paste-ready Google Sheets formulas. You describe what you want (e.g. 'sum column B where column A equals current month') and the tool returns a working formula, with separate dedicated generators for trickier functions like QUERY, SPARKLINE, REGEXMATCH, and REGEXREPLACE. There's also an Apps Script Explainer that translates automation code into plain English.

It sits inside the broader Better Sheets ecosystem from spreadsheet educator Andrew Kamphey, which bundles templates, courses, and Sheets add-ons. The pricing is unusually founder-friendly: 2 free generations to try it, then a $90/year membership for unlimited use, or a $275 AppSumo lifetime deal. That makes it a fit for analysts, operators, and small-business owners who live in Sheets but don't want to memorize ARRAYFORMULA syntax or pay enterprise prices for a copilot.

Don't expect deep workspace integration: this is a web form, not a Sheets sidebar add-on, and there's no public API or open-source code. The value is the focused, formula-specific prompting plus the surrounding library of templates and tutorials when the formula alone isn't enough.

Editor's take

A pragmatic, indie tool from a known Sheets educator. The specialized QUERY and regex generators are genuinely useful, and the $275 lifetime via AppSumo is the kind of pricing the big copilots won't match. Just know you're paying for the prompts and the ecosystem, not deep Workspace integration.
