A dashboard built once, that updates itself

Every =VERVE() cell can recalculate on a schedule you choose — from every 30 minutes up to daily by plan — so a spreadsheet you build today stays live tomorrow without anyone touching it. Scheduled recalculation runs in the background, in Google Sheets and Excel, and manual refresh is always a click away.

How refresh works

Cells that keep themselves current

Set a cadence once and VerveSheets re-fetches in the background — you pay only for the pulls it actually makes.

Scheduled recalculation

Set a cadence and cells re-fetch on their own in the background. A model built once keeps updating itself — no manual refresh, no reopening the file.

  • set it once

Cadence by plan

Choose how often cells refresh — from every 30 minutes on higher plans up to daily. Pick the rhythm your dashboard actually needs.

  • 30 min → daily

Manual refresh anytime

Need the freshest number right now? Trigger a refresh by hand whenever you want — the schedule handles the rest between your clicks.

  • on demand

Only pays when it pulls

Each refresh spends credits by source, so you pay for the updates you actually schedule — nothing runs, and nothing bills, when the sheet is idle.

Set it up

Three steps to a self-updating sheet

Build the board, choose how often it refreshes, and walk away.

  1. 01

    Build your sheet with =VERVE

    Lay out your dashboard and fill the live values with =VERVE("source", …) — weather, prices, KPIs, whatever the board tracks.

  2. 02

    Pick a refresh cadence

    Choose how often those cells recalculate — every open, every hour, or every 30 minutes up to daily depending on your plan.

  3. 03

    Walk away — it stays live

    VerveSheets re-fetches on schedule in the background. Come back to a board that's already current, in Google Sheets or Excel.

Where it shines

Dashboards that stay live

Anywhere a number goes stale the moment you paste it, a scheduled refresh keeps it honest.

Live KPI dashboard

Revenue, conversion, weather-driven demand — a one-page board that's current every morning without anyone rebuilding it.

  • =VERVE("weather","London","temp")

Market watchlist

Track currencies, gold, and stock indices in a column that refreshes on its own through the trading day.

  • =VERVE("currency","USD","EUR")
  • =VERVE("goldprice")

Ops board

Timezones for a global team, world time, holidays and headlines — an operations sheet that keeps itself annotated and current.

  • =VERVE("timezone",A2:A9)
  • =VERVE("worldtime")

Refresh questions, answered.

Cadence, cost, and how the schedule behaves.

Talk to the team
How often can cells refresh?
From every 30 minutes on higher plans up to daily — you pick the cadence per your plan. You can also refresh on every open, or trigger a manual refresh at any moment.
Does the sheet update when it's closed?
Scheduled recalculation keeps your cells current on the cadence you set, so you return to a board that's already up to date rather than one that only refreshes when you reopen it. Manual refresh is always available on top.
What does auto-refresh cost?
Each refresh spends credits by source — the same per-cell pricing as any =VERVE() call. You pay only for the pulls your schedule actually makes; an idle sheet doesn't bill.
Can I still refresh manually?
Yes. A manual refresh is always available whenever you want the very latest value immediately, independent of the schedule you've set.
Does it work the same in Excel?
Yes. Scheduled recalculation works in both Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel from the same account and key, so a dashboard built in one stays live in the other.

Build it once. Let it keep itself current. Add the extension, type one function, and pick a refresh cadence.
