Converts natural language descriptions into spreadsheet formulas using AI. Users describe what calculation they want in plain English, and the system generates the corresponding formula syntax.
Establishes direct connections to SQL databases and PostgreSQL instances, pulling live data into spreadsheets without manual exports or refresh cycles. Data updates automatically as source database changes.
Connects to external APIs to pull live data directly into spreadsheets. Enables real-time data synchronization from third-party services and platforms without manual data transfer.
Allows users to ask questions about their data in natural language, with AI interpreting the query and returning relevant results. Eliminates the need to write SQL or understand database structure.
Creates spreadsheet-based reports that automatically update with live data from connected sources. Reports stay current without manual refresh or data export workflows.
Performs data cleaning, transformation, and aggregation operations within the spreadsheet interface using AI-assisted formulas and functions. Enables complex data manipulation without leaving the spreadsheet environment.
Enables multiple users to work on the same spreadsheet simultaneously with shared access and editing capabilities. Supports team-based data analysis and reporting workflows.
Identifies errors in spreadsheet formulas and suggests corrections using AI analysis. Helps prevent calculation mistakes and improves spreadsheet reliability.

Construct data transformations through a visual, step-by-step interface without writing code. Users click through operations like filtering, sorting, and reshaping data, with each step automatically generating M language code in the background.
Automatically detect and assign appropriate data types (text, number, date, boolean) to columns based on content analysis. Reduces manual type-setting and catches data quality issues early.
Stack multiple datasets vertically to combine rows from different sources. Automatically aligns columns by name and handles mismatched schemas.
Split a single column into multiple columns based on delimiters, fixed widths, or patterns. Extracts structured data from unstructured text fields.
Convert data between wide and long formats. Pivot transforms rows into columns (aggregating values), while unpivot transforms columns into rows.
Identify and remove duplicate rows based on all columns or specific key columns. Keeps first or last occurrence based on user preference.
Detect, replace, and manage null or missing values in datasets. Options include removing rows, filling with defaults, or using formulas to impute values.
Power Query scores higher at 32/100 vs Equals at 28/100. However, Equals offers a free tier which may be better for getting started.
