Formula Bot (formerly Excel Formula Bot) vs Rows

Formula Bot is a chat-based data analytics platform where you upload spreadsheets or connect databases, then ask questions in plain English to get formulas, charts, dashboards, and written insights back. It started as an Excel formula helper and now covers analysis, visualization, and scheduled reporting in one workspace.

The product runs analysis in an isolated sandbox and shows the Python, SQL, or R code behind each answer so you can verify results before exporting. You can also build interactive dashboards from templates, schedule Playbooks to refresh reports automatically, and embed analytics chat on your own site.

It fits analysts, finance teams, marketers, and business owners who live in Excel or Google Sheets but want faster answers without writing every formula or pivot by hand.

Rows is a cloud spreadsheet built for teams that want to analyze business data without SQL, BI dashboards, or manual copy-paste workflows. You connect sources like analytics tools, ad platforms, bank accounts, and databases, then ask questions in plain language to build reports, models, and charts inside a familiar grid.

The product positions itself as an AI data analyst: you can extract tables from PDFs and images, merge datasets, run forecasts, and automate refreshes on a schedule. Rows also supports real-time collaboration, embeddable reports, and interactive forms so spreadsheets can be shared outside a traditional workbook.

Rows has joined Superhuman, and the site now points new users toward Coda as part of that transition. The Rows product, docs, templates, and integrations remain available at rows.com for existing workflows and sign-up.

Founded in 2016 with offices in Porto and Berlin, Rows targets business teams, marketers, and analysts who already think in spreadsheets but need live data connections and AI-assisted analysis in one place.
