Excel Formula Explainer
Paste a formula and get a plain-English breakdown of exactly what it does - parsed deterministically, with no AI and no upload.
In plain English

Step-by-step breakdown

"High"The text "High".
"Low"The text "Low".
How the Explainer Works
Your formula is tokenized and parsed with the same grammar rules Excel uses - operator precedence, cell references, ranges, array constants, and nested function calls. Each node of the resulting tree is matched against a curated dictionary of function documentation, producing an explanation that is exact rather than guessed. Unlike AI-based explainers, the output is deterministic: the same formula always produces the same, correct breakdown.
