Operations formulas that actually operate.
Formula Genius helps operations teams generate validated spreadsheet formulas, SQL queries, and regex patterns from plain-English descriptions. Common challenge: a wrong reorder point means stockouts or overstock. Get accurate results in seconds, not hours.
Inventory triggers, scheduling logic, and logistics calculations — generated with validation so your operations run on formulas you can trust.
"Calculate reorder point based on average daily usage, lead time, and safety stock"
=average_daily_usage * lead_time_days + safety_stockSpreadsheet challenges that operations teams face every day.
Inventory formulas have real consequences
A wrong reorder point means stockouts or overstock. Both cost money. Operations formulas need to be right the first time.
Scheduling logic is deceptively complex
Business days, holidays, shift patterns, and lead times create conditional date calculations that break in subtle ways.
Cross-system data consolidation
ERP exports, warehouse data, and shipping reports all need to be merged and reconciled in spreadsheets. Every join is a potential error.

"Calculate economic order quantity (EOQ)"
=SQRT(2 * annual_demand * ordering_cost / holding_cost_per_unit)"Days of inventory remaining based on current stock and average daily usage"
=IFERROR(current_stock / AVERAGEIFS(daily_usage, date, ">="&TODAY()-30), "N/A")"Next business day after adding lead time, excluding holidays"
=WORKDAY(ship_date, lead_time_days, holiday_range)"Warehouse utilization by zone and time period"
SELECT zone, DATE_TRUNC('week', recorded_at) AS week,
ROUND(AVG(used_capacity::numeric / total_capacity * 100), 1) AS utilization_pct
FROM warehouse_metrics
GROUP BY zone, week
ORDER BY zone, week;Features that matter for operations teams.
Inventory management
Reorder points, EOQ, safety stock calculations, ABC analysis, and inventory turnover — all with proper edge-case handling.
Date and scheduling logic
WORKDAY, NETWORKDAYS, holiday handling, shift calculations, and lead time computations that account for real-world scheduling.
Cross-reference and reconciliation
XLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH formulas to merge data from multiple systems. Fuzzy matching for imperfect joins.
Dashboard metrics
KPI calculations — fill rate, on-time delivery, cycle time, utilization — with validation and conditional formatting rules.
Frequently asked questions
Can it handle date calculations with holidays?
Yes. WORKDAY and NETWORKDAYS with custom holiday lists. Also supports shift-aware calculations and business hours computations.
Does it work with ERP data exports?
Generate cleanup and transformation formulas for any tabular data. TRIM, CLEAN, text-to-columns, and lookup formulas that standardize ERP exports.
Can it build inventory models?
EOQ, reorder points, safety stock, ABC classification, and FIFO/LIFO cost calculations. Describe your inventory setup and get tested formulas.
