ToolRank
ToolRank is ToolPotion’s proprietary ranking engine.
It continuously evaluates hundreds of signals across the open web — real traffic and popularity, audience and community strength, authority and longevity, adoption and engagement — processing millions of data points to place every tool where it has earned to be.
Every AI type is measured by its own tailored model: what proves traction for a SaaS app is not what proves it for an open-source framework or a creator channel. Missing a platform never counts against a tool — ToolRank judges the evidence that exists.
No paid placement. No self-reported numbers.
If you already work in Microsoft Excel, its built-in Copilot is the best of the AI tools for generating Excel formulas. GPT for Work writes, fixes and explains formulas inside Excel and Google Sheets, and GPT Excel adds SQL, VBA and regex. — Editor's verdict

How to choose AI tools for generating Excel formulas
Stick to your spreadsheet app
Choose a tool that lives where you already work.
Ask for explanations
A formula you cannot read is hard to trust. GPT for Work and GPT Excel explain what each formula does, so you can check the logic before sharing a file.
Check bulk limits
Row limits matter for large jobs. GPT for Sheets handles 300,000+ rows at 400 prompts per minute, and GPT for Work processes up to about 1M rows in Excel.
Look beyond formulas
Many spreadsheet tasks need more than one formula. GPT Excel also writes SQL, VBA and regex, and Quadratic generates Python and SQL for deeper analysis.
