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

It's one of 300+ 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.

A real example — these inputs, and the values they land in your sheet.

Convert by the row

Fill =VERVE("base64", A2, "encode") 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.

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.

Base64 Encode in a Cell, answered

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", A2, "encode") 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", A2, "encode") 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.

Put Base64 Encode in a Cell in your next spreadsheet. Add the extension, paste the formula, and the cell keeps itself current.
