Base64 Encode in a Cell in Google Sheets & Excel — =VERVE("base64", "Hello World")

What this pulls

Encode or decode Base64 by the row. =VERVE("base64", A2, "encode") converts text down a column — Google Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 1 credit per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

Ways to use it

Convert by the row

Fill =VERVE("base64", "Hello World") beside a column of input and get the converted value back for every row — a batch conversion done in one drag.

No parser, no export

Turn one format into another right in the cell instead of round-tripping through a script or an online tool.

Feed the next step

Pipe the converted value straight into the formula or chart that needs it.

Use it in your sheet

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("base64", "Hello World")

Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("base64", "Hello World")

Optional inputs

Tune the result by adding name=value before the field argument — in any order. Leave one out and its default applies.

The action to perform

Fields you can pull

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Data.action
=VERVE("base64", "Hello World", "field", "data.action")
Data.original
=VERVE("base64", "Hello World", "field", "data.original")
Data.encoded
=VERVE("base64", "Hello World", "field", "data.encoded")
Data.length
=VERVE("base64", "Hello World", "field", "data.length")

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Base64 Encode in a Cell into a spreadsheet?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("base64", "Hello World") into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.

How many credits does each Base64 Encode in a Cell cell cost?

Each resolved cell costs 1 credit. Filling a column of ten rows costs ten times that; a cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a static sheet doesn't keep charging.

Can I fill a whole column at once?

Yes. Reference a range instead of a single cell — e.g. point Base64 Encode in a Cell at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("base64", "Hello World") down like any spreadsheet function.

Does Base64 Encode in a Cell work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?

Yes. It's the same =VERVE() function with the same arguments and the same key in both — build a sheet in one and it behaves identically in the other.

How current is the data?

Base64 Encode in a Cell is served live from APIVerve's production data engine, and cells recalculate on the refresh cadence you choose — every open, hourly, or every 30 minutes.

Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?

VerveSheets runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; Base64 Encode in a Cell is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.
